Forest Forager Hot Sauces
Featuring homegrown, fiery chili peppers and key ingredients foraged in the wild from our local forests. All three of our unique blends highlight an indigenous edible forest plant. It’s reasonable to say these are the only hot sauces of their type on the planet. We brew fresh batches every Fall! And we honestly sell out every year...so reach out and reserve your bottles! These hot sauces make wonderful & unique gifts for your tree-hugger friend Juniper or your charmingly odd Uncle Remus who you spied slathering habanero-cranberry chutney all over his turkey last Thanksgiving.
Our three delectable blends are:
- The Forgotten Fruit - featuring paw paw (Asimina triloba) with ginger & lime
- Scurvy Slayer - featuring spicebush berry (Lindera benzoin) with oranges & dark rum
- Agent Orange - featuring ramps (Allium tricollum) with roasted carrot & cumin
$15 per bottle, or $40 for the trifecta

Feeling frisky? Elixirs also serve as a foundation for foolproof artisan cocktails.

Epic Bay Leaves
Another shamefully abused word: Epic. Yet, you will not find more aromatic nor more flavorful bay leaves anywhere in the DC area, period! One whiff will make you a believer. Don’t waste your money on those tiny jars of those stale excuses for Laurel nobilis you find at the store. Organically grown here on our regenerative suburban homestead and freshly dried, our bay leaves retain their exceptional flavor for many months. If you cook rice, soups, stews, or gumbos, these are a must have.

Pickled Ramps
Every home cook knows the culinary magic imbued in a well-crafted batch of pickled red onions. Now imagine if “pickled red onions” and “an enchanting hike through the forest in Spring” had a baby. What a beautiful baby that would be! Oh, and just FYI this baby craves garlic 24/7. And now at long last, you can get your hands on your very own jar of that baby… Okay, we might need a new metaphor. Bottom Line: Exceptionally unique and delicious wild vegetable condiment that compliments your savory dishes or charcuterie boards.
