So who bought 'Quorn', and the canning operation?

The businesses there over the years consisted of a salmon fishery and canning operation, a logging operation, and a mining company.

Oskar Blues launched the canning operation in a 60-year-old barn next door to the pub in the fall of 2002.

The performance was a temporary canning operation that harvested, processed and canned the gallery itself.

This small canning operation grew rapidly, focused on canning the products of California's booming fruit and vegetable industries.

Today, a handful of canning operations remain and they do not operate year-round.

In addition, the North Koreans have threatened to restart their reprocessing plant if the canning operation stalls.

In the second half of the 20th century, processing technology improved and commercial canning operations emerged.

But Quorn, the meat substitute, and now this canning operation have raised £350m at prices that haven't caused panic.

The company has already sold Quorn, Chivers jam and its canning operation.
