Products

Created by Knudsen on his farm in California, the company manufactures over 125 different products, many using organic ingredients. Its most well-known line is a family of natural, non-carbonated juices sold in 32 fl. oz. glass jars, available in the United States at natural food stores and supermarkets.

Recharge and Spritzers are part of the range of products offered using the brand. While the former is a sports energy drink marketed as a natural competitor to Gatorade, Spritzers is a line of juice-flavored carbonated drinks sold in 12 fl. ounce aluminum cans.

All of Knudsen's products are shelf-stable without refrigeration; as such, they do not directly compete with refrigerated juices such as Odwalla and Naked Juice.
