🐝 Bumble Bee Loving the honey suckle we planted years ago in a sussex garden and forage from time to time. We once made the most delicious Honey Suckle and Elderflower soft drink - we lightly fermented the sweet Honey suckle lemonade and it started it gave an incredible sherbert flavour! Then we Blended it with a freshly foraged elderflower infusion and supplied it in party barrels for a very special wedding drink that went down very well! We have started writing up all of our brew sheets onto a database recently as we’re building the online foraging and fermentation wiki that will enable us to grow like an Old Tree instead of a machine! It’s excellent discovering old classics and makes you realise how incredibly rich our cultures of localised food and drink production are - and will be again as this industrial system falls apart with all the harm it’s causing to our 🌎 and climate. #beethechange #bestdrinks #honeysuckle
Shout out to the good folk of @magpie_shabitat recycling! We’ve used these guys ever since we started scaling up our #Brighton #kombucha supply and needed a glass recycling service - they are brilliant! Eco warriors making the best of use of local resources and a worker owned cooperative being as resourceful as possible in these wasteful times. We wholeheartedly recommend them as a recycling service in Brighton and Hove 🙏🤟💚 #recycle #local #grassroots
We’re excited to announce that our third refil station funded by our #crowdfunder to #growoldtree has now been installed in the lovely #refill #store @storebrighton in the heart of Fiveways in #brighton We have the original as well as the #Sussex #rose #garden #kombucha all on tap! 33% cheaper if you #bringyourown bottle. We also have our knew flavour - Lemon Zest #greentea kombucha on, only currently available @storebrighton Drop by this week to try it out. More refill stations coming soon 🙏 #localdrinks #socialenterprise #livebotanicals
All of the charcoal that we produced with our #burntocharcoal and #biochar stove demonstrations at @campfireconvention ‘s Little Chill festival has been blended with a nutrient dense compost and returned to the soil where it will be of service to the beneficial soil microbes that make our crops and favourite plants grow for hundreds of years. This is how we want to build a carbon negative + climate positive brewing project. The model is simply - Burn wood to charcoal, Make botanical drinks with the heat, compost the used brewing ingredients at high temperatures to make safe and #beneficialmicrobe rich organic matter for local food growing projects and add the charcoal to boost the soil carbon and support #nodig forms of #regenerativeagriculture There are many ways to solve our #climatecrisis and they all involve the multitude of ways we all have at our finger tips - of storing carbon in the soil, instead of enabling it to be emitted as carbon dioxide from outdated combustion technologies that got us into this mess! #buildsoil #biochar #makecompost #cooltheplanet 🌎🌳🍻
Meanwhile in Apple Land. The IBC’s that we have previously brewed our delicious #westcountry and #Brighton allotment blend #cider and #cidervinegar in, (needed deeper cleaning..) and have been turned into KEEVING stations! If you’d like to learn how to make the best fermented uses of Apple land and discover why/how keeving is the best method of making naturally sweet cider - you gota come to our Apple Land festival - at the end of October! It’s an incredible 3 day community building harvest revival festival celebrating everything about our #Apple #abundance. A few early bird tickets are still left and the link is in our bio. Have a look at the video on the FB page for Apple Land 2019 to see how much fun it was last year - the first year in its perfect location - the #Permaculture kingdom of @threepools 🍻🍎🍾🍏🌳🙏✨
Introducing our #newteam ! These super stars are sailing Old Tree forward into its next chapter - to establish a reproduce-able closed loop botanical brewery that can harness the full powers of plants and microbes for economic, social and ecological regeneration. From left to right we have: Tai - our business manager, 🤝 Milan - head of sales and marketing 🍾 Harry - head brewer 🍻and fermenter 🦠 ! Freya - operations manager and old tree farmer ! Then there’s Tom who is taking the photo who is currently the only director, and is striving to work more with the #biochar brewing and preservation side of the business to supply the brewery with its botanicals as well as developing our educational and workshop offerings. We are trying to make #small #smallbatch and #seasonal breweries work to create meaningful local employment that combines brewing and gardening to make the best uses of our 🌳tree harvests🍎 and strengthen our local economy and ability to be more #resilient to the climate change we all face. We can only do this with amazing community support, like the kind that was shown to us though our crowdfunder to #growoldtree Thank you to everyone who helped us there. This is just the beginning! With all of you we are going to GROW OLD TREE now ! 🙏 #meetthebrewers #bestteam #oldtree
So much love for the @feedbackorg Gleaning network! These guys rescue tons and tons of fruit from local farms in ways that bring great folk together. On Thursday last week they bought us lots of fresh blue berries and we are steam juicing these today to be one of the powerful #botanicals in our new batch of #shrub Apple cider vinegar drinking cordial. Cider vinegar all made from our own annual Apple rescue missions and harvest press-tival.. Drinks don’t get more local and socially or ecologically positive than Old Tree drinks! #gleaned #gratitude #brighton #blueberries new shrub coming very soon to @hisbe_food and the other best shops in Brighton and #Sussex 🙏🍻🌳🍏🐝🍯
Picking the Porters perfection and Yarlingtons Mill Apples for our juice and Cyder and Vinegar production - at Apple Land last year. Local #heritage #applepicking is one of the activities we are scheduling this year for any one who wants to visit the #orchards close to @threepools where we will be having the celebration and making all the juice together. Apple games everywhere! Early bird Tickets for🎫 that include all meals are now on sale link in bio for eventbrite 🍻🍏 Apple Land 2019 excitement growing !
