Griffy’s Organics continues to promote health and wellness by fueling the community with clean, functional ingredients

When it comes to health and wellness, Avry and Chris Griffin have always believed in keeping things real, clean, and community-driven. As first cousins, and Founder and Co-Founder of Griffy’s Organics, their journey from local entrepreneurs to wellness advocates is rooted in making healthy living accessible for everyone.

A beacon in the community since 2019, Griffy’s Organics began as a free health and nutrition blog designed to help people educate themselves and explore alternatives to prescription medicine. From there, the brand expanded into wellness coaching and nutrition consultations, and eventually took its work brick-and-mortar with the opening of its first shop in Long Branch in 2021.

The team at Griffy’s works hard every day to ensure each ingredient they use is the best for their customers. From Aronia berries grown locally in Hopewell, New Jersey, to spirulina, turmeric, and other inflammation-fighting staples, each component of their recipes is carefully sourced, studied and considered. 

Whether it’s promoting circulation, calming inflammation, or supporting gut health, Griffy’s recipes are built on research and results. “We’ve heard feedback about how the juices have helped people manage a variety of conditions including chronic conditions like arthritis and autoimmune challenges, to digestive issues and even cancer,” says Avry Griffin, Founder of Griffy’s Organics. “Hearing that our products are making a difference keeps us going.”

When sourcing ingredients, the team at Griffy’s pays close attention to where their product is coming from, referencing the Dirty Dozen list, researching digestive enzymes made in the U.S., and seeking out growers who uphold organic practices.

Some of Griffy’s key ingredients include: 

  • Raw Cane Juice: Griffy’s cold-presses raw sugar cane, a clean, mineral-rich and natural sweetener that delivers pure energy without the crash.
  • Sea Moss Gel: Sourced from the volcanic waters of Saint Vincent; mineral-rich, fueling immunity, energy, and daily vitality.
  • Aronia Berries: Locally grown in Hopewell, New Jersey; improves heart health and a boosted immune system.
  • Spirulina: Promotes detoxification, boosts energy, supports hydration and is good for joints.
  • Beet Root: Supports blood flow, immunity, circulation and energy.
  • Turmeric: Supports cognition and addresses inflammation. 

Griffy’s also offers personalized health consultations directly with Chris, Co-Founder and Head of Nutrition, who provides one-on-one guidance and custom plans tailored to individual needs. Many of these sessions support people navigating serious health challenges.

The Griffy’s team is kept well-informed through weekly meetings and ongoing educational training, ensuring that everyone, whether they are a new hire or seasoned staff, understands the science and purpose behind each product, and how to best guide their customers. 

“We have worked hard to create a place where people can find hope and healthier ways to live, and we’re happy that Griffy’s has become that in our communities,” continued Avry.

Griffy’s Organics has storefronts in Long Branch, Asbury Park, Red Bank and Colts Neck. For more information on Griffy’s, its ingredients or to schedule a health consultation, visit griffysorganics.com
