Chris and Pat have been making their salsa for the last 8+ years for themselves and for family and friends. When Chris brought some salsa to work to hand out as holiday gifts, the feedback was incredibly kind and people offered to pay for more moving forward.
With a small number of people ordering from them at this point, a market started to form and people were starting to become "regulars." In the beginning, family and friends that purchased the salsa, brought the first year totals to 1,000+ jars and it pushed their family to consider this as something that could be bigger than just a hobby.
