Kent-based Jewish farm and community hub Sadeh is raising funds to start a pickle kitchen and micro-brewery.
Its Lone Goat Brewing Company has crowdfunded more than £4,000 of its £10,000 target and has begun preparing its pickled sauerkraut and fermented hot sauce to fulfil its first batch of orders.
Sadeh chief executive Talia Chain, 31, explained that staff at the Orpington enterprise viewed the break during the first lockdown as an opportunity to realise a dream they had when the farm was established in 2017.
“There is a big shortage of people coming in to work in the fields at the moment so there’s plenty of food to be picked,” she said. While some of the Sadeh crops had been given to the local community during the pandemic, pickling was a “really important part” of preventing food waste.
