Buy Black River products online in Canada
Black River is a premium Canadian beverage brand that has built a strong reputation for its high-quality cold-pressed fruit juices, juice blends, and organic offerings. Founded in 1979 by Keith Wallace and Grant Keane in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Black River Juice Company started as a small operation dedicated to producing fresh, authentic juice made directly from local cherries. With a deep respect for local agriculture and craftsmanship, Black River has grown while maintaining its commitment to pure, farm-to-bottle quality.
Black River began when Wallace and Keane partnered with local farmers to help sell juice made from leftover cherries, aiming to prevent food waste and support the local agricultural community. The popularity of their pure tart cherry juice quickly exceeded the farmers' supply, prompting the founders to acquire their own juice press and canning equipment, and to start producing juice themselves. Their first offerings included pure tart cherry juice as well as more unique flavors like gooseberry, red currant blend, and plum, all made without added sugar or flavorings to maintain the fruit’s natural integrity. From its early days pressing Montmorency sour cherries to its current wide-ranging lineup of single-fruit and blended juices, Black River continues to focus on minimally processed, clean-label products. Black River moved its operations to Mississauga, Ontario, and now produces a wide variety of beverages.
The company was named after the Black River that runs alongside the orchards in Prince Edward County, reflecting its deep roots in the local landscape and agricultural tradition. Black River’s mission has always been to provide no sugar added, preservative-free, natural juices and juice blends made from real, local fruit. Black River’s commitment to quality and natural ingredients helped it gain traction among Ontario retailers and expand into natural and health food stores throughout Southern Ontario. Most Black River juices are not from concentrate, contain no artificial preservatives, and use no added sugar, with the exception of a few traditional recipes like lemonade which use organic cane sugar. Many of the fruits are locally sourced from Canadian farms, especially apples and cranberries from Ontario and Quebec, with some exotic fruits (like mangoes or passionfruit) responsibly imported to meet seasonal availability and blend diversity.
Black River uses small-batch cold-press methods to extract maximum flavor and nutrients while preserving the natural taste profile of each fruit. Their juices are pasteurized but never over-processed, giving Black River a unique edge among commercial juice brands in retaining a fresh, full-bodied flavor. Known for its iconic clear glass bottles, bold fruit graphics, and clean branding, Black River appeals to health-conscious consumers, families, and foodies alike.
Still independently operated, Black River continues to support Canadian fruit growers, practice sustainable sourcing, and emphasize quality over mass production. With more than four decades of juice-making experience, Black River remains one of Canada’s most respected names in natural beverages. Black River stands out for its dedication to quality, sustainability, and supporting Canadian agriculture, making it a well-respected name in the natural juice industry.
