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

Yesterday’s staff appreciation lunch was catered b Yesterday’s staff appreciation lunch was catered by our sweet friends at @dreamhouserestaurant, who treated us to a delicious breakfast taco spread (with plenty of Jill’s special green sauce!) and a scrumptious fruit salad that paired perfectly with our staff-made cookies.
Our quarterly staff lunches are a time for all of us at Real Pickles to gather, nourish ourselves, and connect outside of our daily work. One of the great perks of sharing a workspace is getting to share meals and moments like these together.
We’re grateful for another successful year of fermenting—here’s to many more. #RealPickles #WorkerCoop #NortheastGrown
