Though envisioned much longer, Green Market Farms has been in operation since 2015. I've always advocated hydroponics as the future of agriculture, but more so loved the idea of growing my own food without "digging in the dirt".

Diagnosed with PCOS  shortly after, I struggled with the symptoms  for years. My father insisted my diet was a major contributor to my condition as one of our many similar conversation went as follows:

​

Dad: "Laurane it's your diet. You need a well rounded diet and especially  more vegetables"

Laurane: "How much bush will I eat?" after being tired of eating "enough" vegetables all month.

Dad: Very matter - of - factly  "well you need to get more in your system, even if it's by osmosis."

​

He then made me vegetable juices which I consumed for the month that followed. While the taste left much to be desired, they worked like a charm!...no pain, no break outs and a punctual cycle. The best part was, I was already growing some of the very nutritious ingredients. I then began researching getting the daily nutritional requirement , the most

nutrition from our food and how to conveniently consume it....even by osmosis!

​

During my research I learnt of cold pressing which maintains the nutritional content of our food much more than cooking as no heat is applied...so I literally drink raw fruit and vegetables. I then grew more of the ingredients chemical-pesticide free, so I know exactly what goes into my food and developed my own dietitian approved and much more palatable juice & smoothie recipes. I designed the menu to achieve the benefits of the cross

section of vegetables as the various color/classification of vegetables all serve a different function for our body. Visually, the juices are red, green, yellow, orange and purple, hence the menu titled "The Juiced Rainbow". 

 

This has since been "home" for me, as I thoroughly enjoy not just the benefit of a healthier diet and a PCOS - symptom free life, but the reward of each customer's exuberance when they too experience the benefits of consuming the juices and smoothies.

​

Linking arms with Gynecologist - Dr. Anthony Pottinger and Registered Dietitian - Alisha Daniel has been nothing short of a symbiotic relationship,as both specialize in PCOS and other hormonal conditions, which affords customers in-house access to more of the resources I've utilized in my health care journey. Customers now have the option of medical and nutritional assessments and customized plans to target their specific health goals.

​

The journey does not stop here, as my focus on plant and human nutrition fuels the continuous development of more convenient, raw, plant-based and nutrient-dense offerings. Learn more about The Juiced Rainbow and subscribe to join in the journey and be the first to know of any new developments!
