Want to reduce plastic in your home without compromising on quality or wellness?

At Traverse Bay Farms, we believe every health choice should also be a smart environmental one. That’s why, since 2001, we’ve bottled every drop of our award-winning Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate in recyclable glass—not plastic. As more consumers embrace the “deplasticize your kitchen” movement, we’re proud to offer a product that’s not only good for your body, but better for the planet.
Our commitment to USA-grown cherries and eco-conscious packaging reflects a deeper mission: to deliver clean, functional nutrition in its purest form—without compromise.
Let’s take a closer look at how we’re helping lead the sustainable wellness revolution, one glass bottle at a time.
Glass Over Plastic: A Conscious Packaging Choice
Unlike many juice brands that rely on plastic containers and imported fruit, Traverse Bay Farms uses only glass bottles for its cherry juice concentrate—and has for over two decades.
Why glass?
-
It’s non-reactive, meaning it won’t leach chemicals into the juice
-
It’s infinitely recyclable—without degrading quality
-
It preserves the flavor, potency, and antioxidant value of tart cherries
-
It helps you cut plastic from your pantry, kitchen, and life
As Andy LaPointe, company spokesperson, puts it:
“Our customers want more than just clean ingredients—they want packaging that aligns with their values. That’s what glass delivers.”

Why Does Packaging Matter for Wellness?
Health-conscious shoppers are increasingly paying attention not just to what’s inside the bottle, but to what the bottle is made of. As research raises concerns about microplastics in food and water, glass has become a go-to for families looking to detox their homes—inside and out.
It’s a small change with a big ripple effect: supporting your health, protecting the environment, and reinforcing your values with every pour.
