Small Axe Peppers

Small Axe Peppers empowers community gardens by purchasing their locally grown peppers at premium prices. Small Axe Peppers Hot Sauce is made with peppers grown in community gardens throughout The United States. We source our peppers from gardens at premium prices so gardens can earn income to support themselves and the maintenance of their gardens. In the spring, with the help of local non-profits, we distribute pepper seeds and seedlings to participating gardens free of charge. Over the course of the growing season, the gardens harvest, and we collect their pepper crop. We use these peppers in our hot sauces, according to a recipes developed by Culinary Institute of America graduate Chef King Phojonakong. Each bottle of Bronx Hot Sauce purchased, directly supports the community gardens who grow these peppers.
