Big Don's Pickles will be at the E. Vancouver Farmers Market on May 17, May 24 and May 31, 2008. These will be the final markets for "Big Don".
Many thanks and much love to all his wonderful friends that supported Big Don's Pickles for soooooo many years.
Big Don will be putting his receipe for Dill Pickles on this page in a few weeks so that you can continue to make and enjoy them.
'Big Don', also known as Don Schultz, got his first taste of pickling growing up on a farm just outside Bruderheim Alberta. Each summer on the farm, Don and his family canned forty quarts of every vegetable they grew.
He continued his foray into the art of pickling in the early seventies with his late wife's aunt, best known as 'Auntie K.O.' Auntie brought all her original recipes from the old country and some are the basis of Don's recipes today.
He got his start in the pickle business as a way of raising funds for the annual South Arm United Church Fall Fair; he still donates all the profits from his booth to them every year.
Don lives in Tsawassen, BC and can often be found selling pickles at the seasonal Trout Lake and Coquitlam Community Markets.
