When drinking a glass of Ribena squash, have you ever wondered who grows the British blackcurrants that go into your bottle?

Well, we want to let you know a little more about the friendly growers who help make Ribena drinks so juicy.

The farms are run by a handful of British growers who are really passionate about blackcurrants. We’ve been working with many of the growers’ families for generations and much of their expertise has been passed down to them from their parents and grandparents – it really is a family business.

New blackcurrant bushes are planted each year, but it takes about three years for the bushes to start growing berries and up to eight years before the blackcurrant bushes are at their peak for harvesting – so a lot of care and patience is needed.

And it doesn’t take long for the blackcurrants to be made into juice – most of them are squashed within 24 hours of picking;  that’s pretty fast work!
