Nicole and Chris’s journey spans Texas, New Jersey, and now Powder Springs, Georgia—shaped by a shared love of travel, cooking, and growing their own food. Nicole’s lupus diagnosis became a turning point, deepening her focus on personal health and leading her to explore live, unfiltered vinegars as a way to support wellness without sacrificing flavor.

​

Chris, despite famously hating pickles, unknowingly helped shape the brand by pushing Nicole to create a better pickle brine—revealing a simple truth: great brine starts with exceptional vinegar. A passionate home cook and proud fermentation nerd, Nicole spends countless hours developing new recipes, experimenting with live vinegar, and creating bold new flavors with The Tickled Pickler’s signature spices.

With fruit trees, herbs, and vegetables growing right in their backyard, every small batch reflects their commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship, vibrant flavor, and real-world wellness.
