What We Care About

Sustainability

Before we even had a product line, the main focus was to be as sustainable as possible by not adding more plastic to the world.

Come exchange your clean, empty jar/bottle for a discount on your next one at the Waxhaw Farmers Market.

Familiarity

By using Duke’s Mayonnaise and Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese in our Pimento Cheese recipes, we get to keep that not too “mayo-y”, homestyle chunky texture that you know and love.

Our spices, sauces, butter and baked goods are taken up a notch with scratch made ingredients and garnishes.

Bold Flavors

When we see an interesting spice or think up a new flavor combo, we go for it. Limited and seasonal flavors are tested out regularly at the Waxhaw Farmers Market.

Past favorites have been: Hot Honey Asiago, Cranberry Pecan, and Taco!

Vegan Options

Even though we do not personally practice vegan, gluten, or dairy-free meals, our friends do. Making a pimento cheese that wasn’t made of cheese has been our biggest win to date.

Follow Your Heart products are our base, and we add our spices (and love), to make it a perfect replica of the “real” thing.
