The pickle kitchen would be a means of producing food during the winter months, with the brewery launching in the spring. “The amazing thing about pickles is that they can live on your shelf for an exceedingly long time.”
Once it is licensed, the plan is for Lone Goat to sell cider made from apples from the farm and a variety of beers. Products will be available via Sadeh’s website, as well as at its café and farm shop (when allowed to open). The money raised from crowdfunding will go towards specialist equipment.
The retreat centre has been closed for most of 2020, causing Sadeh a significant loss in revenue.
Ms Chain acknowledged that it had been a “very difficult” year. But Sadeh had responded with an entrepreneurial spirit.
Asked why the brewery’s founder, Josh Charig, had chosen the name Lone Goat, Ms Chain said it originated from his admiration for the animal — and also, “why not? Goats are awesome.” To mark the brewery being set up, Sadeh was looking to foster a pair of rescue goats “so they won’t be lonely”.
