Ruby Jean was raised on soul food

Ruby Jean is the late grandmother of founder and CEO, Chris Goode. She was raised on a soul food diet and lived on very meager means, never in her life learning how to drive a car. She eventually moved to Kansas City, MO in the late 50’s with several other family members for a change of life.

She raised her family the same way she was raised, centered heavily on “soul” food. This included fried food, foods heavy on butter and seasoning salt. Her staple desserts were raisin pie and sweet potato pie, along with delicious cornbread smothered in butter. Ruby Jean was a very shy, hard working woman who loved her family very much. After a battle with T2 diabetes, kidney disease, and high blood pressure largely attributed to her diet, she passed away at the  premature age of 61 on July 28, 1999.

There is life in fruits in vegetables, it is our belief that that life, if consumed often, could have extended the time we were given to spend with our Matriarch Ruby Jean. Her early demise from type 2 diabetes is a fate more common than not. It is in her honor that we work to encourage healthier lifestyles through healthy beverages and food in welcoming and truly inclusive spaces.

Her Legacy Fuels our Passion for Healthy Living.

Once owner & CEO, Chris Goode, was introduced to the world of juicing and shown the documentary Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead by friends in Los Angeles, a passion for healthy living was born. Following his first juice cleanse, which lasted 10 days, he felt better than he ever had. He immediately thought of his late grandmother and wished she had the knowledge and understanding of the importance of healthy eating and drinking. Ruby Jean’s Juicery was born from the deep pain of Ruby Jean’s early passing, and the owner’s genuine belief that his grandmother would still be alive had she made healthier choices in her diet.
