We started Shelton and Sons Sauces in 2024. Our journey into the world of hot sauce began unexpectedly, sparked by the innocent curiosity of our 12-year-old son. It all started when he decided to plant a few pepper seeds in our backyard, eager to see them grow. To our amazement, those tiny seeds flourished into a bountiful harvest of vibrant peppers, each boasting its own unique flavor and heat level.As we watched our son tend to his pepper plants with unwavering dedication, we couldn't help but be inspired by his passion. Together, as a family, we began experimenting with different recipes, blending peppers of varying intensities with complementary ingredients to create tantalizing hot sauces. What started as a simple hobby quickly evolved into a shared family obsession.Driven by our son's enthusiasm and our own love for culinary experimentation, we decided to turn our newfound hobby into a business. Armed with nothing but our family recipes and a deep-rooted commitment to quality, we officially launched our hot sauce venture. From sourcing the freshest ingredients to perfecting our production process, every step was infused with the same spirit of passion and dedication that inspired us from the beginning.Today, our hot sauce business stands as a testament to the power of family and the joy of pursuing one's passions. And as we continue to grow and share our handcrafted sauces with fellow heat seekers around the world, we remain grateful to our son for igniting the spark that started it all.
