Arden’s Garden
Atlanta, Georgia

When exercise and wellness enthusiast Arden Zinn bought the juicer she had always wanted in 1995, she called her friends and offered to make them juice for free.

They are committed to the belief that fresh juices and plant-based foods make you feel good from the inside out. They use real fruits and vegetables and no preservatives, concentrates, flavorings, artificial ingredients, or added sugar.

Brooks Tropicals
Homestead, Florida

In the early 1900s, Charlie Brooks and his son Dick started growing avocados, grapefruit, limes, and mangos in the subtropical climate just south of Miami. In 1928, Dick rode to New York City inside a refrigerated truck filled with Florida avocados to make sure the fruit would arrive fresh. That journey opened up new markets for the farm. In the 1960s, Pal Brooks followed his father into the farming business. Today, Pal Brooks and Greg Smith oversee operations that grow premium tropical fruits in Florida.
