VIP Exclusive! 🥚✨
We are officially slicing and serving our fresh Pickled Eggs live on-site for the early VIP ticket holders at Picklefest™!

We source our premium eggs directly from Springford Farm, pickling them in small batches with jalapeño, fresh herbs, and whole spices. The result is a beautifully tender egg white with a remarkably rich, velvety, and creamy yolk that completely redefines traditional preservation.

How to enjoy them:
These are built for pure culinary fun. Slice them thick over fresh backyard summer salad greens, balance them onto rustic whole-grain crackers with fresh dill for an effortless patio appetizer, or simply enjoy them whole alongside an ice-cold craft beer at Phillips Brewing Co..

Victoria ticket holders, the countdown is on!
Come find the Pickle Shack early on August 15th to grab a fresh slice before we sell out! 🥒🍻

Crafted by hand. Never rushed.

There is a simple reason our signature Hot Dilled Beans have earned a legendary reputation across Vancouver Island over the decades. It comes down to real-food preservation, local fields, and uncompromised kitchen craftsmanship. Every single jar that comes off our counter is built with intention.
We start with a hand-selected bed of aromatic garlic cloves and fiery chili flakes, pairing them with a bold, dill-forward flavour profile that includes our secret mix of whole spices. Each crisp green bean is then packed tightly by weight into the glass.
While our local retail shelves are currently waiting on the next warehouse cure, we have tucked away an exclusive, private reserve of freshly cured cases specifically for the big tour stop at Phillips Brewing Co. on August 15th for the sold event Picklefest™!
How to enjoy them: No complicated recipes required. These fiery spears are best enjoyed ice-cold, snapped straight out of the jar while walking the festival grounds, or stood tall to elevate your weekend backyard Caesar. Ticket holders, come find the Pickle Shack early to secure your jars of these tasty morsels before the crates are cleared out! 🥒🍻

Feeding our community starts with the soil. ☀️Gathering this week's kitchen supplies brings a profound appreciation for our local Vancouver Island farmers. These hard-working neighbors are the true stewards of our regional land, dedicating their long summer days to cultivating clean, exceptional crops that feed our families.

Decades ago, Catie's was founded on a simple commitment to real-food preservation and regional food security. That core belief hasn't changed. Looking out at these freshly snapped garlic scapes, crisp cauliflower, deep red rhubarb, sweet strawberries, raspberries, and blue-bloom berries is a vivid reminder of how fortunate the kitchen is to have direct access to the absolute finest harvest on the coast.

Preserving the past means protecting our agricultural future. Supporting local artisan jars means directly supporting the resilient mid-island fields and farm families that keep our community self-sustaining.

Fresh from the garden: The garlic scapes have completely taken over! 🧄🌿✨

Our kitchen is officially overflowing with fresh, curly garlic scapes, which can only mean one thing—our seasonal White Bean & Garlic Scape Dip is officially on the shelves for the weekend!

Garlic scape season is incredibly short, making this velvety, vibrant dip a true summer delicacy. We blend creamy cannellini beans with rich olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a generous amount of chopped local scapes for a tasty mild garlic crunch.

A Quick Weekend Idea:
It is the ultimate shortcut for your weekend hosting. Spread it onto a platter, drizzle it with good olive oil, and serve alongside hearty seed crackers and crisp garden veggies. It’s light, fresh, and tastes like summer on the coast. 🥂
