Pops' Pepper Patch

Pops' Pepper Patch
is a small-batch food manufacturer and co-packer located in Louisville, KY. First year sales were a whopping $400. State Dept. of Health.

A gift of pepper infused vinegar to my father, Bob "Pops" Kamman, upon his retirement in 1993 is where it all began. Someone's failure to remove a price tag resulted in today's commercial food processing facility. First year Pops, an avid gardener, had a copious amounts of peppers, herbs and time. Armed with gourmet gift bottles, he stuffed, filled and corked various infused vinegars. He incorpora

ted in 1994, purchased liability insurance and quadrupled sales by adding a red pepper jelly to the product line. I'd help out evenings and weekends, a quasi production line was formed. Knee surgery sidelined my "real" job for two months, so Pops kept me busy helping him. With a bumper crop of jalapenos, we put our heads together and decided to make a unique hot sauce, one where we smoked and dried the peppers over s**g bark hickory, then finely ground to a powder. My culinary training kicked in, making sure we stimulate all the senses of your taste buds. Our chipotle sauce was born. Every gourmet/specialty shop owner who tasted it bought it. When the habaneros began ripening, we did the same thing, smoking the chilies for up to 5 days to achieve a truly unique flavor. The next thing you know, our local paper, The Courier-Journal, called and wanted to interview us for an upcoming article about hot sauces, saying our Smoky Habanero sauce was "truly unique", perfect for ribs, turkey and even kale. Talk about kicking it up a notch, we were inundated with calls on who sells them. That also brought us to the attention of the Ky. Working together, we located a licensed church kitchen to process our products. My day job started interfering with our budding sauce business. Pops retired again in '95, and I took the reins in hand. With my wife's blessing and financial support, I located a small building that filled our needs and opened with myself as our first client. We've relocated to larger facilities twice and now process in excess of 50 products for clients in three states. Our commitment to quality ingredients, uncompromising manufacturing procedures and a willingness to put our guarantee behind everything we do allows us to grow.

If you’ve spent any time around our warehouse, you know Jason.

He’s the friendly face behind shipping and receiving, and someone a lot of our customers have gotten to know over the years.

Right now, he’s stepping away to focus on his health.

A GoFundMe has been set up to support Jason and his wife, Beverly, during his recovery.

We wanted to share this with our community for anyone who would like to support them.

Jason has been unable to work since the beginning of the year after suffering … Penny Henderzahs needs your support for Support for Beverly & Jason's Recovery
