Blue Skies is an extremely impressive success story for the people of Ghana. Their juices are extremely delicious and incomparable to any bottled freshly squeezed juice I've ever tasted. Too bad they aren't sold on the US market, because with flavors like pineapple-ginger, I'd be purchasing these yummy delights in New York all the time.
Not only did we get to speak with the Ghana Director of Blue Skies, but we lucky enough to tour their fresh fruit processing plant in Greater Accra. What was equally impressive was the facilities and services Blue Skies offers to their 2500 staff and farmers. They pride themselves as a sustainable business embracing a model valuing society, culture (of respect), and a goal (of profit). Perks for workers include subsidized meals, a library and internet cafe, free access to an on-site clinic, training for farmers, and subsidized fertilizer (compost from fruit waste) for their farmers.
Random pineapples from the trucks were sampled and tested for taste.
Their packaging was adorable. Modern, colorful and infographic-ish.
'From Ghana'. 48 hour shelf life.
