About Us
Who we are and what we do
Over here at White's Fruit farm, we've just celebrated our 21st birthday! This means we have masses of experience when it comes to knowing exactly what you want when it comes to quality juices.
Since 1993 we've been situated on our small farm in Ashbocking, just north of Ipswich. Originally a cider factory, Lawrence Mallinson bought the assets to James White and began to explore his love of freshly pressed apple juices. Originally one of the founders of the Convent Garden Soup Company, Lawrence had a knack for dreaming up and creating new flavours, and as a result, we now not only offer the best quality range of classic English apple juices, but also a variety of exciting new products. These include a Soil Association-certified range of organic fruit and vegetable juices, our world-famous spiced tomato juice (Big Tom), our most glamorous range of traditional drinks (Great Uncle Cornelius), our dinky little bottles of fun (Manic Organics) and, most recently, our new range of Thorncroft cordials.
We pride ourselves on the fact that our spicy tomato juice is fit for a Queen, as in 2002 we were awarded the Royal Warrant for Big Tom - we hope you find it just as tasty!
We believe that fresh and natural juice tastes so good, so why mess around with them? Which is why we don't - you won't find anything artificial in any of our products, and that's a promise!
What our customers say...
Be it trade or private customers, we pride ourselves on the personal relationship we have with everyone. As well as delivering the best quality produce direct to your door, we are always just a phone call away ready to answer any questions, queries or just to have a general chat about our juices!
"It’s always a pleasure to speak to the sales team as they are so friendly and helpful, and I feel that I’m taking to a friend rather than a member of a sales team. On the odd occasions when the order delivered is incorrect they are keen to correct any errors. If only I could persuade the customers to buy more of your excellent products then I would get to speak to you even more often..."
Robin Norman, Millets Farm Centre
"James White's range of delicous juices are always popular with our customers. The fresh flavours of the different apple juices, from sweet to bitingly crisp, suit all tastes. We find them perfect for sipping on a hot sunny day while overlooking the gardens..."

Lydia, Snape Maltings
"James White Drinks were one of the first local producers we started working with, and we are delighted to have been able to extend their range into stores across Suffolk as well as in Norfolk and Essex under our Sourced Locally banner. They are an excellent Suffolk producer, who we know we can rely on to deliver great quality products..."
Kevin, The Co-Operative
"Milton Ernest Garden Centre is very pleased to recommend James White organic fruit juices for the variety of flavours, quality and attractive pricing policy. The delivery is always reliable and usually within two days. Great Uncle Corneluis finest Spiced Ginger is a lovely non alcoholic aperitif but mixed with whiskey or cider makes that lovely tipple..."
