Hello all!

In case you were wondering…..

We haven’t disappeared. We’re very much still about making our yummy fruit. The truth is we’re rubbish at blogs and prefer to spend free time out in the Derbyshire countryside. So that’s a little apology for not being very good bloggers but if you like spending time in the great outdoors we’re good at that and you’re very welcome to join us or tell us about some fun stuff you’re up to we can come join. Just send us an email or give us a call.

Speaking of emails we got lots of them from lots of lovely people recently who said that we were helping them beat chocolate which was good timing with Easter! All the same we hope if you did indulge in an egg or two or three - you thoroughly enjoyed them. Just don’t go and buy the ones that are left over in the shops even though they are less than half price- tempting as it is!

So to cause a bit of a healthy distraction: We’ve got the most delicious cherries coming this year after lots of snow this winter (snowy winter = good cherry conditions).  We’re going to get lots more pictures of the harvest this year so you can see how lovely and natural all of our fruits are made..there’s Moorish Kent mangos, juicy gold pineapples and of course our banoffee-like bananas keep getting better -there did that help get chocolate off the brain?

Urban Fresh Fruit in the Daily Mail!

A little article about us in the papers….

Urban Fresh Fruits’ Hayley and Andrew were interviewed by the Daily Mail this week about how small businesses are dealing with the current economic climate, as Hayley puts it:

“‘The whole reason we started the business was because we are passionate about health and fitness and this drives us, which I think is why we are doing well,’ she says.
‘Also, there is a growing awareness of the need to eat healthily combined with the fact that people are so busy. Dried fruit is a convenient, healthy snack and it’s not expensive.’ ”
