Both types of pickles are made from cucumbers.
The difference is in how you prepare the cucumbers.

You listed some of the reasons I never did it. I eat some dills on hamburger but don't really care for the sweet pickles sliced but use a bunch of sweet pickle relish on hot dogs, potato salad and deviled eggs. Grocery store has plenty and I like a variety and not a crock full of the same recipe.
yeah here's the thing jethro, actual pickles are fermented, with brine in a process that can take 3 months to a year, quick pickles which are brined while fresh under refrigeration (think vlasic pickles) must remain refrigerated that's why you buy them in your grocers refrigerated section.

I'm afraid that I didn't.
Apologies on that one
Edit- yes, I now see the post you made right above this one.

I addressed that earlier in the thread.
It was my mistake.

Living in the Ozarks has its advantages. Very little blue stupidity here. I grow plenty of cucumbers and green beans. I don’t sell them, but our little town has farmers markets and are left alone by the authorities.

My airman bud was from Sunrise Beach? Went once to his home town. Ozarks are beautiful.

I love home grown pickles. They taste much better than the ones sold at grocery stores.

I have neen in the commercial produce business for over 2 decades and Google may be theoretically correct, but I am certain of what is and isn't enforced.

Respectfully, if you are a professional, how would you know what the rules are for amateurs?

It's been many, many years since I've been down to your area. I'd love to go back down, maybe even retire down there.
Used to have 2 different cousins with lakeside properties. I vaguely remember "floating rest stops" out on the lakes. Is that still a thing?
Another thing I remember, was something I'd never tried or heard of before. Sweet, very crunchy corn. Corn cut from the cob and left in the sun.

Most vlasic pickles are stored on an unrefrigerated shelf. Because they were pickled, not fermented. In fact most are.
You have never made pickles and you know not what you speak. You did a quick internet search, and posted it.
Most pickles are pickled, not fermented. Pickles are literally named after the process that makes them.

Not totally true. Alabama is strict on certain things like growing strawberries commercially. If the state inspector finds animal (rabbits, deer) feces in the field they can fine you and shut you down.

Well, I guess thats a good question. But, when I started out growing produce, it was just my brother and I, and a 10x10 tent from Academy sitting by the road. It was a side gig. But, we now sell to major distributors, albeit, still a side gig for us. Nobody has ever fricked with us about anything mentioned in the op was my point

It is the value added process that you're missing. They're not going to mess with — because cottage food laws don't apply to them — truck patch type people. You can sell as much homegrown produce as you want and never have an issue with any law. When you take that produce and turn it into jams, jellies, jam, pickles, any baked good that requires refrigeration, etc. you 100% do have laws you have to follow. You have to have a food safety certification and it has to be renewed every three years. You have to label everything with your name and address and a complete ingredients list.
Are they going to hassle everyone not doing that? No. Will they if an issue arises or complaints are filed? Yes. If you're going to sell value added products you'd be a true idiot to not follow those guidelines because you would be opening yourself up to a boatload of legal issues if you get someone sick or your product has nuts and some kid eats a fried pie that was cross contaminated and has trouble.
That's why cottage food laws are a thing, not for jamminf up Billy and Martha for selling baskets of okra down at the 4-way on the weekend.

Nobody wants deer doodoo in their strawberries.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. I don’t think I’ve seen floating rest stops in a long while, but maybe in some places. Crunchy corn is still a thing though
