At Summer Fresh, great food has always started with a simple idea: real ingredients thoughtfully prepared, and rooted in tradition. Our Pickled Veggies bring that belief to life in a bold new way.
Made in small batches with high-quality ingredients, they honour traditional methods and deliver the kind of bold flavour that makes everyday meals worth sitting down for.
In 1991, Susan started Summer Fresh in her kitchen alongside her mother and sister. Family recipes. Real ingredients. A genuine love for creating food worth sharing. What began as a small batch of hummus has grown into one of Canada's most trusted fresh food brands with over 85 products, including hummus, dips, dressings, salads, snacks, and meals.
Guided by Susan's Food is Fashion™ philosophy, we believe food should be as exciting as it is nourishing. An expression of creativity, culture, and individuality.
At Summer Fresh, we have always had something new simmering. Now, something pickling too.
Growing up in a European household, our founder, Susan Niczowski, knew what it meant for food to bring people together. Family gatherings were filled with the unmistakable aroma of homemade pickled vegetables, recipes passed down through generations, and enjoyed at every table. Those early memories sparked a lifelong passion for creating food that is both meaningful and delicious.
Even at four years old, Susan was often found in the garden picking green tomatoes and heading straight to the barbecue to cook them up. She always had some kind of concoction going. That instinct for flavour never left her.
Apple cider vinegar is not just what makes it taste this good. Naturally rich in probiotics, vitamins A and K, antioxidants, and fibre, it supports digestive health, helps regulate blood sugar, and aids in hydration.
Bold flavour with benefits your body will notice. One of the intentional choices we make at Summer Fresh to keep you eating, feeling, and living well.
