Poly's Juices,George Polymiadis,Riverland

Residents in one of Australia's largest citrus growing regions are buying up bottles of a locally-produced juice as its creator shuts down after 31 years.

Growing up in one of Australia's largest citrus producing regions, George Polymiadis had a dream — to make the best tasting fresh juice.

"Our family grew oranges, apples and grapes, and when I was working for Berri Vale we decided the fruit prices were so low that we'd try to look at value adding for our own benefit," he said.The former microbiologist said he drew on his skill set to achieve his vision of creating a fresh juice that lasted up to a month.

With a lack of succession interest from his sons he is open to selling the business, but doesn't want to wait for a buyer. "We were pretty fortunate in that we were supplying all the hospitals, most of the hotels and local supermarkets."
