Green Farm Juicery is preparing to relocate within Hyde Park Square, ensuring the healthy eatery remains in the neighbourhood it has called home since 2019.
The business will move from 2727 Erie Ave. to 3431 Edwards Road, taking over the former Macaron Bar space after the building housing its current location was sold as part of a major redevelopment project planned for Hyde Park Square, as reported by the Cincinnati Business Journal.
Speaking with What Now Cincinnati, owner Mara Boord said staying in Hyde Park was never negotiable because of the strong community the business has built over the past several years.
“We’ve had a really wonderful customer base from the get-go,” Boord said. “Our customers supported us through COVID, and we have people who come in multiple times a day. We love our Hyde Park clientele.”
After learning the current building had been sold, Boord said the team immediately began searching for another nearby location.
“When we found out our building was sold, the most important thing for us was to find a location close to Hyde Park Square because we have such loyal customers and wanted to continue serving them,” she added.
The new space is roughly 500 square feet, about half the size of the current restaurant, but Boord believes it better suits Green Farm’s business model.
“I actually think our current space is a little too big,” she said. “We’re really a grab-and-go business, so this new location fits us much better.”
Construction is expected to begin once permits are approved, with Boord hoping to welcome customers to the new location by the end of the summer.
One of the biggest advantages of the relocation, she said, is that customers should experience little to no interruption during the transition.
“My goal is to close one day and open in the new space the next day,” Boord said.
While smaller, the new restaurant will continue serving Green Farm’s full menu of cold-pressed juices, smoothies, acai bowls and other healthy offerings. The redesigned layout will also improve operations by moving much of the production area behind the scenes, creating a quieter customer experience.
“We’ll still have the same wonderful customer service and healthy products,” Boord said. “It’s just going to be a much more efficient grab-and-go location.”
The move also brings a feature customers have long requested: dedicated parking.
“We have dedicated parking behind the store, which is a huge game changer for our customers,” Boord said. “A lot of people just want to run in, grab something and go.”
Green Farm will continue introducing seasonal menu items and monthly specials alongside customer favourites, including the Cookies & Cream Smoothie, Peanut Butter Acai Bowl and its new Cherry Balm smoothie. The business is also known for its raw, cold-pressed juices, made without processed sugars and designed for customers seeking clean, nutrient-rich options.
Reflecting on the past several years, Boord credited the Hyde Park community with helping the business survive its most difficult moments after opening just months before the COVID-19 pandemic.
“When we had to close during COVID, our customers supported us in so many ways,” she said. “They ordered produce from us, we delivered juice to their homes, and they really embraced us. We feel like we’re part of this community.”
Although the relocation was prompted by redevelopment, Boord sees the move as a positive new chapter.
“I think change isn’t always easy, but in this instance it’s going to be good,” she said. “We’ll have a beautiful new space, dedicated parking, and we’ll still be right here serving the Hyde Park community.”
Looking ahead, Boord said Green Farm’s focus remains on operating its company-owned Hyde Park and Blue Ash locations while supporting continued franchise expansion. The brand currently has franchise locations in Mason, West Chester and Bay Village near Cleveland, with interest from prospective operators in Kentucky and North Carolina.
Once construction is complete, Green Farm also plans to celebrate its new home with a community grand opening event.
“We want to celebrate not only our new location, but also our community,” Boord said. “We’re excited for this next chapter.”
