Garlic Dills Win Again!

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Real Pickles’ Organic Garlic Dill Pickles won a national award at the Good Food Awards ceremony in San Francisco.

Co-owners Dan Rosenberg and Addie Rose Holland joined about 800 farmers, food artisans, chefs and journalists from around the country in San Francisco on Friday for the Good Food Awards ceremony. “We’re thrilled to be recognized for the flavor of our pickles, as well as the positive environmental and social impact of our business,” said Holland after the winners had been announced. ‘It’s so inspiring to be at the Good Food Awards and to meet like-minded small producers from around the country.” 

The Good Food Awards are given to artisan producers in five regions of the U.S. in 13 categories: beer, charcuterie, cheese, chocolate, cider, coffee, confections, oils, pantry, pickles, preserves, spirits, and honey. The Good Food Awards highlight outstanding American food producers who are making food that is exceptionally delicious and supports sustainability and social good.

The Organic Garlic Dills were one of 197 winners chosen in a blind tasting from over 1,900 entries from around the country. There were 17 other winners from New England, including Shacksbury Cider in Middlebury, Vt., and Cricket Creek Farm in Williamstown. Real Pickles’ Organic Garlic Dills won the award in 2011 and 2012 and their Organic Beet Kvass was a winner in 2015.

Instagram post 2197489521246290884_1431849163 Environmental sustainability and a resilient community are at the core of Real Pickles’ mission. This year we added a whole new solar array to our roof, making us 100% solar! We also added an organization to our year-end donations that is working to promote community resilience, food sovereignty, economic equity, and climate stability by uniting frontline communities into a formidable force for climate justice. The Climate Justice Alliance provides resources to the people who are most impacted by the climate crisis. We are so inspired by their important work and hope you will consider supporting them too!

Instagram post 2193003097016771704_1431849163 As part of our year-end tradition of giving, we would like to recognize the Northeast Organic Farming Association, which does essential work strengthening the organic food system in this region. 
A donation to NOFA supports advocacy and education for sustainable organic food and farming initiatives; they are a strong voice for the health of our soil, food, communities, and planet. 
NOFA also holds a special place in our heart as Real Pickles’ founder, Dan Rosenberg, was inspired to begin making fermented pickles in 1999 after he attended a workshop at the NOFA summer conference. Please consider putting NOFA on your list of charitable donations this season!

For over 25 years, CISA - Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture, has been supporting Western MA farm and food businesses through the #bealocalhero campaign, technical assistance, and networking programs connecting farmers, producers, and buyers throughout the region. We are deeply thankful for all they have done to increase awareness for the importance of local food. Real Pickles would not be where we are without CISA. 
Please consider giving to @cisa_localhero this season! .
