Hi guys, sorry for the loooong abscence from here, but we had to put everything on hold due to a family member falling very ill. All is back on track though i'm pleased to report. We had a bit of a crisis finding a jar manufacturer who would accept low order quantities, but we found one willing to w...

Hi Jasper, et al We are still on track, we have tweaked 1 or 2 potential investors, and we are in the process of collecting all the projected income/expenditure required for the business plan. Unfortunately we have had to give up on sourcing British suppliers of the canning jars. Kilner wants to sta...

All the best guys

What food have you going to waste FEISTY? Until we get this business off the ground, jars will be pricey, ...

Hey folks, how's about a recipe section, there's got to be many variations of more or less the same thing, and I think a lot of age old recipes have been lost or forgotten. Maybe we could revive a few? I personally think it's pertinent to our way of life. What do you guys think? All the best, Daz
