Phil Harding (Co-founder) shares the story behind the business.
Story
Greensand Ridge is a different kind of distillery: a visionary one. One that was its founder’s, Will, dream. One with the lightest possible touch on the land. One that seeks to reduce food waste from local surplus. It’s made distilling sustainable.
All products are made with 100% renewable power and the distillery is completely chemical free. All of the distillery’s waste is reused or recycled. For example, waste heat from is captured and reused to preheat fermentations, still charges or to heat the distillery premises and they only produce one black bin bag of waste every 6-8 weeks!
What’s unique about Greensand Ridge?
Will’s vision came to life: Greensand Ridge is the UK’s first carbon neutral distillery. In 2019 they won the two most important sustainability awards in our industry. And he’s balanced sustainability and taste: Greensand Ridge have won numerous prestigious awards for taste.
Greensand Ridge is an agent of change in our industry. Everything about it is measurable and traceable and designed to minimise or neutralise its impact. It proves that distilleries can operate sustainably. And it’s a clear choice for consumers who like their drink but like the Earth too.
Greensand Ridge is more than an experiment: it’s a way of life. A delicious one.
