1.2.2 About us

George is a gardener, illustrator and craft cider-maker. With a background working in a wide range of garden environments, his experience has taken him from ornamental gardening to food growing and working with natural ecosystems in focus. Witnessing large volumes of fruit going to waste in many private gardens led him on a journey to become a craft-cider maker, with much respect for the microbial processes involved. Over time, this has spillt over into a whole host of fermenting practices, creating rich additions to many-a-meal and prolonging the seasons in the kitchen. George’s illustration work can be seen in our labels, logos and other materials.

Alice is a medical doctor with a special interest in lifestyle medicine and planetary health and has been working as a general practitioner in the UK and Sweden. Apart from enjoying growing food in itself, she is passionate about the wider aspects of the process, with an interest in how being part of and interacting with natural ecosystems affects our overall sense of wellbeing, purpose and sense of compassion.

Both have grown up with gardening mothers, and a love for being in nature. Both have studied with Patrick Whitefield Associates in the UK, and with Elaine Ingham at the Soil Food Web school.
