Blue Ridge Pickling LLC was founded by Francesca Campbell, a lawyer, and her fiancé, Dane Brennan, a Georgetown University graduate, both of whom are passionate food artisans with a shared vision for creating wholesome, flavorful, and sustainable pickled products. Francesca’s journey to better health through natural, brined foods inspired the couple to bring the benefits of clean, additive-free pickling to others. Rooted in Northern Virginia, they built Blue Ridge Pickling on the principles of quality, sustainability, and community. Each jar is crafted from locally sourced ingredients and brined in glass—never plastic—to preserve freshness and protect the planet.

Guided by her father’s legacy of hard work and community involvement, Francesca, along with Dane, has made it a mission to support local farmers and small businesses. Together, they bring complementary strengths to Blue Ridge Pickling, leading with a collaborative spirit and a deep commitment to making a positive impact. Blue Ridge Pickling proudly offers unique products like OG Dill, Chesapeake (Old Bay) pickles, Habanero Pickles, Candied Jalapeños, and the popular Old Bay Brine-Based Bloody Mary Mix. Through these products, Francesca and Dane aim to bring the fresh flavors of Virginia to homes across the country while giving back to the community that inspired their journey
