At Blakes Always Organic Limited – we are passionate about Organic food. Why? Because we believe it’s healthier because it contains neither pesticides nor additives. It is more sustainably produced, adheres to higher production standards, and not only that – we believe that Organic products taste better too!
We hope you enjoy our Blakes Always Organic range which includes locally-produced Milk Kefirs and our locally roasted fine blends of whole bean coffees: – Our Bord Bia Award winning Culture Blend, our Purely Arabica blend and our Peru CO2 Decaffeinated beans.

We launched our first blend of whole bean coffee: Blakes Always Organic ‘Culture Blend’ Coffee.
This blend won the Bord Bia Organic award in 2016 for the Best Prepared Product category, despite stiff competition. In the Summer of 2018, we were proud to add a second blend of coffee to our products: Purely Arabica Blend, and recently launched a third Organic coffee: a Peruvian Arabica, decaffeinated using the CO2 method rather than solvents for a coffee with all the flavour but little or no caffeine.
Blakes Always Organic commenced selling Organic Kefir.
Starting off, we made batches of kefir in a small 20 litre Bain Marie, which we bottled and labelled by hand. We had to move to a 200 litre vat within 3 months and in 2018 we had to purchase a 850 litre vat. We currently produce around1600 litres per week. The product proved to be very popular with our health conscious customers. Three years later, and our production scale has grown continuously to cater for the increasing demand as the undisputed health benefits of milk kefir is the main driver of sales.
Blakes Always Organic is based in The Food Hub, Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim since 2012.
The company is focused only on certified Organic produce. Our current products are Organic Kefir, (a probiotic health drink for gut revitalisation made with whole organic milk.) and Whole-bean Artisan Organic coffees.
