At Bensons the Juicers, we always get excited when blackcurrant season arrives. It means one thing: juicy, bold British berries coming our way, ready to be turned into some of your favourite Benson's drinks and lollies.
All of our blackcurrants come from Pixley Berries, a brilliant team of growers based in Ledbury, Herefordshire. We've worked with them for years, and their fruit is always top quality, packed with flavour, and grown with care.
Grown with Pride in the British Countryside
Pixley Berries Farm is known for producing some of the finest blackcurrants in the country. Their berries are bold, juicy, and bursting with natural goodness. They pick each one at just the right moment, making sure we get the very best of the harvest.
Those delicious blackcurrants go straight into some of our best-loved Bensons products, including:
Joosed Fruity Water
A refreshing blend of fruit juice mixed with filtered still water designed to provide a tasty, hydrating drink. An alternative to squash with a fruitier tasting flavour and equally good for thirsty children or busy adults on the go.Frozen fruit juice lollies made with simple, natural ingredients. Apple and blackcurrant are star flavours here, too, bold, fruity, and perfect for a summer cool-down.
Why Local Really Matters
We’ve always believed in keeping things local. Getting our blackcurrants from a UK farm means they’re fresher when they arrive, and they don’t have to travel far. That’s better for the fruit, better for the planet, and better for supporting British farmers.
By working directly with growers like Pixley Berries, we can make sure every berry is handled with care, from the field to our juices!
The Bensons Way: Simple, Natural, Delicious
Once the fruit arrives at our farm, it’s pressed and blended into drinks and lollies you know and love. We don’t use concentrates, added sugar, or artificial flavours, just real fruit, treated properly.
Our goal is always the same: to make products that are full of flavour and full of goodness.
So, as blackcurrant harvest rolls in once again, we’re raising a glass to another season of brilliant berries, expert farming, and deliciously refreshing results.
