McVicker Pickles

McVicker Pickles

McVicker Pickles creates unique pickled products and teaches food preservation classes in the Bay Area. We take traditional recipes and "Give 'em the McVicker!" with fresh flavor combinations that highlight the best of California's seasonal produce.

What inspired you to make this project?:
I live, eat & breathe pickles! My business has been growing strong for the past few years, and a big part of it has been incorporating a Maker mentality through sharing my knowledge with others. I teach classes to inspire other people to learn how to preserve their own food & create a stronger connection to what they eat. Fermentation in particular is a fascinating way to learn about the connection between farming, food systems & personal health. As much as I love creating & selling products, teaching folks how to preserve is my real passion.
