Reviving the foraging and fermentation cultures of our ancestors is at the heart of what we do at Old Tree and it couldn’t be more needed now when our Industrial 🏭 food system - dependent on the craziest extraction and consumption of fossil fuels ⛽️ just to keep profits being made for a few companies only - is on the brink of collapse. 📣 We urgently need your support to keep brewing for biodiversity and make Old Tree grow into the radical decentralised Regenertive network of microbreweries that we know the world 🌍 so badly needs!! If you haven’t chipped in or shared our @crowdfunderuk campaign yet - now’s the time!! We have some of the most delicious rewards you could imagine on our page and All donations are #climate match funded for the next 12 days only!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone that has supported us so far 💫 all the shares and donations they make such a difference - we’re HALF WAY THERE 🤗 Our campaign to make Brewing for Biodiversity viable with our new offering - Drink the Seasons is 50% funded through @crowdfunderuk This is a short version of our campaign video that’s less than 3 minutes - if you haven’t had time to check it out yet! We hope it makes it more digestible like our kombucha does to your food! All donations up to £250 are doubled for climate impact… this is a one off opportunity for us to be able to properly invest in growing Old Tree inline with our values and create meaningful jobs in forest gardening, foraging and fermentation for health and earth repair. As a CiC we’re committed to channeling future profits into community powered land regeneration and this is what we are already doing with our new orchard and permaculture farm revival TBA soon. Together we can co-ferment and compost a forest garden future 🥂🪱💚🍻🌸🐝✨ 🔗 in 🌳 #drinktheseasons #kombucha #fermentation #botanicaldrinks

In an age where AI is poised to cause so many job losses, we need a return to our senses!! We need more local jobs that build community and connection to land and place. To the sensorial world created by the elements and the plants and the microbes that we all co-evolved with… To bring back biodiversity we need to work with it, to work for it! This is the purpose of Old Tree. This is why we’re determined to make this work despite late capitalism. They said that banks were ‘too big to fail’. THIS is too important to fail. We need a new mindset we’re thinking about scale and a return to human technology. Machines that empower people instead of subjugating them!! Listen to our brewer Iside explain what her job means to her and support our CF to help us make more jobs in foraging and fermentation to regenerate biodiversity and agriculture across the country. ✨🌍💚🍻 We’ve been doing this for 12 years now but this is still just the beginning of the foraging fermentation and composting revolution that we are part of. Support our crowdfunder, help us create jobs that help people and Old Tree will grow and give back more than it takes. 🙏

All of this… came from one tree. Over the weekend at Birch Rising we followed the birch and its wider kin, and it gave us more than we expected! Paper made from fungi. Birch twig tea. Sweets, syrups, and sap. Chaga, tinctures, tar, fire, songs. And a group of people gathering around it all, sharing what they know 😍 It felt like remembering something. And now the sap we gathered, heads into production! That’s the thread we’re weaving here: from tree → to drink → to something that can sustain itself and thrive We’re into week three of the crowdfunder and have just passed £19k. If you want to join in with our next seasonal event, you can sign up to our mailing list, or look at our crowdfunder campaign for various ways of getting involved, and help us fund the next decade of Old Tree! Massive thanks again to @fergustheforager , @uk.forestmedicine , @iside_brewingwild and @compost.tom for leading the workshops, and to everyone who helped out! 💚 Reel made by @zo.rigg_socials . . #birchsap #birchwater #birchpolypore #blackberrywood #foragingevents
