Our Story

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits..." - Apple Inc., 1997

Greetings! 

We’re half crazy, fully committed spice lovers who literally bought a farm to make hot sauce.

About  ago we decided it wasn't good enough to make our products from someone else's hot peppers. We had to grow those little hotties ourselves. A few years passed before we sold our first bottles; it took time, sweat, and a whole lot of stubborn to hone our farming skills and perfect our recipes.

 Our farm sits about 40 miles northwest of Philly, in Pennsylvania’s Goshenhoppen region, a place where centuries-old German craftsmanship and traditions still thrive. Goshenhoppen Run is the original name of the creek that borders our southern edge. Our roots run deep here, from Old City to these rolling hills and everywhere in between. Nothing comes easy in these parts. The ground’s tough and the people even tougher. In our book, that makes for great hot peppers and even better sauces.

We are inspired by Fraktur, the blackletter script and 18th-century folk art synonymous with our region. From centuries-old manuscripts to modern calligraphic expression, Fraktur has many gears. It’s simultaneously deliberate and spontaneous, bold yet subtle, complex yet simple. Just like our sauces. Fraktured is built to complement the foods you love. Our premium-aged pepper mash is at the heart of every batch, delivering full-bodied flavor and smooth, rounded heat.  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 is folks like you coming back for more.

If you’re a little crazy or move through the world a bit Fraktured like us then what are you waiting for? Shop now to stock up on our sauces, hot honey, and more!

Cheers,

The Geverd Family 🤪🔥🌶️🚜
