Pickle me this or pickle me that – pickled cucumbers, cabbage, plums and more have been mainstays in diets across the globe.
It’s a fermentable, universal practice and, for about two hours Thursday, it was the focus of a special workshop in Northampton.
The event – an annual “Pickle Party” - was put on by Abundance Farm in Northampton, a group devoted to food justice and part of Congregation B'nai Israel.
Senior Rabbi Louis Polisson says while he has only helmed it for about a month, he said it’s a special community and campus, complete with Abundance Farm and the partnerships and mission it focuses on.
“Abundance Farm does give fresh produce to the survival center - the Northampton Survival Center right next door - a beautiful partnership there,” he said.
