California small business owner depends on harvest season to make “community condiment”
Posted: October 22, 2019While many of us are heading to pumpkin patches and apple orchards this month, Deb Ramirez Rock, owner of Sonoma Hot Sauce in Sonoma County, Calif., is encouraging her community to go pepper picking instead at her fourth annual harvest party.
“I’m an advocate for peppers over pumpkins,” Deb proclaims.
Harvest parties are a popular tradition in Sonoma County at this time of year and are one of the many reasons why Deb decided to base her business in Sonoma five years ago.
