For ears/dozens, no need to pre-order.  Only need to pre-order if you are wanting bushels for freezing.  Ordering opens a few days before in our online store.

If you need a peck or half bushel, fill out this form to be added to the waiting list for pickles.  We will work to fill orders as we are able.  Crop picking is different every week and this is the best way to supply everyone’s orders as we have pickles.
