Kennesaw Juice

Kennesaw Juice is a century-old, family-owned fresh juice producer headquartered in South Florida, with roots tracing back to 1923. Founded on a simple farm-to-bottle philosophy, the company has grown from a regional citrus distributor into a nationally recognized fresh juice brand serving retail, foodservice, and hospitality clients across the United States. The business originated by transporting fruit between Kennesaw, Georgia, and South Florida — including pineapples, watermelons, and citrus — before transitioning into juice production and distribution. Over the following decades, Kennesaw expanded into gift fruit stands, local restaurants, and bars, and by the 1990s had established an in-house quality assurance laboratory and begun shipping products out of state. Its first out-of-state customers were in Georgia, and growth continued from there into selected retailers and hotels nationwide. By the 2000s, the company had gone fully national and began providing private-label fresh juice products for retailers across the country, including an early partnership with what would become Whole Foods Market. Today, Kennesaw Juice operates across three generations of family leadership, maintaining a commitment to the same core process: hand-selecting fresh citrus and vegetables, cold-pressing them on the day of harvest, and bottling the juice within 24 hours — with no artificial additives. The company's product lineup includes orange juice, grapefruit juice, and lime juice, along with citrus and vegetable juice blends. All products are positioned as cold-pressed, minimally processed, and made from organic-quality, clean ingredients sourced from small and mid-size sustainable groves across the United States. Kennesaw Juice supplies a variety of channels, including major hotel chains such as Marriott properties (Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort and Spa, Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile), as well as retail and on-premise foodservice accounts. The brand is particularly recognized for enabling white-label and private-label partnerships, allowing hospitality and retail partners to feature Kennesaw's juice under their own branding or directly under the Kennesaw name. Its in-house quality assurance capabilities and decades of processing experience make it a reliable co-manufacturing and private-label partner for CPG brands and foodservice operators seeking fresh, premium juice products. The company's enduring reputation for quality, simplicity of ingredients, and cold-pressed freshness continues to differentiate it in the competitive refrigerated juice market.
