Real Pickles is a worker co-operative working to change the food system by making pickles! It all started when Dan Rosenberg began making traditional pickles in 1999 after attending a workshop at a Northeast Organic Farming Association conference. Excited about the benefits of locally grown food, he started pickling cabbage, turnips, greens, and other vegetables as a way to eat locally throughout the winter. Dan also got inspired by the work of Dr. Weston A. Price, a researcher who traveled the world in the 1920s and 30s studying the diets of indigenous peoples and who found that those eating traditional diets enjoyed a high level of health completely unknown in industrialized societies.
The folks at Real Pickles are committed to promoting human and ecological health by providing people with delicious, nourishing food and by working toward a regional, organic food system.
They aim to produce the highest quality, traditional pickled foods available, using natural fermentation and 100% organic vegetables only from Northeast farms.
