Ring in 2012 with good friends and in a pickle's splendiferous new attitude to some old favorites that includes our sweet & spicy pickle peppers!
Add luck to your year with a few lucky peas... raw black-eyed peas make a beautiful accent to any champagne glass... we put a few in the bottom of the glass and then pour a bit of the bubbly in for the first toast of the New Year! We DON'T recommend adding these to your glass at the end of the night...
Something you will want to try is our version of Black-eyed Pea Chowder... yummy! AND to go with that chowder you may want to add some in a pickle pepper Focaccia. Another fun idea is a twist on your favorite bloody Mary mix... Try ours with sweet & spicy pickle peppers.
Thanks again to all our pickle peeps for an incredible 2011... Here's to 2012 - may yours include happiness, peace and love...

3rd Annual Art for a Cause - in a pickle Will Be There!
It's not often that we allow ourselves to get warm and fuzzy but this Fort Worth event hosted by local brewery Rahr and Sons is definitely on the top of our warm and fuzzy list!
It's the third year that the brewery has hosted Art for a Cause, an event that provides holiday shoppers an outlet to buy handmade gifts from local artists and contribute to great charities at the same time! (Last year the event raised about $3,000 for the three charities sponsored.) The three charities that will receive 20 percent of sales this year are the Humane Society of North Texas, Meals on Wheels of Tarrant County, and The Warm Place, a grief support center for children and their families. Rahr and Sons will host this event on Wednesday, December 14 from 5pm until 9pm.
We want all of our pickle peeps to come out and make a difference!
Shop local,
give local and
have a beer to boot!
in a pickle foods will be there with pickles and jams AND don't forget our special holiday case for $65. You can buy one today for hostess gifts and stocking stuffers by going online or calling us at 817.584.5835... but you can really make a difference by buying it at this event - Wednesday ... see you there!!!
