Ribena - fruit juice soft drinks.

Our growers have been working with The Wildlife Trusts to make Ribena blackcurrant farms suitable homes for many different species of wildlife.

This work has allowed struggling animals to thrive on the fruit farms, some of which are no longer seen in parts of the UK, such as the brown hare.

Brown hares have declined 80 per cent in the UK over the past 100 years, but you can thankfully still see them running around the Ribena blackcurrant fields, at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour!

We’re lucky to have yellowhammers on our fruit farms as well. With their bright yellow head and breast, these attractive birds are easy to recognise.

You can have a little listen to what a yellowhammer sounds like on YouTube and take a look at one of the brown hares on a Ribena berry farm in Norfolk.

Ever wondered where the tasty blackcurrants that go into Ribena squash are grown?

A handful of British blackcurrant growers produce the Ribena berries that go into our squash, at berry farms up and down the country. You can see which counties juicy Ribena berries are grown in on the map below.

Now why not find out more about the juicy blackcurrants that go into Ribena squash!

We’ve been out spotting wildlife on the Ribena blackcurrant farms!

In fact, the Ribena Team works with The Wildlife Trusts to help encourage wildlife that is in decline in the UK. As a result, our growers report that there’s been an increase in the number of barn owls, grey partridges, brown hares & yellowhammers on some farms.

Take a look at some of the wildlife we managed to snap at a Ribena berry farm on a sunny day in August.

There are even more great wildlife pictures on the Ribena Flickr page.

What animals have you seen on your county walks? We’d love to hear from you and see your family pictures.
