From Grove To Glass, Uncle Matt’s Organic Celebrates 15 Years Of Producing Organic, Quality Citrus

Uncle Matt’s Organic, the nation’s original organic juice company, is celebrating 15 years of creating 100 percent organic, great-tasting citrus produce and juice. To commemorate this milestone, the company has released two new delicious varieties of juice: Orange Mango and Orange Tangerine. Orange Mango and Orange Tangerine offer two more ways for people to get their daily intake of vitamin C, from a trusted organic farming family.

“We’re proud to be celebrating 15 years of furthering our family’s philosophy of growing healthy and nutritious crops using organic and sustainable farming methods,” said Matt McLean, CEO and founder of Uncle Matt’s Organic. “At Uncle Matt’s Organic, we’re committed to meeting our customer demand by providing the highest-quality product and fresh-squeezed taste. We’re thrilled to be adding these two new flavors to our existing line of organic juice products.”

Uncle Matt’s Organic offers a fresh-squeezed taste and gourmet quality without additives, artificial flavors or preservatives. Moms can feel good about providing Uncle Matt’s Organic juice for their families, because it is the highest quality juice with no added sugar or flavor packets and is a great source of essential nutrients (vitamin C, vitamin D, potassium, folate and phosphorus). The two new varieties complement the existing variety of product which includes the following juices: orange, grapefruit, apple, lemonade.

Orange Juice: Goodness in Every Sip


In addition to being one of America’s favorite beverages – consumed in nearly 70 percent of American households – orange juice is a nutritional powerhouse containing more than 100 percent of the daily value for vitamin C. Vitamin C is a nutrient known to be important to the immune system and intake of vitamin C rich foods may help support a healthy immune system. Further, published studies conclude that regular consumption of citrus may help play a role in helping to support healthy cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Moreover, research shows that organically-produced foods are also higher in antioxidants and other nutrients than their conventional counterparts. For these reasons and more, Uncle Matt’s Organic juices are a tasty, convenient way to ensure that you are getting your daily dose.

It Starts from the Ground Up


Uncle Matt’s Organic is a family run business with expertise that dates back four generations. Each generation of growers carried on the tradition, honing the initial growing philosophy, which advocates stewardship of the soil as the means to producing the healthiest, most nutritious crops possible. Uncle Matt’s Organic believes that less toxins in the environment and less toxic residues are ultimately what is best for everybody, especially the food we consume. Their philosophy is based on the idea that building healthy soils will yield a healthier tree. The company is committed to supporting family farmers and to helping farms convert to organic and embarking on long-term, sustainable strategies to eradicate Citrus Greening Disease.

The State of the Orange Report: The Power Behind the Peel


As part of their steadfast commitment to healthy living, organic farming and certainly not least of all, quality organic produce and juice, Uncle Matt’s Organic has released a comprehensive orange trends and research report. “The State of the Orange: The Power Behind the Peel” examines the current state of the orange juice industry, and the issues at stake to keeping orange juice on America’s table.

Despite the variety of health and usage benefits, juice sales have continued to decline yearly since 2007. This is in large part due to reduced supply and increased costs directly attributed to the Citrus Greening Disease epidemic. The disease has devastated Florida’s citrus crops and is quickly spreading to California and Texas. The continued spread of the disease could pose serious consequences for America’s favorite juice.

The report details the state of the orange juice industry, the importance of choosing organic, the benefits of orange juice, explores myths and offers usage tips and recipe suggestions.
