MICHAEL’S STORY

The story of my company is a simple one – make the most delicious pickle and relish I can, then send them out into the world to be enjoyed as much as my family has for generations.

I combine the freshest local produce with spices and vinegars in a tried-and-true family recipe that creates a delicious pickle and exceptional relish.

I started gardening with my beloved grandmother when I was 7 years old. It is with undying love that I honor her and my mother with these products. I hope that you, your family, and friends will enjoy these wonderful products for years to come.

Enjoy!
