About The Pickle Patch
MEMBER SINCE 2014
At the Pickle Patch everyone loves their job! The sheep keep the pastures under control, the llamas watch out for predators, the pigs plough the fields, the chickens scratch the soil looking for insects and weed seeds and everyone fertilizes!
Hops, cucumbers, vegetables and herbs are grown and harvested for beer-making, sausages and pickles.
These industrious animals, born and raised at Pickle Patch, are rewarded with tasty special treats like spent grains from Beau’s Brewery in Vankleek Hill, whey from Glengarry Fine Cheese, garden trimmings and apples in the fall, along with certified organic grain, hay and straw.
New project this year-we will be planting chestnut, hazelnut and Korean Pine trees eventually harvesting nut treats.
