Our Farmers

As part of our commitment to support a regional, organic food system, we purchase all of our vegetables and fresh herbs and spices from organic farms in the Northeast.

We source primarily from 8 organic farms located on the rich soils of the Connecticut River Valley and within 40 miles of Real Pickles. The farmers we work with are committed to building healthy living soil and have a wealth of experience in growing organically. The result is ingredients of the highest quality, full of flavor and nutrients.

We invite you to read these profiles of our farmers.

🥒 It’s pickle season! Crisp, tangy and full of fl 🥒 It’s pickle season!

Crisp, tangy and full of flavor, lacto-fermented pickles are one of the best parts of summer. 

And they’re more than just delicious. Naturally fermented foods help support gut health and because gut health is closely connected to immune function and mood, supporting your gut can benefit your whole body.

✨ Bonus: Fermented cucumber pickles naturally contain GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a compound involved in supporting a calm, balanced nervous system.

So go ahead, enjoy that pickle! Savor the season, nourish your gut and give your body a little extra love. 🥒

Last week, Real Pickles staff ventured out to East Last week, Real Pickles staff ventured out to Easthampton, Mass., for our annual field trip to visit Liz and Ben (and Clover the dog!) of Mountain View Farm.
Mountain View Farm is one of our amazing farm partners that supplies Real Pickles with organic cucumbers, green and red cabbage, leeks, onions, peppers and flowering dill. Last year, Mountain View delivered more than 58,000 pounds of organic produce to us, including over 20,000 pounds of pickling cucumbers!
The land we visited last week was just a small portion of the 100+ acres that Ben and Liz farm. This particular plot is used mostly for growing flowers and vegetables for their award-winning U-Pick CSA shares. While we didn’t get to see any baby cukes at this location, Liz showed us photos of future Organic Dill Pickles growing beautifully on the farm’s leased land in Hadley, Mass.
As we walked the Easthampton fields together, we learned about some of the ways Ben and Liz are preparing for the upcoming season, including plans to make cucumber harvesting even more plentiful and easier on the crew’s bodies.
Thank you, Liz and Ben, for hosting us and for being such incredible partners in our mission to build a strong regional food system!
