My name is Laraina, and I am a fourth generation canner. I started canning while working at a restaurant in Nederland, CO. The restaurant used a variety of pickled veggies in their Bloody Marys. One summer, my dad was out to visit and we started talking about our family history of making pickles. The owner of the restaurant got involved and asked if we could make some pickles for the restaurant. I accepted the challenge and produced a pickle that we added to the famous Bloody Mary we served.

People started really enjoying the new addition to the Bloody Marys, and began asking if they could purchase more from me. This is how Mountain Girl Pickles was born! In 2014, I started making more pickles, and added other great pickled vegetables to my line up such as Pickled Okra (my favorite), Pickled Green Beans, Pickled Garlic, Pickled Asparagus, Corn Relish, Pickled Brussel Sprouts, and Pickled Beets.
