(Pictured) 3 Bean Salad: Sweet and tart traditional pickle: onions, celery, sweet peppers, green, yellow and kidney beans. Great for Thanksgiving.

Bread and Butter Pickles! A classic old fashioned traditional recipe. Sweet, tart, and satisfying. We use a tried-and-true recipe from the 30's ...a prize winning traditional recipe. Made with our own Certified Organic cucumbers, onions, and sweet peppers, with vinegar, cane sugar, sea salt, and spices.

Classic Sweet Gherkins with a twist! Sweet and crunchy, made of West Indian Gherkin cucumbers! We call these cucumbers the "hedgehog" cukes! They are rock hard and spiny, not at all appetizing raw. BUT the recipe is a multi-day sugar cure followed by pickling, and the process penetrates and softens the cukes. The result is a crunchy sweet and tangy pickle that is surprisingly delectable!

Cleopatra's Cucumber Chips! A true tangy taste treat! Apparently Queen Cleopatra of Egypt credited including pickles in her diet with contributing to her health and legendary beauty! These beautiful slices are tangy and sweet, a real treat!

Hamburger Chips! The perfect dill slices for a burger.
This is a dill pickle with enough flavor to stand up to catsup or steak sauce! Our our Certified Organic cucumbers and garlic, with vinegar, sea salt, dill seed, and spices.

Sour Mustard Pickles! Old-fashioned Farmers Almanac recipe: In the search for a good sour mustard pickle I found this intriguing old recipe. From the Farmers Almanac, it is actually fermented and then canned! Crisp and wicked tasty! Made with our own Certified Organic cucumbers.

Sweet Mustard Pickles! A delightful alternative to sours. Sweet and tangy. While searching for a good sour mustard pickle I found this delightful SWEET Mustard recipe ...definitely is NOT a sour! Sweet and tart and very satisfying. Made with our own Certified Organic cucumbers.

Heirloom Tomatoes: Rarely blemish-free beauties, but juicy and delicious! A range of colors, flavors, sizes, & shapes, all with the kind of great old heirloom tomato taste not found in store-bought tomatoes. Use order note at checkout to request specific colors, sizes, etc, and we'll do our best to oblige.

Paste Tomatoes, Mixed Varieties: Paste tomatoes are meatier and often smaller than beefsteaks, great for salsa, sauces & salads. This mix may include larger tomatoes with more varied shapes than a standard plum tomato. Feel free to state any size preferences in the order note at checkout.

Tomato Seconds: Many tomatoes have cosmetic blemishes or get bruised, but still taste great. Cracks, cat-face, blossom end rot, these are some of the problems that make tomatoes less than lovely but don't detract frm their wonderful tomato flavor.
