I prefer to eat locally grown foods and all my life I have purchased Nalley pickles for that reason (and they were good!). I am absolutely stunned to learn that they are now being outsourced and our local farmers are left with a broken contract. If I want exotic food only grown in India, then I will buy a product of India. But pickles?? I will no longer purchase any Bay Valley Foods (owner of Nalley) pickles that are a Product of India. Our economic system is seriously broken.

Oh man, the thrill (and smell) are gone. I believe they closed the pickling plant in the '90's.
Remember all the vats? It used to smell like pickles over there. It hasn't for a long time.
Too bad. Same thing with the chili. And I think, potato chips.
[A lot of students used to harvest pickles at farms in the Puyallup Valley during the summer. Paid by the bucket - brought to the farm in an old school bus. You only had to be twelve to work a full eight. Character builder and $10/ day. Good money for an 8th-grader back in the '70's]
Farman's also.

I can't believe that the pickles will be coming from India! I don't understand how shipping pickles all that way can possibly be a cost savings to the company. It certainly isn't of any benefit to the environment after figuring in the carbon footprint the shipping creates.

Please everyone stop buying the pickles and then this will stop. Every pickle is coming from India. The yeast is coming from Mexico and so is most of our candy. I repeat DO NOT BUY this stuff from these countrys. This is only the start of NAFTA. Also why does Bush not do anything about the high price of gas. The oil companys and engineers are making mega dollars....

Until she got a job at the Penney's store at the mall. We lived in oakland just up the hill from Nalley's. Boy did that plant smell. It was either pickles or chips that we smelled. To this day, I cannot eat a pickle. Too bad they have to outsource everything. They were a major local employer at one time.

Bay Valley Foods does not own Nalleys. They produce foods with the Nalley brand for nalley,and others. So they are a sub contracter per say. Nalleys also has other sub contactor companies that produce foods for them. Nalleys is owned by birdseye foods
