six years and counting

The middle of July is always a busy time of year as this is when production of our pickles really shifts into high gear.  It’s hard to believe it’s been six years since this all began.   Our very first production was July 13th, 2004.   We made all of 26 cases of pickles in about eight hours.   It seemed like an impressive number at the time… but the numbers certainly have gone way, way up since then.

I remember being very proud of my light green chef’s coat (actually a very subtle tie dye) and also conscious of a sense of belonging.   This was where I was meant to be.   Well, we are still here.   We celebrate the anniversary of the company forming in a legal way every year at the end of March, but I think this production anniversary is more meaningful.  That’s all for now… it’s time to make pickles!
