Great Scott's Kirby Cucumbers

Kirby cucumbers, often referred to as pickling cucumbers, are known for their thin skin and smaller sizes - anywhere from 3 - 6 inches.  Kirby's are milder than regular cucumbers and people often find them easier to digest.  Their thin skins make them the ideal cucumber to use for pickling so that the brine is more easily absorbed and that is the reason you will find them unwaxed.    Also a great tasting cucumber, Kirbys have become a popular choice for use in salads and other recipes that call for fresh cucumbers.   At Long & Scott, we've been growing Kirbys for over 40 years and our "pickles" can be found  in major terminal markets throughout the country and are bottled by Claussen Pickle Co., United Pickle Products, Mt. Olive Pickles, Puckered Pickle, Chipico/Vienna Beef, Strub Bro's, and many mom-and-pop companies in the Northeast and Chicago. 

There are two seasons for Kirbys at Long & Scott - April & May in the Spring and September through November in the Fall.
