Groovy Grove Juice Corporation was a small business that sold juice made from organically grown vegetables. It was run in the barn at Groovy Grove Natural Farm.
Business History
Groovy Grove Natural Farm was originally the site of a hippes' commune, where the hippies enjoyed a relatively carefree existence while growing organic vegetables for food. After the radical days of the 60s passed, hippies Seth and Munchie stayed on at the farm and went into business, producing their own organic vegetable juice, called "Seth & Munchie's Garden Blast." They continued growing organic vegetables on the farm, only now using the crops to make the juice. They set up production, bottling, and most of the other business functions in the barn.
The business became quite successful, and many people in Springfield enjoyed Garden Blast.
Disasters
Groovy Grove Juice Corporation suffered two disasters when Homer Simpson came to visit. The first disaster occurred when Homer wanted to spend some time with Seth and Munchie to enjoy his newfound hippie lifestyle. Homer arrived at the farm to find Seth and Munchie on a break, and the trio played some hacky-sack. After that, Seth and Munchie were going to return to work, but Homer persuaded them to go into Springfield to "freak out squares." They returned to find that Homer's Frisbee had jammed in the bottling equipment, ruining a whole batch of Garden Blast and causing Seth and Munchie to miss a big shipment.
The second disaster occurred when Homer tried to correct the first one. That same night, in order to make amends, Homer harvested the remaining vegetables, put them into the juicing quipment, bottled the juice, and delivered the juice to every store in Springfield. Seth and Munchie were puzzled at first, because there weren't enough vegetables left to make the whole batch. Homer said he'd noticed the same thing, so he also harvested the other garden -- "the one with the camouflage netting" -- to have enough vegetables to make the batch of juice. That "other garden" was Seth's and Munchie's personal crop of peyote, which meant that Homer had just delivered hallucinogenic juice all over town. Many townspeople drank the juice and had bizarre hallucinations. The Springfield Police Department quickly got wind of what had happened, raided the farm, and probably shut down the farm and the business afterwards.
