Blue Skies
We are Blue Skies. And we love fruit. But not just any fruit - fresh from harvest fruit which we turn into delicious dairy-free ice cream, freshy squeezed juices and fresh cut fruit. We started over 20 years ago in a factory in Ghana, and now have production facilities in the UK, South Africa, Brazil, Egypt and Benin. Our fruit is grown with pride by farmers, harvested at its optimal maturity, hand selected for quality and ripeness and delivered to your favourite grocery stores, fresh from harvest.
