We’ve Gone Co-op!

Thanks to huge support from our community, a successful community investment campaign, and many months of hard work from our founding co-op team here at Real Pickles, this morning we signed the documents that made the conversion official. Real Pickles is now “Real Pickles Co-operative.” We are still the same folks who bring you healthy, fermented veggies from regional, organic farms – but now we have expanded our mission to include a democratic workplace and access to ownership for our employees. We have also secured our social mission for the long term! More info on our Invest page…
