Native Juice Co. is really a juice and smoothie bar that are experts in fresh beverages made from local ingredients. The organization also serves healthy snacks for example salads, wraps, avocado toasts, and soba noodle dishes. The owners offer the broader local economy and local producers by sourcing all their ingredients from San francisco bay area farmers' markets in addition to from the local farm in Petaluma that produces ingredients just for them.
Founded in 2022 by Caitlin Meade and Nicole Fish, Native Juice started off like a stand at two of the bay Area's bigger farmer's markets (Oakland's Grand Lake and San Rafael's Civic Center), and as a popoup around the corner of Montgomery Street and Pine Street San Francisco's bustling financial district. After two successful years accumulating their name recognition and a loyal local following at this location, Caitlin and Nicole opened Native Juice's first brick-and-mortar flagship location. And from there, their business continued growing!
Caitlin and Nicole are now working on expanding to some second permanent location, hopefully the SoMa neighborhood, and came to Pacific Community Ventures to make that dream a real possibility. Our funding will be accustomed to improve the new space and purchase new equipment – and to hire 10 new employees to staff the brand new location! They're also believers within our mission to create quality jobs, and will be offering health insurance to full-time associates!
