Their personal journey to better health through naturally brined foods inspired them to bring clean, nutritious, additive-free pickling to everyone. Rooted in Northern Virginia, they built Blue Ridge Pickling on the principles of quality, sustainability, and community. Every jar is crafted from locally sourced ingredients and brined in glass—never plastic—to preserve freshness and protect the planet.

With a strong commitment to local farmers, small businesses, and fellow food creators, Francesca and Dane actively support the people who make Virginia’s food scene special. Together they bring complementary strengths and a collaborative spirit to everything they do, focusing on positive impact. Blue Ridge proudly offers unique products like OG Dill, Chesapeake (Old Bay) Pickles, Habanero Pickles, Candied Jalapeños, and their best-selling Old Bay Brine-Based Bloody Mary Mix. Through these flavors, Francesca and Dane deliver the freshest taste of Virginia to homes across the country while giving back to the communities that inspired their journey.
