Meet our producers! Here are Arthur and Madi- founders of ‘The Crafty Pickle Co’.
About
Arthur and Madi developed a mutual love for sharing jars of sauerkraut and in-depth chats about food, over endless pints, whilst studying for their master’s degrees in nutrition at Aberdeen University! Here began the idea for ‘The Crafty Pickle Co’ and a realization that they could create a business combining their major passions: nutrition, fermented foods, science, and sustainability.
” We craft raw, unpasteurised, naturally fermented vegan sauerkrauts, kimchi and piccalilli that go great on LITERALLY EVERYTHING!”
An Environmental Focus
Fermentation allows The Crafty Pickle Co to preserve fresh produce, so we can enjoy it for longer! Arthur and Madi have researched that currently 1.3 million tonnes of edible food is wasted each year, with 1/3 of food produced never leaving the farm. So, as food-loving nutritionists, they hate to see it go to waste. They are food rescuers, and we love them for it!
