Kultivar & Co

11/29/2022

We have been busy as elves in the workshop (kitchen) and we are excited to announce we are kicking off our holiday season by participating in the Paris Christmas Market in Paris, Ontario. .ace puts on great shows and this will be no exception.

For any of our fans in the area, we hope you can make it out! We will have all our sauces, rubs and salt as well as some special pieces from Emma Gerard, which will make awesome gifts.

December 3 & 4 at the Paris Fairgrounds 🌲

This past Wednesday was the 5-year anniversary of Kultivar. That’s the date we officially incorporated and launched our brand from “Batch Number” to “Kultivar and Company”.

We have had lots of fun making sauce, meeting new people and enjoying lots of good food along the way.

We made this little video to celebrate some of our evolution over the past 5 years.

Thank you so much for your continued support and for sticking by us through all the bumps in the road. Running a business is not easy, especially when you throw a pandemic and young children into the mix. We love you guys for showing up.

Looking forward to a great 2022 season.

Ira got back into the kitchen on March 5th after a hiatus and here’s what he had to say about it:

I got to the kitchen early on a brisk Saturday morning. It was reminiscent of when I used to work opening shifts at various restaurants, and there is just nothing that replaces the sound and smell of a dormant professional kitchen coming to life.

This was one of the first cooks where I had more help than I’ve ever had before. I had Lisa helping me in the early days before the kids came, and I’ve had a cook help me out a couple of times over the past two years, but this time I had two people working with me and they knew the kitchen intimately. Boy was it a treat!

I had a lot of anxiety to start. We could not secure enough bottles from our local supplier due to supply chain issues so some of the sauce had to be preserved into mason jars for later. For the first time we were having a produce delivery (dead of winter, needed to bring in some produce). Coordinating a cook like that did takes a lot of work and I’m used to just arriving and getting right to cooking. This time, I had to coordinate three start times for the cooks, a delivery window for produce, shooting content, prep lists, doing the math for filling the litre jars etc. Lots to cover off.

Overall, the cook went great. The roasting garlic made the kitchen smell amazing, but then we almost had a disaster when it came to drying out our peppers in the oven. I got a bit in the weeds and forgot to check on the peppers and ALMOST incinerated 20 lbs of reapers....

Next Saturday we will be doing a pop up event with one of our favourite entrepreneurs, Amber from Spoon In!

If you're in Guelph, head over to Green Goddess Fromagerie to enjoy some delicious Red Beans & Rice and Burritos made by us (both vegan!). We will also be fully stocked with hot sauce.

While you're there, be sure to pick up Ready Made Spoon In Smoothie Bowls (we are addicted) and your favourite Green Goddess Vegan Cheese.

We're back in the kitchen this Saturday! We want to thank everyone who has reached out to us over the past couple of months. We took an extended break which has turned out to be really good for our family.

We thank you for your continued support.
Look for lots of new things coming soon as we refresh our business. Our time off was not completely idle.

We will be updating our website on March 12 with new stock.

These would also look great in our sauces or fields

These chilli peppers would be great in chili, and were grown a long, long way from Chile.
