SUNNYSIDE FRUIT LIMITED

Sunnyside Fruit Ltd is a family‑owned wholesale frozen‑fruit operation based in Rathcormac, Co. Cork. After 42 years of growing soft fruit on the family farm, the business has been acquired by Pure Ingredients, allowing it to continue delivering premium frozen produce to the Irish food market while its founder, John Howard, pursues a separate seed and wild‑flower venture.

The company specialises in importing and distributing a wide range of frozen orchard fruit, citrus, berries, exotic varieties and selected vegetables. Its on‑site cold store, capable of holding 300 pallets, ensures that stocked product can be dispatched to factories within a day or two, keeping prices competitive. Major customers include jam makers, bakers, food manufacturers, juice bars and smaller suppliers who benefit from the cash‑and‑carry service.

In addition to frozen fruit, Sunnyside has expanded into supplying wild‑flower meadows, gamecrops and wild‑bird cover crops, offering expert advice on ground preparation, sowing and maintenance through a dedicated online platform. This dual focus reflects the company’s commitment to quality produce and sustainable agriculture for both individual and trade clients.
