According to Pickle Packers International, Americans consume more than 9 pounds of pickles per person annually. It’s a statistic I can believe as I alternate between Liv Sain’s pickles — rosemary and classic sweet — before 7 a.m. on a Monday. I am not generally a sweet pickle fan, but Sain’s pickles are different. They’re lightly sweet. In fact, both varieties could almost pass for my beloved .
Olivia Sain has been a fan of pickles for a while and began making them at home for fun. But, four months ago, she opened her own business and started selling them at local farmers markets around town.
