Specialty Pickling Cucumber Collection

Fresh Specialty Pickling Cucumber Collection

3 lb, 5 lb or 10lb Collection · Peak Summer Availability

Our Specialty Pickling Cucumber Collection brings together some of the most distinctive pickling cucumbers we grow each summer. Rather than receiving a single variety, each collection includes a carefully curated assortment chosen for exceptional crunch, thin skins, small seed cavities, and outstanding flavor.

A box includes 3–5 different varieties, depending on what's at its peak, creating a collection that's equally suited to dill pickles, bread & butter pickles, fermented pickles, refrigerator pickles, or simply enjoyed fresh.

This is a fresh product for pickling and eating. We do not sell seeds or plant stock.

Why Specialty Pickling Cucumbers?

Great pickles begin with great cucumbers. While most grocery-store pickling cucumbers are limited to a single standard variety, we grow a diverse collection selected for texture, flavor, appearance, and preserving quality.

Each variety contributes something different—from the classic crunch of American Kirby to the thinner, spiny skin of European Kirby, the striking ivory color of White Kirby, and the distinctive flavor and texture of Quark and Lime Snacker.

What's in the Collection?

The exact assortment changes throughout the season, but your collection may include:

American Kirby
The classic American pickling cucumber, with bumpy skin, firm flesh, and excellent crunch. Ideal for dill pickles, bread & butter pickles, half sours, and fermentation.

European Kirby
A refined European-style pickling cucumber with thinner skin, dense flesh, and a crisp, delicate texture. Excellent for fermented pickles, whole pickles, and traditional European-style preserves.

White Kirby (Salt & Pepper)
A beautiful cream-colored pickling cucumber with crisp flesh and a mild, clean flavor. Its striking appearance makes it especially attractive in mixed pickle jars.

Quark
A small, green-and-ivory striped specialty cucumber with thin skin, exceptional crunch, and a clean, sweet flavor. Excellent for pickling or fresh eating.

Lime Snacker
A bright lime-green cucumber prized for its sweetness, crisp texture, and refreshing flavor. Wonderful in refrigerator pickles, mixed batches, salads, or simply eaten fresh.

Harvested Fresh for Better Pickles

The quality of a pickle begins long before the cucumber reaches the brine. Cucumbers gradually lose firmness after harvest, which is why freshness matters so much when making crisp pickles.

Our cucumbers are harvested to order and shipped overnight directly from our farm. Starting with freshly harvested cucumbers helps preserve the firm texture, clean flavor, and satisfying crunch that exceptional homemade pickles require.

Perfect For

• Dill pickles
• Bread & butter pickles
• Half sour pickles
• Fermented pickles
• Refrigerator pickles
• Whole pickles and gherkins
• Mixed pickle jars
• Fresh salads and summer snacking

Because the collection includes several varieties, it also offers an opportunity to compare their different flavors, textures, skins, and pickling qualities side by side.

Seasonal Availability

Our Specialty Pickling Cucumber Collection is available only during the summer growing season. Each variety reaches peak quality at a slightly different time, so the assortment changes naturally as the season progresses.

Every collection reflects what is being harvested at its best that week. Availability is limited and varies with field conditions.
