Kitchen Garden Farm

Location: Sunderland, MA
Farmers: Caroline Pam and Tim Wilcox
Supplies Real Pickles with fresh chili peppers, cucumbers, green cabbage, tomatoes

Tim and Caroline are food lovers and culinary masters. They are passionate about quality and flavor, both of which come through in all of the vegetables they produce. We’re so fortunate to be able to ferment Kitchen Garden Farm’s top quality produce for our Real Pickles products.

Tim and Caroline launched Kitchen Garden Farm in 2006, and farm on 25 acres of rich and productive river bottom soils in the Connecticut River Valley. They raise a wide diversity of vegetables, including uncommon cultivars carefully selected for optimal flavor. Tim and Caroline sell their vegetables to many of the region’s best restaurants, as well as a number of natural foods stores and co-ops.

Both Caroline and Tim have backgrounds rich in agriculture and cuisine. Caroline studied French cuisine and journalism and has often put these two talents together as restaurant critic and food writer. For his final thesis project at Hampshire College, Tim studied the practices of radicchio farmers in Italy. These two take food seriously – from soil to plate – and the results are delicious! They currently specialize in spice – even producing their own salsa and naturally fermented Sriracha using chili peppers and garlic grown on the farm. And in September they host a 2-day Chilifest, celebrating all things spicy, including a chili cook-off and hot sauce competition!

Check out Kitchen Garden’s goods at your local grocery store, and we hope to run into you at the Chilifest this year!

Been having fun playing with some @realpickles BRINE and landed on a classic Dirty Martini- but the lacto-fermented pickles are more subtle than the vinegary version- so good finished with a Dilly Bean! Bartender Katie @love.craft.cocktails made a great NA version with the Real Pickle Soda, too- you can ask for them spicy if that’s your jam!
This Earth Day, we celebrate our mission to produc This Earth Day, we celebrate our mission to produce food with a small footprint. Our farm partners are deeply aware of the impacts of climate change to our seasons, pests, crops, and extreme weather. By farming organically, they are also a big part of climate solutions. They are constantly improving their practices to build healthy soil that sequesters carbon and supports biodiversity. They eliminate pesticides and herbicides that are harmful to wildlife, consumers, and farm workers. And, like Real Pickles, their markets are regional and food miles are minimal. Organic farmers are our climate heroes!
