I would like to introduce myself and tell you how and why I have decided to start my raw cold pressed juice business.

I am Gemma, the fruit and vegetables are the gems of the earth, so I thought Earths Gem is very apt. As a working mother of two daughters getting the five portions of fruit and vegetables for them isn't always easy. My youngest daughter doesn't eat them but will drink them when in a juice. I didn't want to buy the supermarket juices because of the additives so I decided to make my own. I bought a household juicer and loved to experiment with the seasonal produce. I quickly developed a passion for juicing.

In May 2021, my eldest daughter suffered a brain haemorrhage and spent time in Walton hospital undergoing lengthy operations. The consultant said it would take two years to make a full recovery. I took time off work. I am a registered nurse and my daughter needed me at home with her. During this time I studied with the Juice Master Academy and I am now an Independent Natural Juice Therapy Practitioner (CMA registered). The juices played a vital role in my daughters speedy recovery. People then began to ask if I could prepare juices for them and this further inspired me to purchase a commercial cold press juicer.

I do not pasteurise or use High Pressure Processing (HPP) which extends the shelf life BUT reduces the nutritional value.

I provide an eco-friendly service using glass bottles which also avoids the chemicals in the plastic bottles seeping into the pure juice.

I use fresh produce from independent local suppliers.
