While this store sells great gifts, pottery, candles and more, the real treasure is back by the register. It’s a wall of pickles. Packaged in Ball jars with a paper tag held on by twine, these are some of the best homemade pickles you’ll ever taste. Besides delicious dills, there are spicy pickles, pickled green beans, garlic, asparagus, salsas and more. Now you understand why the sign out front says “Home of the Blue Ribbon Pickle.” The very friendly owner (locally known simply as “The Pickle Lady” makes all of these the pickles herself. When I was in this area a few years ago, I found myself lugging a heavy bag of pickle jars around with me. This visit was no different. Even in subzero temperatures, it was worth it! It’s hard not to buy one of everything. For those who don’t want to carry many jars of pickles up and down the hills of Jim Thorpe, she told me she also ships. I hope to take her up on that offer. I just wish she had a website instead of having to call.

Purchased one jar of the dill pickles and one jar of blackberry jam just to see what the fuss was about. Our reaction was...as soon as we returned home, all but two pickle slices were left in the jar. The blackberry jam on our bagels the following morning was a slice of heaven. Please visit these folks or give them a holler to ship you some really tasty jam and pickles that will make your day.

Came to Jim Thorpe for a day of fall foliage and shopping. Was followed out of country cottage by a male employee and accused of stealing!!!!!!!!! STEALING!!! Made a fool of him when I pointed out the item he accused me of taking was on a table right in front of him. No apology. Disgusting.
