Overview
Solly Beiler is a pickling cucumber with a story: it was developed in the 1930s in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, by Solomon Beiler, who was a bishop of the Beachy Amish Mennonite community. Thumb-sized fruit makes the finest pickles, but the cucumbers stay crisp and mild even when they grow larger, so a missed harvest is not wasted. Pick frequently for a steady supply of small fruit.
