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! Visit them and learn more at @cjaourpower or at climatejusticealliance.org .

With gifting season upon us, why not treat someone you love with a gift that gives back to these family farms? Real Pickles gift certificates are available in custom dollar amounts or for our 4-jar sampler with or without a Real Pickles T-shirt!

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!

Instagram post 2190945023607215224_1431849163 In honor of Giving Tuesday and the season of year-end donations, we’d like to highlight some of the organizations that we are supporting. We hope that you’ll consider them in your charitable donations too!
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! .
