There are no concentrates or added sugar here – everything in the bottles is just good, honest fruit juice.

CLIVE’S FRUIT FARM Clive’s Fruit Farm first started in 1921, and has been passed down through one family ever since. They only started juicing in
2002, though, as a way to use up surplus fruit – and they pride themselves on producing juice which is 100 per cent natural, and is pressed and bottled within hours of the fruit being picked. No surprise, then, that they’ve won heaps of awards. You can bag these juices at Waitrose or Ocado, as well as through a bunch of independent retailers. Or, even better, you can visit the farm for yourself and peruse the other goodies on offer at their recently opened farm shop, then relax in the café – or even pick your own fruit! ✱ Upper Hook Road, Upton-upon-Severn, Worcester WR8 0SA; clivesfruitfarm.co.uk

to suit different diets and requirements. All ingredients abide by the same quality standards as the rest of the shop, and range from juicy raspberries, blueberries and strawberries in their ‘Very Berry’ smoothie and – a firm favourite – the ‘Triple Green’, with its kale, spinach, kiwi, ginger and lemon. These guys also offer specially crafted shots to help boost your mood or support your immune system, using special ingredients like manuka honey, goji juice, and raw cacao. Real juice junkies can pick up a loyalty card giving them a free juice once they’ve bought ten, too.
