About Parker Family Foods, LLC

So, here is a little about us. After working in the corporate world, in transportation, food manufacturing, and print industry, I had enough of the corporate politics. We already had a small hobby farm, so I decided to explore the local farmers markets and try to make some extra income from the farm. We were raising your typical fair, chickens, eggs and pork, but I knew we were missing some value added products, and nobody at the local markets had anything spicy. My wife and I honeymooned in Bermuda and met some street vendors that were selling pepper jellies. I had never heard of such a thing, but I was instantly hooked, considering in college, my buddies and I would consistently challenge each other with the hottest wings at the local wing joint. A few summers after our honeymoon, I had extra peppers from our garden, so I decided to make some pepper jam. It seemed to be a hit with friends, but it never went further than that, until we started at farmers markets. So, originally we started making pepper jams as a value added product to compliment our meats and other farm fare. We started with three flavors, and soon expanded into 6 flavors. We soon realized that the spicy industry is where we needed to be. Since then we have added 23 hot sauces, 3 mustards, and a 3 BBQ sauces. We have also been featured on Hot Ones Season 8, 13, 17, & 20. In 2023, we purchased the Vermont Epicurean and Gormly's lines of products, which has added another 15 products to our lineup.Read their story
