Find out more about them here.
In 2018, Happy Hedgehog Foods was borne via a rather old, but quite sizeable jam pan. From this cauldron of magic, unthinkable jams and preserves were concocted. More kitchen alchemy led to the creation of our unique brand of fruit-flavoured apple cider vinegar that is bursting with sweetness and flavour. All products made at Happy Hedgehog Foods have their own personal story and fascinating histories. You can find Apra running the Happy Hedgehog Café on a weekday, however, her spare time is reserved for devising and perfecting new delicious recipes.

Carrie Rimes makes her ewe’s milk products by hand in small batches with natural ingredients, using traditional methods. Working on a Welsh hillside farm, Carrie’s goal is to make cheese, yogurt and ice cream that bring out the best qualities of the milk. She is enthusiastic about adapting to seasonal nuances – every batch needs an individual approach. Patience and tenacity are required to make sure that the cheeses mature happily and successfully. These are life-long skills that Carrie started to explore as a youngster experimenting with cheese-making on the family farm, and more recently during three years working at a small French farm fromagerie in the heart of the Auvergne.
