Health in Harmony A Holistic Center
Citrus Organic Juice Bar Café |
First opening in 2003 on Masons Island
Road, in late 2007 Health in Harmony is moving to a larger, expanded location
at
27 Broadway Avein downtown Mystic. Also debuting at that location will
be Citrus organic juice bar café. The most exciting thing
about our new location is we are taking an older building, tearing it down
to studs and renovating completely �green�.
Our efforts in �green� initiatives include
the following:
-
Plant-based insulation
-
Gypsum eco-friendly drywall
-
Cork and bamboo flooring and ceiling tiles
-
Travertine tile�a naturally occurring stone
-
High-velocity heating and cooling
-
VOC-less paints
-
Use of recycled building materials in our
design
-
Use of corn-based compostable containers for
food take away
-
Energy efficient appliances
-
Support of local businesses to avoid shipping
and transportation emissions and fuel consumption
-
Use of non-toxic cleaning products and recycled
paper products
Everything that is going into our renovation
is renewable and coming from the earth. Our new heating and cooling
system is particularly exciting in that it has sensors inside and out to
monitor the outside temperature. This system is energy efficient
as it is not constantly trying to keep up with the outside temperature;
rather it maintains a constant temperature. Our water heater will
be an on demand system that wastes no water and no electricity. This
will especially important for the efficient running of the new Café.
Citrus organic juice bar café offers
gourmet prepared fresh whole foods, raw foods and juices. This will
be an exclusive in Southeastern Connecticut. Citrus will offer a
seasonal menu with a variety of weekly specials utilizing many local farmers
for produce. Patrons have the option to grab and go with a good conscience
as all of our to go containers are corn-based and biodegradable.
For those who want to dine in, enjoy a delicious thoughtfully prepared
meal in a friendly and relaxed environment.
As a holistic center we feel that our clients
deserve a healthy environment as they pursue a healthy life style.
As a business we feel it our obligation to renovate this property leaving
as small a footprint on the earth as possible. With two rental apartments
upstairs from our center, we are working with the Mystic Fire Marshal installing
fireboard and faring that will satisfy all codes.
We would be excited to show all who are
interested in our work currently in progress. Our hope is to be in
our new location by the Holiday Season of 2007.
