Pickled Crispy Carrots by Tillen Farms Recommended by Whom You Know!
Tillen Farms just keeps them coming. Pickled Crispy Carrots is my new favorite edition to any salad. I do not have to use as much salad dressing which keeps my calories down as the carrots have so much flavor that enhances the other ingredients. Also great in a martini with an olive popped on top. Perfect presentation. Watch out, once you have popped one in your mouth, say goodbye to the whole jar.
Ever since I was a kid carrots have been a favorite snack. I love their beautiful orange color, and the snap they make when you bite into them. Tillen Farms preserves both the color and crisp of fresh carrots and has pickled them using all natural ingredients. The great minds at Tillen Farms also suggest arranging the carrots with cut celery stalks filled with cream cheese and date spread. This is a phenomenal idea for an appetizer! Your guests will be so impressed! It's perfect party food!
We love Tillen Farms Crispy Carrots. Fresh and flavorful. These crunchy carrots are great for appetizers, salads, wraps, and drinks. Low calorie and ever so tasty, their possibilities are endless. We also love that Tillen Farms takes pride in their process from the picking, to the jarring these Crispy Carrots are handled with care and love, and you can absolutely taste that difference. Tillen Farms Veggies are "picked at the peak of perfection" and we agree. We especially loved them in our Bloody Mary. You should try some today, we promise you won't be disappointed.
I've never gone out of my way to eat carrots. Mind you, I don't dislike them with the same vehemence that I dislike, say, brussel sprouts. Nonetheless, I really just never eat them unless I have to. Well, thanks to the amazing minds over at Tillen Farms, I am now going out of my way to eat carrots! Their Pickled Crispy Carrots are downright delicious! Crispy, sweet, and savory at the same time, these carrots are perfect for a mid-day snack but would also be great in salads or sandwiches for a little added crunch and zest. Added bonus - they're low-cal, fat-free, and cholesterol-free, so you can snack with abandon!

When we began offering carrots a few years ago, we had our skeptics. Who would buy carrots at this price when they're available raw by the pound? Since their introduction, Tillen Farms Crispy Carrots have become one of the most popular products, especially with children! They're healthy, great tasting and of course, very crisp. For best results refrigerate before serving.
Mix Crunchy Carrots and Snappers into potato salad for extra zing!
Serve chilled on a platter with other Tillen Farms selections for delicious and healthy hors d'oeuvres.

About Tillen Farms
Tim and Helen Metzger have created Tillen Farms to continue a delicious tradition first begun by the Hogue family over forty years ago in the fertile, volcanic soil of the Yakima Valley of Washington State. From this rich soil, irrigated by pure river water running down the Cascade Mountains, come some of America's finest vegetables and fruits.
In 1987, Tim met and began working with Gary Hogue who along with his brother Mike, had a small canning operation near their Hogue Cellars winery that had been started years earlier. Tim had a background in specialty foods and was engaged as Hogue’s national sales agent to expand the veggie business while Gary and Mike grew their award-winning Hogue Cellars wine label. This relationship developed over 15 years. In late 2001, The Hogue Cellars announced plans to sell the business to Vincor, Canada’s largest wine distributor and owners of many impressive labels including: Inniskillin, RH Phillips and Toasted Head.) Realizing that the Hogue Farms brand didn't fit into their long term strategy, Vincor offered Tim the opportunity to purchase the business with the understanding he would eventually change the label. Tim agreed and founded Metzger Specialty Brands in late 2002. The new brand name, Tillen Farms, was introduced to the trade in early 2004 and continues the great tradition of the Hogue Farms pickled vegetable line. While new varieties have since been added, all the original recipes, packing facility and commitment to excellence remain the same as before.
Lots of folks have asked about the origin of the new Tillen Farms brand name. When faced with the unenviable task of changing a brand name that had been in the market for 20 years, Tim and Helen pondered over it for months. They conducted formal and informal focus groups and perused detailed maps of the Yakima Valley, searching for a name that would reflect the quality and simplicity of the product, the "family" nature of the business, and that tilling the soil is an honorable profession. Tim and Helen's talented packaging designer and friend, Betty Slater, said, "since you're doing this business with the support of your family, take your initials and put them together." Over lunch, she took the first 2 letters from (Ti)m, 2 letters from daughter Ji(ll)'s name, and 2 letters from Hel(en), to create "Tillen". Thanks, Betty!
