## About our pickling cucumbers

Cucumbers are a bit of a thing for us, and our pickling cucumbers are our #1 seller. We grow them for firmness and crunch — picked young and small so they stay crisp through the brine and fit neatly in the jar. They are the foundation of a great dill pickle, whether you like them whole, in spears, or sliced into rounds.

For the best results, pair them with our [award-winning Red Russian garlic](https://valleyviewfarm.ca/farm-goods/garlic) and fresh-cut dill. We grow all three, so you can put up a batch of classic garlic dill pickles from a single farm.

## Grown on the Saanich Peninsula

Valley View Farm is in Saanichton, on the Saanich Peninsula — minutes from Sidney and a short drive from Victoria. Our cucumbers are trellised to grow straight and clean, and like everything at Valley View Farm they are grown pesticide-free with a minimum of off-farm inputs.

Cucumbers come on fast in the heat of summer. Pre-orders open ahead of the harvest, which typically starts in mid-August. Availability is seasonal and quantities are limited, so we recommend [ordering](https://valleyviewfarm.ca/contact) early.

## Buy local

We sell directly to local customers across Greater Victoria and Southern Vancouver Island. Cucumbers are picked fresh when you order — not shipped from distant warehouses — so they reach your kitchen at their crisp best for pickling.

Place your order through our [contact form](https://valleyviewfarm.ca/contact). We will confirm availability and arrange pickup details. Discounts are available on larger orders, so let us know how many pounds you need for your canning season.
