COUNTY Limerick company, Wild Orchard Smoothies and Juices, has announced that it will be supplying the Munster Rugby squad with its award-winning products from now on.
The local producer of premium quality natural smoothies and fresh juices will supply Munster for its nutritional program.
Paul Darbyshire, Munster's Head of Strength and Conditioning, said: "We have selected Wild Orchard smoothies because they are a highly enjoyable means of providing the Munster squad with their fruit requirement. They are fresh, natural, and completely free from additives and come from a local Munster company.”
From their little juice factory at the foot of the Galtee Mountains, Wild Orchard produces strawberry smoothies, blackberry & blueberry smoothies, yoghurt smoothies, fresh orange juice and many other tasty and healthy products.
These products have won many awards including Great Taste, Blas na hEireann and Best Dairy Product at SHOP 2006.
It was founded nine years ago by Diarmuid Crowley and employs eight people.
Mr Crowley added that he is delighted with the agreement and it recognises “the craft and dedication that goes into making superb smoothies. Our smoothies are made from the finest fruits we can find and are gently and carefully produced by our highly skilled production team".
The Munster squad will consume up to 300 smoothies every week.
