Bourbon Pecan Peanut Butter

Reginald's Homemade calls this one "heaven in a jar" and they're not wrong - it's sinfully good! With all the classic ingredients in a bourbon pecan pie made into a peanut butter, what's not to love. Made with brown sugar, molasses, a splash of bourbon and chunks of roasted pecans this spread was made with late summer in mind.

Campfire Coffee Blend

This dark roast is a blend that features some of Black Hand Coffee Co's favorite Sumatran + Mexican beans, making it perfect for sipping around a campfire. The complex flavors make this an ideal coffee for red eye gravy in the morning; brewed and used in a marinade for skirt steak fajitas; or whisked into an ice cream base with cocoa nibs.

Austin Green

I had developed a Bloody Mary Mix that chefs, bartenders, and friends all thought was fantastic. At the very beginning, we just canned our mix in Ball jars, the old fashioned way out of my kitchen. These jars were the first samples that made their way to Richmond food and beverage community for peer review. The response was overwhelmingly positive. We all dreamed of working for ourselves and providing a product people loved. We saw an opportunity to realize that dream and dove in head first.
