Great Ingredients and a Healthy Future

.At Hosta Hill, we started as farmers, and we have made a commitment to supporting sustainable and equitable food systems. We source local and organic produce from independent farmers in New York and Massachusetts. Learn more about our organic farm partners here.

Why partner with our region’s independent farms? Purchasing directly from independent farmers gives us access to the highest quality produce for our recipes. Plus, this practice allows us to support local agricultural livelihoods. We have been supporting these farms and building relationships with them for years. They each have growing practices that support healthy soil, which we see as a long game to enhancing the health of the land over time.

You can rely on the freshness and quality of our ingredients. Plus, each jar of our small batch hot sauce or other fermented veggies supports our independent regional farms, healthy soil, and healthy bodies! We think of it as a field to fork operation. 

Fermented Small Batch Hot Sauce

Did you know that many of the big-name hot sauces, like Tobasco and Sriracha, are fermented?

The experts know that fermentation adds depth of flavor to the peppers, leading to a hot sauce with a more complex taste that continues to develop over time. Our small batch hot sauce has an evolving flavor that is actually alive.

The unique and creative flavors in our cultured vegetables develop slowly through wild fermentation, a natural preservation process that enhances the nutrient availability and living cultures in our products. Our small batch hot sauce is made the traditional way: no vinegar, just vegetables, sea salt, and time!  

Lacto-fermentation is a slow and continually giving process. Your hot sauce flavor continues to evolve, becoming subtler, more complex and sometimes taking on an interesting new tanginess.
