It is always up to the discretion of the driver, but you can add a note to the package that requests FedEx to leave the package on the first attempt with no signature. If your driver usually leaves your packages without a signature, chances are that he or she will probably leave your package. If your driver usually requires a signature, he or she will probably require a signature with this package as well. Another option is Saturday delivery, which is $25.00 over the cost of ground shipping.

We make the pickles in the Hudson Valley of NY and in Lancaster County, PA. Rick’s Picks is headquartered in the historic pickle district of the Lower East Side in Manhattan. We share the neighborhood with gastronomic temples such as Katz’s Deli, Russ and Daughters and Yonah Schimmel’s.

The old-fashioned way. We make our pickles in the style of home-canning using only locally grown produce. We work with many of the farmers at the Greenmarket to source the freshest vegetables around, and create vinegar-based brines using premium, non-irridated spices. They are made in small batches with Rick himself overseeing production.

Our pickles are best eaten within 1 year of purchase. Store them unopened in a cool, dry place; it’s best to chill them in the fridge before eating them. Once opened, they will last in the fridge for 6 months. We encourage you to use up the brine after you’re done with the pickles. Click here for serving suggestions.

We use the finest ingredients and the highest quality produce to make our artisanal pickles. Our vegetables come from local farmers who use traditional farming methods to yield fresher, better tasting produce. Our pickles are all natural, and we do not use any preservatives. Also, in order to maintain high quality standards, we carefully monitor a trained staff who individually hand-pack each jar. It is a time-consuming process.

Local means that the produce, manufacturing and final selling location occur within a 250 mile radius of NYC. Therefore, our pickles are considered “local” in the Northeast.

No, we use all natural ingredients, and always will!

We use some organic ingredients such as organic raisins. We use locally grown produce that is not organic. We are working towards using locally grown organic produce in the next two or three years.

We produce our pickles in a facility that processes nuts, dairy, eggs, and wheat.

We have eight varieties that meet the FDA’s requirements for low sodium per serving: Phat Beets, Spears of Influence, Green Tomato Condiment, Slices of Life, Kool Gherks, Bee ‘n’ Beez, Pepi Pep Peps, and WhupAsp. Our products have less sodium compared to the conventional varieties, including the ones that do not meet FDA standards. Please go to the individual pickle pages for nutritional information.

We have seven varieties that meet the FDA’s requirements for low sugar per serving: Windy City Wasabeans, Spears of Influence, Mean Beans, Slices of Life, Kool Gherks, Smokra, and WhupAsp. All our products have contain very little sugar; in most cases it is added to accentuate the natural sweetness of the vegetables. Please go to the individual pickle pages for nutritional information.

The finished product is not Kosher certified, but we are working towards that goal.

All our products are vegan.

No. Our products are cooked in brines with temperatures that exceed what is deemed as a “raw” product (98 – 103 degrees).

All our pickles are delicious eaten right out of the jar as a healthy snack or paired with savory items such as cheeses and charcuterie. You can use the brine from several varieties to dirty a martini or add a dash of lip-smacking heat to bloody marys. For some delightful pairing suggestions and quick, tasty hors d’ouerve, please click here.

Absolutely! We use fresh vegetables, which are packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Vinegar is known to aid the digestive system. And we use a minimum of salt and sugar to allow the fresh taste of the vegetables to really shine through.
