🍎 Sheffield apple (of my eye) Cider Vinegar 2021
Commissioner: Internal Project
Location: Sheffield
Team: Matt, Nicole, Lucy, Tara, Ross, Hannah
We developed a locally foraged shelf stable and 'live' apple cider vinegar available through multiple price points to create genuinely accessible fermentation products. Sold via our website, delivered by our team on foot, and also stocked around Sheffield at independent food retailers.


Crushing fruits to make sodas
How many apples does it take to make vinegar! We worked with a heavy glut in 2021. To develop what would become our first accessible fermented product. Apple Cider Vinegar is a wonderful ingredient with benefits. (You can hear about some of them through our promotional ads)!
Social Pickle's vinegar was sold throughout Sheffield through partnership shops and via our online page.

It's a winner

Matt gets geeky on the apple juice terroir

Liquid gold!

Put it in a bucket and airate.

The sodas were screwed up and given their fermentation starter of ginger bug (see library for recipes). Left to do their magic over a few days.

The last piece in the activity is to name and label the drinks!
Our apple cider vinegar launch had to take place online. With hand deliveries taken place the week before!

Pickle Fest
Pickle Fest. Is Sheffield's DIY celebration of all things Fermentation!





PF was born of a love for fermenting, processing and sharing.
in 2023 we held our biggest event to date. Welcoming over 600 proud and potential picklers into Sadacca's wonderful cultural community space in the Wicker.
Since then we've been resting, building, waiting for the right moment to return.
Could now be it! And would you like to help?!

What we need!
Pickle Fest is run by volunteers as a DIY festival for Sheffield's wider cultural and food scene.
