San Diego’s Hot Sauce gets Swicy!
If you’ve visited us at the Solana Beach Farmers Market on a sunny Sunday, you’ve probably noticed something special about our booth. Between the ocean breeze and the vibrant local energy, there’s a unique synergy happening under our canopy.
We get asked all the time: “Are you guys also the honey people?” or “Do you make this BBQ sauce too?”
We wanted to take a moment to clear up the “buzz” and share the story of the incredible local partnerships that make San Diego Pepper Company what it is today.
Before we dive into our friends’ stories, you can always explore our full lineup of small-batch pepper flakes, sea salts, and hot sauces here:
Many Local Companies, One Booth: The San Diego Honey Co. Connection
First things first: San Diego Pepper Company and San Diego Honey Company are two separate, independent local businesses. While we share a deep love for San Diego’s agricultural roots and a commitment to quality, we are distinct entities.
However, we are more than just neighbors—we are partners!
To bring you the best of both worlds (the “Heat” and the “Sweet”), we run a joint booth at the Solana Beach Farmers Market. By sharing a space, we’re able to offer North County locals a one-stop shop for artisanal pantry staples.
We both are committed to supporting the local food economy and bringing excellent products to the farmers market community.
Can’t make it to the market? No worries. We’ve extended this partnership to the digital world. You can find a curated selection of San Diego Honey Co. products right here on our website, and you’ll find our signature pepper blends and sauces featured on theirs. It’s our way of making sure you’re never without your favorite local pairings.
Bringing the Smoke: Oaksteak BBQ Sauce
The collaboration doesn’t stop at honey. If you’re a fan of authentic, bold flavors, you’ve likely seen Oaksteak BBQ Sauce featured prominently at our booth and online.
We are proud to partner with Oaksteak to bring their premium BBQ sauces to the Solana Beach community. Just like our pepper blends, Oaksteak is built on quality ingredients and a passion for the craft.
- At the Market: You can sample and purchase Oaksteak BBQ sauces directly from our joint booth at the Solana Beach Farmers Market every Sunday.
- Online: We’ve integrated Oaksteak BBQ Sauce into our web store, making it easy to add a bottle of their smoky goodness to your next order of San Diego Pepper Co. spices.
Support Local, Eat Well
At San Diego Pepper Company, we believe that the “shop local” movement is strongest when small businesses work together. Whether it’s the raw, local honey from San Diego Honey Co. or the masterfully crafted sauces from Oaksteak, we are honored to stand alongside these creators.
Next time you’re strolling down South Cedros Avenue on a Sunday afternoon, stop by the market and say hi. Grab a jar of honey, a bottle of BBQ sauce, and some of our famous pepper flakes. It’s the ultimate San Diego flavor trifecta!
