Julie (more commonly known as Julz) first got involved with harvesting through growing tomatoes behind her house during her childhood. Once she purchased her first house as an adult, she expanded her gardening operations, adding cucumbers, squash, corn, and hot peppers into the mix. Soon, she had more hot peppers than she could eat herself.

This problem turned into an opportunity. Julz made hot sauce and gave it to her friends and family at their next gathering... and everyone loved it! When the opportunity opened up, Julz started her business and began selling hot sauce in the summer of 2019. Julz prioritizes deep, well-rounded flavors in her hot sauces and tries to use local North Carolina produce in her products as much as possible.
