Our Journey

Started two decades ago in a one-bedroom apartment kitchen in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, with fresh produce sourced from the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket.

Phase 1 (2004–2009)

Our products gained recognition when we won Best in Show at the Rosendale International Pickle Festival, leading us to launch Rick’s Picks at the NYC farmer’s market in 2004. Over the next several years, we partnered with Whole Foods and opened our first retail location to establish ourselves as a national brand.

We became known for savory, hand-packed, all-natural pickles made in season with produce from trusted local farmers. Our innovative pickles, with exceptional quality, distinctive flavor profiles, and mouth-watering appeal, won numerous industry awards.

Phase 2 (2009–2019)

We expanded into food service, enhanced retail market penetration, extended our product line, and grew our distribution channels.

Phase 3 (2019–2023)

We launched our on-the-go Snack Packs and bite-sized potato chip flavored jars collection and expanded our online platform.

Today at Rick’s Picks, we craft specialty pickles sourced from around the world for those who value the traditions of home canning and the spirit of innovation — while seeking a healthy snacking alternative for both kids and adults.

Thank you for giving us a try!
