National Pickling Cucumber Seeds (Organic)
National Pickling Cucumber is a reliable and productive variety, perfect for gardeners who love making homemade pickles. The short, blocky fruit grows to about 4-6 inches long, with tender green skin and firm, crisp flesh. This cucumber’s mild, refreshing flavor makes it equally well-suited for fresh eating or slicing into salads. Thriving in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, National Pickling Cucumbers mature in just 50-55 days, offering an early and continuous harvest. The plants are vigorous and disease-resistant, ensuring healthy growth and high yields throughout the season. This variety performs well in both garden beds and containers and benefits from trellising to save space and improve airflow. Regular harvesting encourages further production, providing a steady supply of fruit for your kitchen. Whether you’re making crunchy dill pickles or enjoying them fresh from the vine, National Pickling Cucumber is a versatile and rewarding addition to any garden.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
