Craft small batch hot sauce maker.

Bonus sauce drop for the week! We did a small experimental batch with fermented Ghost and Jalapeños, olives, tomato, carrot and pickles.

🧨 A ton of flavor with the savory tomatoes and tang of the olives, you add the pickles into the mix and it’s on. A little bit of 👻 Ghost Pepper and a little bit more of some 🌶️ red jalapeño for the heat 🔥 . Absolutely delicious and the perfect addition to that football Sunday Bloody Mary!
🔥 level is a 5 out of 10
This was a super small batch so grab 1 before they’re gone. Don’t forget you can catch us tomorrow at Four Mile Elementary from 10-3 for the Creepin’ it local PTA show!

The Kraken is back 🐙. This years batch of the best verde around is now available. Serrano and Reaper peppers supply the heat with cilantro, onion, garlic, peppercorns and lime added for a flavor packed verde hot sauce.
🔥 level 6.5 out of 10

Stop by Four Mile Elementary this Saturday to stock up on your favorite sauces! We attended this show last fall and it was one of our favorite. This will probably be our last event for a month or so as we welcome our third baby girl into the world in November!

The flavor of the week is Jamaican Jerk. We used our garden grown and fermented Yellow Scotch Bonnets, roasted onions, roasted garlic and a Jamaican jerk spice blend to create a hot sauce packed with traditional jerk flavor.
🔥level is a 4 out of 10
These are available on our website, free shipping with $40 purchase.
We had a few people asking for a jerk sauce over the summer so hopefully they follow us and grab a bottle before they’re gone!

Catch us tomorrow in Pleasant Hill! We’ve got a brand new mustard style hot sauce, new canned jalapeno and carrots “taco toppings” and a ton more fresh from the garden spicy goodness. See you tomorrow!

🔥 🧟 The Zombie Trout🧟‍♂️ 🔥 is back and better than ever!
We’ve been able to add more jars and let our ferments go longer this year which makes our sauces that much better. The longer we let them go not only adds to the flavor of the peppers, but allows us to use less vinegar and other high acid additives to be shelf stable.

With all that said this years Zombie Trout is a 30 day ferment with Reaper Peppers from our garden. We added fresh onions and garlic from Maureen at Straw Hat Farms in Pleasantville that we roasted for maximum flavor! The Zombie isn’t just hot, the flavor and consistency are next level.
I’m giving the Zombie Trout an 🔥 8 out of 10🔥 on the heat scale. Grab a bottle and try for yourself at our website or the next show we will be attending is Saturday Oct. 17th at the Berean Church in Pleasant Hill.
