Jeany’s Caribbean Elixirs
Austin Food & Wine Alliance Grant: $5,000
Najean Bernard brings the flavors of her native Grenada to Austinites through her cold-pressed juice company Jeany’s Caribbean Elixirs. The company’s cleanly labeled products are crafted with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients and without heat pasteurization to ensure retention of nutrients.
Alliance funding will go towards the purchase of a refrigerated cargo van that will allow Jeany’s to expand operations in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio and continue its social mission of employing marginalized communities such as foster youth and individuals who have been previously incarcerated.
