About CK Natural Fruit Juice
Founded in 2021, CK Natural Fruit Juice is a woman-owned, family-run food and beverage manufacturing company dedicated to producing high-quality, all-natural juice concentrates and value-added products. Based in the heart of New York’s Lake Erie Grape Belt, we proudly source from over 70 local family farms, supporting the region’s rich agricultural heritage while bringing premium fruit-based products to customers across the country.

From day one, the mission has been clear: create nutritious, delicious products that highlight local agriculture, support small farms, and build opportunity in rural New York.
