The Pickle Mama

Bold flavours, small batches

The Pickle Mama is a small-batch, artisan preserves business based in Durham, Ontario, founded and operated by a passionate local maker and mother of two. Built from a love of canning with her grandmother, creativity, and quality food, The Pickle Mama specializes in handcrafted pickled goods, preserves, and baked items made with care and a strong connection to local ingredients.

At the heart of the business is a commitment to small-batch production. Each product is carefully prepared in limited quantities to ensure freshness, consistency, and bold, memorable flavour. Signature offerings include gourmet pickled eggs in bold flavours such as Garlic Dill, Hot Honey, and Caesar, alongside a rotating seasonal lineup of the signature dill pickles, pickled vegetables, jams, relishes, and more.

The Pickle Mama prioritizes sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible, supporting nearby farms and producers while celebrating the flavours of each season. This approach not only enhances quality but also strengthens ties within the local community.

More than just a food business, The Pickle Mama represents a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, family, and craftsmanship. As a mother-run operation, the brand is built around balancing entrepreneurship with family life—creating a business that allows for both meaningful work and presence at
home.

Products are available through select local farm stores and markets, with a growing wholesale presence among small retailers who value high-quality, locally made goods. With an emphasis on authenticity, transparency, and connection, The Pickle Mama continues to grow while staying true to its small-scale, hands-on roots.
