Eyup! I’m Michael, and in 2024 I began Mickles Pickles, hand-making small batches of ferments, pickles and hot sauce.

I’ve always been in to my food, condiments especially, but this journey began like many other small businesses during lockdown, where my housemate introduced me to fermentation and I started mucking about with all sorts of recipes.

My Lemon Pepper Hot Sauce was the first to get dished out amongst family and friends, and enough of them told me I should have a go at selling it that I thought I’d give it a go.

Now here we are, and I stock what I think is a pretty nice range of accoutrements to jazz up your plate, one pickle at a time! You can find me regularly at markets local to Leeds, or stocked in a variety of shops & restaurants around West Yorkshire (and soon, beyond!).

There will always be a core range of products available, but I do like to dabble in seasonal specials too, so keep up with me on Instagram for the latest drops.

I’m also available to create custom products for your friends (or enemies, I won’t judge), so drop me a message and we can discuss!
