The Orchard is investing in a future you can count on.
CONNECTION
Things that look like love: a thoughtful “Good morning!”, someone making you toast, or tea, or bottles of juice with faces on them. Everything we do scribes the story of us being human together – every small gesture of goodness, every little thing in every day, connection in every xpression.
FEELING
Your guts are one of the places our juices know best and all scientific reasoning aside, we are pretty glad this is the case. To us, your guts are the most admirable part of you! To live, to feel, to come as you are, to endeavour with passion and arrive at a loss but never defeat, to learn, to love, to xpress – that takes guts, real guts.
IMPACT
What we reap from the branches and beneath the soil, we sow back into our community. The prosperity of xpressed is dependent on creating a future that you can count on, which is why we created The Orchard – our commitment to your future. Each year we dedicate 10% of our net profit to Australian organisations that give all their guts to bettering our shared humanity.
WELLNESS IS YOURS TO DEFINE
From its dining table beginnings, xpressed Juice has remained invariably devoted to growing a social movement through wholehearted, gutsy business. As of our first day of operating, we established pressing social initiatives to encourage continual betterment that puts wellness on the faces and in the hands of every person in Australia. We are committed to transparency just as we are committed to change. At the end of each calendar year, xpressed Juice will contribute 10% of our net earnings to three Australian not-for-profit organisations that give all their guts to our nation.
At the face of our business is humanness – feelings, sentiments, and modes of xpression. Our commitment to true wellness extends across mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. In Australia alone, one in six Australians are currently experiencing depression or anxiety or both – this is equivalent to 3.2 million people today. Support-seeking appears to be rapidly increasing, with around half of all people diagnosed now getting treatment. Accessible, ongoing, and non-discriminatory support remains crucial for systemic change, life-saving assistance, and the overall destigmatisation of ‘wellness’. So every year, we make an annual donation (4% of our net profit) to Beyond Blue, a not-for-profit organisation providing vital mental health and wellbeing support to Australians.
PAYING THE RENT
At the nature of our existence is our respect for the traditional owners of this land on which we xpress, create and profit. The work we do each day is conducted on unceded Yugambeh Country, for which we must repay what we can. Sovereignty never ceded, and reconciliation is yet to be achieved since this Country was colonised. Our society and culture are highly influenced by the contributions of First Nations people, and we are committed to supporting a future of recognition and Constitutional reform. Every year we disburse 3% of our net profit to stand in solidarity with Indigenous Australians by Paying the Rent.
FAMILY IS MADE IN THE GUTS
At the heart of our business is our kinship, the juice-loving Hutchins family. Before our full-time boss and full-time Mum was a Hutchins, she was a Smith; as good as the cricketer and even better than the chips. Unfortunately, the two Smith’s that brought Mum into the world were unkindly and unforgivingly taken away from us by brain cancer. Xpressed Juice is nothing without our family, zippo, zilch. So every year, we make a donation (3% of our net profit) to Cure Brain Cancer Foundation – the leading organisation for Cancer research, advocacy and awareness – in the hope that one day we will live in a world where Cancer is just a Zodiac sign.
