The Crowd

The Crowd means community

The crowd means decentralisation, the crowd means that we are together in this food transition to a healthier and planet proof food system.
We at SauerCrowd want to bring all these wonderful fermented food producers together on one platform. To share the love for gut-friendly and sustainable food. 

The Crowd is here to increase diversity. 

1. Diversity within us by offering organic, handcrafted plant based food full of viable bacteria to strengthen our inner microbiome and increase the diversity and resilience within our digestive system
2. Diversity around us. Our planet is suffering from monoculture practices on farmlands, destruction of nature, and the extinction of species all around the world. SauerCrowd stands for biodynamic, organic, and regenerative farming as the future model of growing plants to nourish humanity. 
Our Promise: Everyone joining the Crowd is responsible for their actions and business practices. Every product offered on this Crowd-Webshop is grown and fermented/produced in compliance with our brand promises. 

The Crowd means learning and exploring together 

The Crowd is open for everyone. Are you interested in gut-health, fermentation, sustainable food production and consumption, plant-based food, a organic & local food system, and most of all the connection between gut & your brain? You found the right place to be!
We are striving to keep SauerCrowd an open platform for change-makers. Change form the inside out. Healing from the inside out. 
Because: 

The Fermentation Crowd

Willicroft Plant based cheese

Brad Vanstone

In 1957 my grandparents moved to Willicroft Farm in Devon with 1 tractor, 12 cows and a pack of cigarettes. They started farming to tackle the greatest issue facing humanity at that time - feeding the nation after the Second World War. They built the farm from the ground up turning it into one of the most respected dairy farms in Devon.

Much like Willicroft Farm, we're also addressing the greatest issues facing humanity today - the warming of our planet. We're reimagining how we consume cheese. The mission is different, but the keys to success the same - dedication, partnerships, and real love and passion for what we're doing.

Cultures and fermentation play a huge part in cheese-making. We're reimagining how we consume cheese combining age-old techniques with a more planet-friendly ingredient base.

My Vegan Fam

My vegan fam

Hey there, this is Valentina!

Busy with Vegan food and Nutrition since my eighteen (which is quite some time ago, now) together with my husband I have always loved to produce our own food: tofu, seitan, tempeh, fresh pasta, bread and pizza, kombucha, fermented drinks and vegetables...cakes and anything that involves chocolate. Recently, I have discovered a burning passion for Tempeh that pushes me to get out and spread the love and awareness for this fantastic yet not so known food. 

MyVeganFam originates from our family of four but with the time the meaning got wider, embracing everyone that feels responsible for a more sustainable way of eating, living and respecting other living beings. Anyone is welcome to feel part of the Fam!

I hope you get inspired by the pictures and the loves that shines through them, and that you like our Tempeh as much as we do!

Peace, Love and Tempeh - Valentina

Roots, Rice & Beans

Our good friend Andres from Roots, Rice & Beans made it his mission to embrace the community to learn more about sustainable farming, regenerative agriculture, seasonality and local food choices with the aim to create a regenerative society. We believe that having knowledge on composting, harvesting, and where your food is coming from, we can create a bigger impact today! We share so many of Andres values and are super happy to have him as a friend and partner on this common mission to create more diversity (inside & outside).

Andres develops new creations with us and together we are working on his famous Taco box which includes our raw, fermented Salsa!

Stay ready for more events on Andres farm (& the CSA de stadsgroenteboer) in the West of Amsterdam together with SauerCrowd and The morning on Mindful eating within our Newsletter. 

YAYA KOMBUCHA

Yayay kombucha SauerCrowd raw fermented fermentiert kombucha brew 

Tom and Charlotte simply have one goal and that is to make Europe’s best tasting kombucha. YAYA Kombucha is working on a mission to bring soda back to life. YAYA Kombucha is a freshly brewed, unpasteurised product made with 100% organic and real ingredients like loose leaf theas and cold-pressed juices.

In the brewery in Amsterdam the whole team is dedicated to sourcing the best ingredients, like organic, yuzu juice from Japan and interesting net hop varieties.

Tom: “We wanted to make something that is unique in flavour, refreshing and with the perfect sweet and sour balance”.

 

OhNaMi

OH NA MI is Kimchi. It does not come from a precise recipe, but through research has become a patchwork of my experiences in horeca over the past 19 years, and the teachings of my mother who continues to bestow generations of kimchi knowledge to me.

Traditional authentic Korean kimchi for professionals and supermarkets. 

Alex Boyce is a big part of the Crowd since day 1, with him, we were also able to develop our famous Kimchi Kraut which is made from organically certified ingredients and has a well-balanced umami taste.

OhNaMi is also part of Kitchen Republic which is the Amsterdam food start-up community kitchen we are based at.

BUMI Mindful Foods

Story 

We are Florian and Daan: enthusiastic outdoor athletes, nature lovers and above all good friends. Back in 2016 we were searching for plant-based products that are tasty, nutritious and easy to prepare. As we couldn't find them, we decided to take matters into our own hands, with the plant-based food brand BUMI as a result. 
BUMI means earth in Indonesian. It is our ode to all the beauty that grows out of the soil. Under the motto Mindful Foods we want to keep this earth healthy together with conscious home cooks like you. 
How? By developing nutritious and sustainable products with which you can easily cook something tasty. 
Lupin is a protein-rich legume that grows very well in Europe. This makes it a sustainable alternative for legumes from faraway corners of the world. 
The lupin bean gives our tempeh a nutty, slightly sweet taste. It was love at first bite.
