Plant Some Kindness began in 2022 as a small farmers market operation selling air plants, custom succulents, peppers, and unique growing supplies. We slowly started expanding the product line over the years and in 2024 we added hot sauces. We started growing hot peppers our first season with just a few plants, 2023 we expanded to 65 pepper plants of about 10 different varieties. In 2024 we took a giant leap and added more peppers and more varieties. In 2024 we had over 148 pepper plants with over 80 varieties,2025 we had 300 plants, these range from mild to super-hot. With all these peppers came a problem, what do we do with all of them? Plant Some Kindness hot sauce was born out of necessity. We became cottage license certified through the state and local health departments and began selling our hot sauces. In 2026 we will carry 12 varieties of hot sauces as our signature line and add special editions along the way. Our current sauce lineup is: Jalapeno Dill, Smokey Mild, Jalapeno Verde, Red Flame Cayenne, Garlic Serrano, Habanero Verde, Pineapple/Mango Habanero, Hot Honey Mustard, Smokey Hot, Pineapple Reaper, Black Garlic Ghost, and Tears of Satan. We also sell pepper jams, rubs, and homemade smoked salts. During grow season, we sell fresh pods and ship all over the United States. In 2025 we shipped over 315 boxes of peppers, seeds, and sauces nationwide. PSK also sold 1650 bottles of hot sauces and did 47 different market events. One of the biggest parts of our business is seeds. All the peppers we grow are de seeded and the seeds are then saved to grow the next season or sold to other growers. In 2025 we sold over 1400 packs to all 50 states and 5 countries. In 2026 PSK added a 2nd grow location enabling us to grow 500-600 plants of over 100 varieties. These peppers will allow PSK to sell fresh pods online and at markets, make hot sauces and other pepper products, and sell seeds. Making us a totally self sustainable business.
