For years, friends and family looked forward to Greg's homemade pickles every summer. They weren't asking for just any pickles—they were asking for his great-grandma's recipe. When it came time to share those pickles with the world, Greg spent nearly nine months making sure every jar tasted just like the ones that inspired people to say, "You should sell these!"

Conversations with our customers have inspired some of our favorite products. Our customers showed us the many ways they enjoyed our original pickles, inspiring us to create products like our bottled pickle juice and Ultimate Mary Mix. What began as one family's tradition continues to grow with every conversation, every new idea, and every family that welcomes Tru Pickles to their table. We never know where the next conversation might take us.

Greg started Tru Pickles because he loved sharing his family's recipe with the people he cared about. Their encouragement inspired him to share it with even more families. Today, some of our favorite stories come from customers bringing Tru Pickles to family dinners, backyard barbecues, holidays, and picnics—or giving a jar as a gift with the words, "You've got to try these!" It's an honor to see one family's tradition become part of so many others, creating new traditions while staying true to the one that started it all.

Greg always says his great-grandma didn't need artificial ingredients, so why should we? Her recipe came from a simpler time, when good food was made with simple ingredients and shared with the people you loved. We still make our pickles with that same philosophy today—because some traditions are worth preserving, and every jar has the chance to bring back a cherished memory—or create a brand-new one. After all, when you've got a pickle that good, why mess with a good thing?
