When Jerri Evans, Owner of Turning Natural first opened her juice bar she could have only dreamed that it would infuse her life, her staff's life, and her customer's life, with such vitality and opportunity. It was Evans' late mother Annette Turner, who started Turning Natural, after being diagnosed with Stage II Breast Cancer. Sadly, after almost 10 years living cancer-free, the disease returned, and Annette fought her final fight in 2010.
Shortly after her mother transition, Evans quit her then career as an Aeronautical Engineer to pursue helping those who were looking to take better care of themselves. Juicing was a major component in helping Turner remain cancer free. With over 20 years in juicing and holistic living, Jerri knew that Turning Natural would provide a valuable service to communities that would otherwise lack "better choice" options.
Turning Natural is more than a juice bar, it's a health movement! The mission of Turning Natural is to bring better choices to communities that are underserved; making healthy foods affordable, cool, and ultimately taste like magic! Community and integrity being two of our main core values, we pride ourselves on educating, reconnecting cultures and providing juices made with love and precision. Our main interest are good vibes, better food, and excellent company!
