Tom & Jenny's
 |
Candy |
Tom & Jenny met in college, founded a non-profit together, and got married years later. In her first years as a dentist, Dr. Jenny saw her patients struggle with sugar-free or low-carb candies and snacks that tasted awful, failed to satisfy cravings, and were packed with artificial ingredients. As someone with a serious sweet tooth herself, she could sympathize. So Jenny set out to create candy she could feel good about sharing, right from her own kitchen. With her husband Tom, she cooked countless test batches to create the perfect combination of flavors and ingredients that work for a keto-friendly, low-carb, low-sugar lifestyle! Along the way they found their first mentor Chef Michael Laiskonis, a recipient of the James Beard Foundation Outstanding Pastry Chef award and twice named one of the '10 Best Pastry Chefs in America.' Today, Tom & Jenny have graduated from the home kitchen to a large scale manufacturing facility. They are enjoying growing their family business along with their two small daughters, in Durham, NC. |

Hoff & Pepper
 |
Hot Sauce |
Hoff & Pepper was founded by Aaron 'Hoff' Hoffman and his wife Michelle in 2013, starting as a small operation making hot sauce as gifts. Their passion for food and commitment to quality led them to create a brand that focuses on fresh, balanced flavors that enhance dishes rather than overpower them. The company has grown from farmers markets to thousands of retail locations across the country, maintaining a dedication to small-batch, craft sauces made from locally sourced peppers. |
