Farms, Ranches, and Local Food Businesses that deliver Spices in Utopia, TX 78884 (88)

Right now, there isn't a lot Farmer Matt’s Food Co. is selling. But whatever they produce from a process they describe as artisanal alchemy, it is surely a great product. Take for example the Fermented Pepper Condiment. Farmer Matt’s Food Co. takes pride in the fact that they make a hot sauce using a thorough fermentation process, naturally and artistically fermented in small batches. No vinegar. No sugar. 100% yummy. Maybe it is because the spice is made from the very peppers used to make the sauce. Farmer Matt’s Food Co. describes their Fermented Pepper Condiment as "the perfect blend of habanero and jalapeño peppers, garlic, and hibiscus flowers." Not only that, but they are also using their own special secret spices. If you want a bottle, you can visit Wolfforth Farmers Market every Saturday or order online.

The name alone evokes high, positive, contagious energy, and it is exciting! Kelle B Jammin' is a smart play on words, perfect for the business of selling delicious jams.
