About Homestead’s Hot Sauce

A MISSION born from PASSION

Homestead’s Hot Sauce was born in a tiny kitchen out of frustration, curiosity, and a blender that nearly gave up on us.

*****

We’re Maddy & Andrey, the husband-and-wife team behind the brand. After my own health struggles during & after pregnancy, I (Maddy—aka The Hot Sauce Girl) got serious about ingredients. Most sauces were full of gums, preservatives, and stuff we couldn’t pronounce—so we made our own. What started as a DIY project turned into a movement.
*****
We bootstrapped everything: licensing, labels, a trademark without a lawyer. We sold to friends, then at farmers markets, restaurants & grocery stores! Today, Homestead’s is served in NYC burger joints, featured on TV, donated to firefighters, and loved by thousands of flavor-obsessed, label-reading customers across the country.


What We Make: Our sauces are small-batch and farm to table—made with real produce, clean heat, and bold flavor. No preservatives. No gums. No BS. Just good food. Always Vegan, Gluten-Free, Low Sodium, No Sugar Added, Kosher Certified, and diet-inclusive.

Why “Homestead’s”?

Because that’s the dream—to build a real homestead where we grow our own ingredients, host events, and show people how food should be made. Until then, we work from our little urban garden and do things the right way, even if it takes longer.

Our Mission: We’re here to clean up the condiment aisle, support small farms, give back to our community, and inspire other founders to build boldly and independently.

Whether you’re here for the flavor, the mission, or the story—we’re glad you found us!

Welcome to the Homestead’s Family!

From Someone that typically doesn’t like hot sauce flavors- I was blown away by Homestead’s. I got two bottles of the Gourmet Blend and am THRILLED with my choice. I was surprised how flavorful it is. I originally bought them for my mom, but I’ll…

I gave my son Homestead's Hot Sauce as a Christmas present. He intends to study the intersection of nutrition and psychology starting next year, and he was THRILLED by the clean ingredient list, and even happier after tasting the hot sauce.
Well done!!

This is by far one of the best hot sauce I've ever had! I just received a bottle in the mail and now it's almost done in just a few days. I can't wait to order more! The best part is that this hot sauce is all natural, made with real ingredients on top of it tasting amazing!
