🍎 Keeping it local. Building connections. Growing together. 🌿
Today, me and Ron took a little trip to Cam Valley Orchards in Meldreth, just down the road from us, to meet the people behind the produce, explore their apple varieties and look at securing our supply throughout the winter months.
And what a productive morning it turned out to be!
One thing we’re becoming increasingly passionate about at Pressed & Blessed is building relationships with local growers and producers.
Knowing where our ingredients come from, understanding how they’re grown, meeting the people behind them and keeping more of our business within our local community.
Because supporting local isn’t just something we want to talk about. It’s something we want to build into the foundations of our business.
And today opened up a brilliant opportunity!
Cam Valley Orchards grow, pick and freshly press their own apples, and we’ve now agreed for them to supply us with 20 litres of freshly pressed apple juice every week. Pure apple juice, no additives, ready for us to incorporate into our own intentional blends.
For us, that’s a win on so many levels.
🍏 Supporting local growers and keeping business within our community.
🍏 Sourcing quality produce with a clear connection to where it comes from.
🍏 Saving hours of washing, chopping, grinding, pressing and cleaning.
🍏 Creating more time to spend with the people who matter most, our customers.
We’re extraction specialists, and understanding our ingredients and the best ways to extract them will always be part of what we do.
But we’re also learning that growing a business isn’t always about doing everything ourselves.
Sometimes it’s about finding the right people to grow alongside.
And this is what I absolutely love about building Pressed & Blessed. The conversations, the curiosity, the local connections and discovering smarter ways of working without compromising our values.
Because ultimately, the less time we spend behind the juicer, the more time we have to be out in our community, sharing knowledge, connecting with individuals and supporting wellbeing.
Locally connected.
Thoughtfully produced.
