Get to know the Hot Dan Fam!

About Us

Hot Dan, his hot wife, and their seven kids are the heart behind everything we make—and yes, the products proudly carry their names. What started as a shared love for growing peppers has turned into a full-on family adventure, where everyone pitches in and taste-tests Hot Dan’s latest (and sometimes wild) creations.

The Garden
It all begins just steps from our door. What started small didn’t stay that way for long—each year, more space gets claimed by peppers as we make room for new and exciting varieties. Our garden is built on time, grit, and a whole lot of love, and it’s where every bold flavor we create gets its start.

The Market
In 2020, we took our first leap and brought 20 varieties of peppers to the farmers market. The response? Incredible. We introduced people to heat the way it’s meant to be—full of flavor, not just fire. Along the way, our kids have learned the ins and outs of running a business, making the market just as much about family growth as it is about peppers.

The Seasonings
By 2021, we wanted to keep the momentum going all season long. With a huge harvest on hand, we started drying peppers and experimenting with blends. That’s when our seasonings were born. We found grinders deliver the freshest, boldest flavor, and they’ve been a staple ever since. We’re just getting started—and we’ve got plenty more blends (with a kick) on the way.

The Future
We’ve got big plans and even bigger ideas. From new blends to brand-new products, we’re always growing, always experimenting, and always bringing more heat to the table. This is just the beginning.
