We are an Indiana company producing hot sauces from natural locally grown peppers. Choose from Mean Mr. Mustard, a Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce with hints of mustard, Caribbean Dream, a Cayenne pepper sauce with island jerk seasonings, Sweet Orange Oblivion, a Habanero sauce with Indiana honey, or Smokin' Hot Double D, a Cayenne pepper sauce with two different type of smoked peppers.

[YOUR KITCHEN GARDEN - Kerry Dodd]

I have a business called Your Kitchen Garden. My company's goal is to help those people who would love to have a kitchen garden at their house but do not have the time to establish and maintain one. Your Kitchen Garden would select and prepare a garden site on the homeowner's residence, build raised gardens or amend the soil as needed, work with the customer to select the right vegetables and herbs, plant seedlings, and maintain the garden (including setting up easy watering methods, pest and disease control, etc).

I am in complete support of farmer's markets. I believe if a home has thier own kitchen garden just outside the door they will be more likely to eat healthy and visit local farmer's markets in order to augment the veggies and herbs they already have with fresh, local products from the local farmers.

I am located in Pendleton, IN (10 miles NE of Fishers) and am marketing to all of the Indianapolis area and surrounding towns.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 765-208-5556 or info@yourkitchengarden.com.
