The Crafty Pickle

We are two nutritionists handcrafting gut-friendly, unpasteurised, living fermented foods in South East Wales. We're on a mission to reduce food waste by using as much perfectly edible but imperfect or surplus produce as possible to craft our raw, vegan, naturally nutritious sauerkrauts and kimchis. A percentage of all our sales also goes towards addressing food insecurity. Our motto is FERMENTATION HARNESSED TO FIGHT FOOD WASTE!

We're based in Crick, near Chepstow having moved to South Wales from Aberdeen, Scotland earlier this year in anticipation of our first baby boy being born!

It all began while we were studying for master’s degrees in nutrition at the University of Aberdeen where a mutual love for sharing jars of sauerkraut and in-depth chats about food over endless pints kindled the idea of The Crafty Pickle Co. A trip to the Scottish West Coast fuelled by un-refrigerated jars of fermented goodies cemented the idea as a real possibility in our minds, that we could create a business combining our major passions: nutrition, fermented foods, science and sustainability.

As Registered Associate Nutritionists we're dedicated to sharing and promoting evidence-based nutrition science in ways that make it actually exciting to hear about. We also both have backgrounds in microbiology (yep, major nerds) so are keenly aware of the fascinating yet complicated world of microbes that transform raw ingredients into delicious ferments, are vital to life and make up more than half of the cells in our body.

Our aim is to create tongue-tickling, small-batch fermented foods that add vibrancy and diversity to our diets, to do so in as resourceful and respectful way as possible and to become a part of the solution to the food waste travesty we currently live in.
