About Us
We love hot peppers!
Originally just friends, Linda & John (that’s us!), fell in love with spicier and spicier foods until we couldn’t live without it. Fortunately, our families and ultimate frisbee friends are also expert gardeners and hot sauce chefs. Experimenting with their excess harvest led us to creating dried hot pepper flakes we could take with us everywhere we go. We began growing our own hot peppers out back under our giant oak tree. Now we are coordinating multiple gardens and drying, grinding, and blending hot and super hot peppers into Survival Spice for everyone to enjoy!
homegrown, handmade,
hand-crafted
Every pepper is locally grown, pesticide-free, hand picked, and processed by us. We inspect each pepper before drying and hand grind them in a mortar & pestle to perfectly sized flakes for you to enjoy with any dish, anywhere!
Sustainably Packaged
Survival Spice is wrapped for shipping in seed paper sourced from a Midwest small business, secured with repurposed cardboard, and packaged in a compostable envelope.
PLANT YOUR PACKAGING
All it takes is a little bit of dirt and water to grow these North American, non-invasive wildflowers. This means our packaging envelope and the cardboard can be buried under the seed paper to keep the worms happy along with the pollinators who will love the colors and pollinate any pepper plants (and others) in the neighborhood!
TAKE it everywhere you go!
Each 1 gram glass bottle is protected and portable with its custom designed hemp twine, hand crocheted pepper pouch. Sprinkle on as much or as little as you desire.
We recommend at least 3 shakes to start.
