Our Story
very bottle starts the same way it always has: one family, one kitchen, one batch at a time.
Kinfire Foods started around a kitchen table — not a commercial one. We grew peppers in the backyard, tasted and argued and tasted again, and eventually landed on recipes that felt right. Not perfect. Right.
We use real ingredients: sun-grown peppers, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and spices you can actually pronounce. No stabilizers, no shortcuts. Each batch is made by hand, labeled by hand, and sent out with the same intention it was made with.
This isn't a side hustle or a drop-ship operation. It's what we do, and we do it because we believe food made with care tastes that way.
"Started on a Tuesday. Still going, every Tuesday since."
The kitchen, most Saturday mornings.
How It Gets Made
Every batch we make starts with peppers — grown or sourced from farms we know by name. Here is exactly what happens between the harvest and your table.
Step 01 — The Peppers
We use fresh and dried peppers: arbol, guajillo, cayenne, and habanero depending on the sauce. We taste each crop. If it is not right, we wait. We never substitute heat for flavor.
Our arbol peppers come from the same family farm we have been buying from for years. They know what we want before we ask.
Step 02 — The Batch
We cook in small batches on purpose. Each run is tasted, adjusted, and bottled by hand. A small batch lets us catch what goes wrong before it ships. It also means the sauce you get is made within days of your order.
Apple cider vinegar. Sea salt. Fresh garlic. That is the whole list — plus the peppers and whatever makes each sauce its own.
The Sauces
Our all-purpose sauce. Arbol and guajillo peppers, slow-roasted garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Goes on eggs, tacos, grilled chicken, pizza — pretty much everything. Mild enough for the whole table.

The People
There is no co-packer. No fulfillment warehouse. We make every batch, bottle every jar, and ship every order ourselves. That means we know exactly what went into what you receive.
We are a two-person operation with too many peppers, a good cast iron pan, and a belief that food made by real people tastes like it.
When you write to us, you hear back from us — not a support queue.
"We make it the way we want to eat it. That has always been the whole idea."
Also from our kitchen table
The same family that makes your hot sauce also built a simple household savings planner. Not an app. Not a subscription. A practical, downloadable tool for tracking what comes in, what goes out, and where you want to get to.
We made it for ourselves first. Now it works for a lot of other families too.
