Farm-fermented hot sauce

Good soil. Wild flavor.

We’re Josh and Zach. We grow the peppers, ferment them slow, and bottle five hot sauces on our farm in the Sierra Nevada foothills. A little piece of this place, for whatever’s on your plate.

From our soil to your supper

A slower way to make a little heat.

We grow the peppers, ferment them in small batches, and bottle them right here. Three steps. Plenty of patience. That’s where the flavor comes from.

1

Grow

Peppers grown on our five acres at 3,000 ft, among the pines at the edge of the forest.

2

Ferment

Small batches, fermented the slow way — like a sourdough or a good kraut — for real, layered flavor.

3

Bottle

Blended, balanced, and bottled right here in West Point. No filler, no shortcuts.

Forest-Edge Farming

Grown where the forest meets the farm

We farm five acres in West Point, in the Calaveras County foothills of the Sierra Nevada — high, dry, sunny country at the edge of the pines. Real seasons, real sun, and peppers that taste like where they’re from. The mountain and the forest aren’t a backdrop. They’re part of the sauce.
