MAYNARD HOUSE ORCHARDS LAUNCHES NEW SUFFOLK APPLE JUICE RANGE
Maynard House Orchards, Suffolk apple juice producers, has launched nationally, offering its range exclusively to the hospitality industry, including fine dining restaurants, hotels, pubs, bars and other food service outlets.
Maynard House Orchards began apple juice production in 2007 for a local market which has seen a significant growth of around 145% y.o.y. over the last three years.
Responding to increased demand, the company invested £140,000 over two years into the construction of an innovative farm-based production hall.
This offers a purpose-built facility with a 2,500 Sqft production area and a cold storage capacity of up to 300 tonnes of apples.
Since the completion of the building in September 2009, Maynard House Orchards has seen an increase in its overall turnover of 72%, in apple juice sales alone.

The company has also recently achieved SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval) certification.
