About Us | Your source for easy homemade pickles
At Great Lakes Pickling Company, we believe homemade pickles should be simple, flavorful, and fun. Founded in Michigan by Beverly Patterson and her love for crisp, crunchy pickles, our journey began with one recipe and has grown into a full line of easy-to-use pickling pouches that let anyone make deli-style pickles at home. Today, we’re proud to bring customers all-natural pickling seasonings, creative recipes, and inspiration to keep the tradition of fresh pickling alive.
Why We Love What We Do: A Pickle Story
Pickling has a long history in the Great Lakes region, where families once relied on barrels and crocks to preserve vegetables. Those pickles were tasty, but often lacked variety and quality control. We wanted to change that. With our clean-label pickling mixes, you get the nostalgia of homemade pickles with the confidence of high-quality ingredients and fresh flavor in every bite.
As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Hunger is the best pickle.” We couldn’t agree more!

Our customers love that they can make restaurant-quality pickles right at home. Every Easy-to-Make Pickling Pouch is made with all-natural, preservative-free spices—and because you choose the vegetables, vinegar, and water, you stay in control of what goes into your pouch. It’s the easiest way to enjoy crunchy pickles, unique flavors, and healthier snacking.
Simple. Fresh. Delicious.
Making pickles has never been easier. Just add your favorite vegetables to one of our pickling pouches, pour in vinegar and water, and in as little as three days you’ll be enjoying crisp, flavorful pickles. From classic dill to bold Bloody Mary flavor, we make it simple for everyone: from home cooks to seasoned foodies, we all can pickle like a pro.
