In about a week or so, depending on the weather, we’ll be ready to start harvesting pickling cucumbers. Our largest crop, pickles (this season) represent about 600 acres of our total acreage. Our crop reaches the market in two ways – through a processor, or directly to the fresh market. The sizes in the picture below represent 5 of the 6 sizes we sell and as we grade through the crop, we must sometimes be within a ¼ “ to have a saleable product. Like most produce, pickles are graded on quality and Long & Scott Farms is fortunate to enjoy an excellent reputation in the industry. Believe it or not, by this time next week, the pickles in this photo will be double or triple in size!
Do you have a favorite pickle recipe? Please send it along and we’ll share it on our social media pages.
