Since 2012, McVicker Pickles has been making top-notch pickles, mustards and preserves for the San Francisco Bay Area. Born and raised in Kansas, founder Kelly McVicker makes updated versions of time-tested recipes, mixing things up while never losing sight of what makes the classics tick. (We could throw around a bunch of buzzwords like artisanal, hand-crafted, bespoke, small-batch -- but ugh, so hacky, right?)

In addition to making pickles, mustards, and jams, Kelly is committed to finding fun and interactive ways to show people how to do it for themselves. She is a certified Master Food Preserver, and teaches classes on pickling, canning and other food preservation techniques.
