Demented Fermenter Backyard Habanero

Punchy, bright, and brilliantly unhinged.

Grown close to home and nurtured into a state of delicious chaos. Our Backyard Habanero leans into the bright, tropical fruitiness and fierce heat that habaneros are famous for, but with a wild twist. Instead of drowning it in harsh vinegar, we let lacto-fermentation work its magic over time. The result is a living, breathing hot sauce that delivers a sharp, clean kick, smoothed out by deep, funky undertones and gut-friendly goodness. It’s loud, it’s alive, and it belongs on everything.
