Our pickles have been featured in Southern Living, Bon Appétit, and The Post & Courier, among others . We didn’t set out to gain this recognition, but a small team dedicated to doing things the slow, traditional way often attracts attention. We remain based in Charleston, SC, continue to use the same spice recipe that was perfected in 1990, and are committed to the belief that the best pickles are the ones you make yourself.

Over Thirty-Five Years

• 1970: Jack Kahn founded Jack’s Pickleworks on a traditional pickle recipe with no cooking, no shortcuts.
• 1990: Alexis Kong-Van De Wiel and Nora join, and Pickle It Up reaches Charleston’s farmers markets with an improved All natural, healthful product.
• Today: That same recipe ships nationwide as an easy-to-use homemade fermentation kit, so anyone can buy our pickle kit online and start their first jar this week.
