Our Story
Goshenhoppen Run is a family-run farm in southeast Pennsylvania. We craft genuine farm-to-bottle hot sauces, hot relishes, and raw hot honey using peppers grown right here on our farm. Home to the Old Gosh and Fraktured sauce lines, we specialize in fermented, long-aged flavor and heat.
Greetings!
We’re half crazy, fully committed spice lovers who literally bought a farm to make hot sauce.
Back in 2012, we decided using someone else’s peppers wasn’t going to cut it. We wanted to grow our own and build a true farm-to-bottle experience around traditional fermentation and long aging. Time changes peppers. It rounds the heat, deepens the flavor and develops a character you simply can’t rush.
A few years passed before we sold our first bottles. It took time, sweat and a whole lot of stubbornness to hone our skills and perfect our recipes.
Our farm sits about 25 miles northwest of Philadelphia in the historic Old Goshenhoppen region, a place where Pennsylvania German traditions and craftsmanship endure. The ground’s tough, but we love it. It makes for great hot peppers and even better sauces.
Our namesake is Old Goshenhoppen Run, the original name of the creek bordering our southern edge. No one really knows the exact origins of the name or its original spelling. A 1734 record for our property even called the creek “Old Coweschoppin.” 😳🤣
Yeah, funny name. But we’re serious about our craft.
Farm Crafted Heat
Our fermentation and long-aging process creates a deeply flavorful pepper mash with smooth, rounded heat, natural body and remarkable depth. That mash is the foundation of our two signature brands.
Old Gosh is our classic aged pepper sauce and the most direct expression of our craft. Simple and pepper-forward, it lets fermentation and long aging take center stage, creating the depth and character of a classic, versatile table sauce.
Fraktured Sauce starts with that same mash and heads in all sorts of fun directions. Fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices come into play, creating an imaginative line of artisan sauces with distinct flavors and personalities.
Old Gosh is the classic. Fraktured is the wild child. Both are built to compliment the foods you love.
Farm Crafted Sweet
We started beekeeping several years ago and immediately realized bees are crazier than we are.🐝🐝 🤪
That’s fine with us. We love the company. Those little maniacs do all the heavy lifting, pollinating our crops and producing the honey we use in several of our products.
Locally Grown, Nationally Known
We’ve been named one of the best Philly-area hot sauce makers by the Philadelphia Inquirer, and our sauces have earned national recognition from the Scovie and Screaming Mimi Awards. But the only award that really matters to us is folks like you coming back for more!
So whether you’re here for something classic or something wild, we’re glad you found us! Shop now to stock up on our sauces, hot honey, and more!
Cheers,
The Geverd Family 🤪🔥🌶️🚜
