After the break, Julia welcomes Amanda Chantal Bacon to the show to talk about her business, Moon Juice, based in Venice, CA. Amanda is owner, creator, and chef at Moon Juice, however her career started in Vermont as a culinary student. Through trials and tribulations of ups and downs in the corporate world, Amanda came to the realization that she could rely on herself to open her own vision of Moon Juice. Taking Julia through a “typical” day at Moon Juice, including the daily delivery of produce, prep in the commissary kitchen, and running from place to place, Amanda also finds time to experiment with recipes. From there, Amanda shares how Moon Juice’s development works and the stages from inception to being bottled and sold. In the tail end of the interview, Julia asks about some of the more unique apothecary items available through Moon Juice.

“The thing that got my foot in the door was one, my last name was Bacon, but two, I could get down with some dishes and cleaning the grease trough.” [23:21]

“The goal with it is that from walking in and looking around and talking to the people behind the counter… all of that should be extremely pleasurable and healing, merging those two worlds.” [27:34]
