W.D. Huffman and the Indianapolis Pickle Industry


Listen Later

The tradition of hanging a pickle ornament on Christmas trees inspired this podcast about the W.D. Huffman Pickle Company, which operated on St. Clair Street near downtown Indianapolis. The company produced a variety of food items beyond their top billed product, and at times had run ins with state health authorities with concerns about the purity of the products they produced.
