Great idea to give to a food pantry or tell all of your friends to come and get them. Wish you lived near me. I have to buy them since I can't do a garden any more.
Here's an idea for you ... my sister buys them in the winter when they are selling them cheap and does her pickles then. Likewise she'll do pickles with English Cucumbers when on sale.
She still has a huge garden, and preserves lots in the summer though her time is limited with the farm field work being priority! By winter, she's got more time to do the work ... and picks up the bargains.
