Ralph Sechler & Son, Inc.

St. Joe, IN
For all the technical advances in food processing in recent years, many of our processes have changed little or not at all. We avoid any shortcuts that might detract from the quality of our pickles.

Farmers from across northern Indiana, northwest Ohio and Southern Michigan bring us their freshly picked cucumbers straight from the fields. They are immediately "graded", that is, sorted into seven sizes. From there most will go to tanks for curing. The tanks, mostly of cypress, contain a salt brine solution in which the cucumbers will be transformed into pickles over a period of three months or longer. We're best known for our many varieties of processed pickles.

Those cucumbers that don't go immediately to the tanks become "fresh pack"...Click here for more details...
Sechler's Pickles, Inc.

St.Joe, IN
The origins of Ralph Sechler & Son, Inc. date back 85 years to 1914, just before the First World War. Ralph Sechler actually got his start in the pickle business running a pickle station in St. Joe, Indiana for the D. M. Sears Company. He'd deliver "brine stock" (freshly picked cucumbers in salt brine) by horse-drawn wagon to a railroad siding in nearby St. Joe, Indiana, where it would be transported by rail to Sears, 20 miles away in Ft. Wayne.
After a respite from the business in college and the Army, Ralph went back to work for Sears in 1919. Two years later he leased two of their pickle stations, getting his start as an entrepreneur. He was still shipping the brine stock to other companies like Heinz. By the early '30s Ralph was selli...Click here for more details...

Swissland Cheese

Berne, IN
Since our inception in 1982, we have provided a market for the local Amish milk supply. With the changing times and nature of milk prices it became apparent that we needed to expand our business. Making our own cheese was the most logical course to follow.

Variety and a standard of excellence are our goals. Many of our cheeses are handmade in the Old World tradition in small batches. With 32 different types and flavors we've got the variety covered. Repeat customers and word of mouth speak to the quality of our products.
