Verd began at home.
For years, I made juice for friends and family. Sometimes it was for someone recovering from an illness. Sometimes it was for a difficult week. Often, it was simply an act of care.
Two years ago, my mother asked if I could start making juice for her regularly. After decades of navigating breast and ovarian cancer while raising four children, she had recently been diagnosed with lupus and was looking for small ways to feel more supported in her day-to-day life. Around the same time, my sister was navigating PCOS, and making juice for both of them became part of our daily routine.
What began as a few bottles in our kitchen became a ritual.
Each morning, I’d source ingredients, press fresh juice, and deliver it to the people I cared about most. Over time, it became less about the juice itself and more about what it represented: consistency, attention, and showing up for someone, day after day.
Recently, I received my own lupus diagnosis. Verd grew from that experience.
Today, we press fresh each morning, produce in small batches, and deliver locally while freshness is still within its window. A portion of every purchase supports the Lupus Research Alliance.
The same care that started this ritual still guides every bottle we make.
