For 100 years, little has changed since Ralph Sechler established the company just outside of St. Joe.
According to its website, sechlerspickles.com, the company said many of its processes of making pickles have changed very little, if at all.
Today, the business offers more than 50 varieties of pickles and salsa.
In addition to the factory and showroom at St. Joe, Sechlerâs also operates an outlet store in Fremont. While plant tours and tastings are not available due to COVID-19 restrictions, visitors can still buy pickles, showroom manager Kathy Pearson said.
While other companies have switched to high-fructose corn syrup, sugar continues to be a key ingredient in the Sechlerâs sweetening process, owner Max Troyer explained.
