The remaining product that is acceptable for processing is then packed and brined into 4 & 5 gallon pails. As a "Direct Receiver" their strongest attribute, after quality is their ability to provide availability fifty-two weeks a year. Their product list includes: ½ Sour, ¾ Sour & Sour Pickles, Pickled Tomatoes, Sweet Pickle Chips, Sauerkraut, Relish, Giardiniera, Sliced Hot Cherry Peppers, Pepperoncini, Marinated Mushrooms, Sweet Red Peppers plus Green & Calamata Olives.
