McClure’s Pickles – CRFA Show 2011
The McClure’s first learned how to make the pickles from their grandfather and parents and now they continue the tradition with a bit more room. They make the pickles, relish, mustard and other McClure’s products just outside of Detroit, Michigan and in Brooklyn, New York. They use as much local produce as possible when it is in season and when it’s not, they call up the farms and speak directly with the growers to know where the produce is coming from and how it is being grown making sure they are getting some of the best, freshest produce available. Every jar is hand packed, the cucumbers hand sliced, and the labels, printed by Rolling Press, using soy and vegetable inks with chemical-free plating and are created with wind-powered electricity.
Their pickles have been featured in the New York Times, Bon Appetit, and are a favorite of Martha Stewart.
