Invest in Real Pickles! Invest in Our Community!

We are excited to announce the latest step in our plan to go co-op:  An opportunity to invest in Real Pickles! To help make our transition to a worker co-operative a reality, we are selling non-voting preferred stock in Real Pickles.  We are able to accept investments from residents of Massachusetts and Vermont.  The minimum investment is $2,500. We are seeking to raise a total of $500,000, to allow for the co-operative purchase of the business and to provide funds necessary for us to increase production of our Northeast-grown, organic pickles. Investing in Real Pickles is an excellent way to support our transition to a co-operative structure – and our continuing work in helping to build a vibrant, regional, organic food system!  Read the details on our Invest page…

Last week, Real Pickles staff ventured out to East Last week, Real Pickles staff ventured out to Easthampton, Mass., for our annual field trip to visit Liz and Ben (and Clover the dog!) of Mountain View Farm.
Mountain View Farm is one of our amazing farm partners that supplies Real Pickles with organic cucumbers, green and red cabbage, leeks, onions, peppers and flowering dill. Last year, Mountain View delivered more than 58,000 pounds of organic produce to us, including over 20,000 pounds of pickling cucumbers!
The land we visited last week was just a small portion of the 100+ acres that Ben and Liz farm. This particular plot is used mostly for growing flowers and vegetables for their award-winning U-Pick CSA shares. While we didn’t get to see any baby cukes at this location, Liz showed us photos of future Organic Dill Pickles growing beautifully on the farm’s leased land in Hadley, Mass.
As we walked the Easthampton fields together, we learned about some of the ways Ben and Liz are preparing for the upcoming season, including plans to make cucumber harvesting even more plentiful and easier on the crew’s bodies.
Thank you, Liz and Ben, for hosting us and for being such incredible partners in our mission to build a strong regional food system!

Looking for a new recipe for soup night? Pickle so Looking for a new recipe for soup night? Pickle soup may sound unusual at first, but it’s a long-loved comfort food in parts of Eastern Europe and a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of fermented foods. This recipe has a rich, savory flavor with just a hint of tang and a whole lot of heartiness. Dig into your winter vegetable stash and pop open a jar of Organic Dill Pickles — you may have just found your new favorite soup! #RealPickles #SoupSeason #Organic #Recipe #Pickles
