Farm Fresh Florida Pickles are a Big “Dill”

Last Updated on February 22, 2024

Are you looking for farm fresh Florida pickles?

Florida is known for its citrus groves, but many people don’t know that the state also grows cucumbers. In fact, Florida ranks third in the US for the production of cucumbers.

Mr. and Mrs. Pickle Pickles.

The farmers in the Sunshine State grow over 25,000 acres of cucumbers each year and bring in a million dollars to the state economy.

Because of this large production of delicious cucumbers, we get great options for farm-fresh Florida pickles.

With locally grown and hand-picked pickled cucumbers, these Florida pickle companies offer the tastiest selections for their customers.

James Dauenheimer, Abbie Dauenheimer, and Scott Michalski were out for lunch one day in Tampa and decided that the pickles they had for lunch lacked flair.

The lackluster pickles sparked a conversation between the three friends about what would make the perfect pickle. Within days, the three were experimenting with ingredients until they had created the perfect pickle recipe, and The Chill Dill was born.

Twenty-five years ago, Erwin Hartman moved to Florida from Long Island to follow his dream of creating the best pickle in the world that reminded him of the ones from his local deli in Brooklyn.

Erwin wanted to create a fresh, crunchy, flavorful pickle made from a freshly picked Florida cucumber. Once he picked the cucumber, he would quickly place it in brine, and then immediately serve it.

Little did he know, Erwin was a “farm to table” producer before the term was even used.

Farm Fresh Pickles are fresh and full of flavor due to them being constantly refrigerated and never pasteurized. If you’re enjoying a Farm Fresh Pickle you can be sure that it’s fresh! Florida Farms sends fresh-picked cucumbers that go through the brining process and are sent out for delivery 24-48 hours later!
