The story of Pepper Queen Farms is born from a simple belief: that a great hot sauce should be defined by its flavor. We are passionate about crafting products with exceptional taste and a clean, natural label.
The core of our craft is the art of lacto-fermentation, a slow, careful process that uses just salt, water, and time. For weeks, we carefully monitor our high-quality, all-natural fruits and vegetables as they ferment to achieve the perfect balance of deep, complex flavor and natural preservation. This commitment to an authentic, age-old technique means our products are made with absolutely no preservatives, gums, fillers, or additives.
Rooted in the rich soil of Valley Center, CA, we take our farm-to-bottle philosophy seriously. Our limited-edition seasonal batches are created with 100% organic ingredients, many of which are grown on our very own Certified Organic farm plot. Any ingredients we cannot grow ourselves are locally sourced, ensuring maximum freshness and support for our community.
Our unique, vibrant recipes are a celebration of world cuisine, featuring ingredients like hibiscus, kaffir lime leaves, and exotic, hand-blended spices.
At Pepper Queen Farms, we're not just making hot sauce; we're cultivating a tradition of exceptional flavor, naturally.
