How It All Started
For as long as I can remember, my parents have been avid gardeners. They have
planted everything from pumpkins and strawberries to okra and rhubarb. Zucchini has
always had a place in their garden and they have always been extremely successful in
growing it (at times a little too successful)! My Mother (Pappy to all of her
grandchildren!) came up with a tasty way to utilize a lot of the zucchini, she developed
a unique recipe for zucchini relish. She has been making this recipe for years and has
always received rave reviews. To this day, no one in our family can eat a brat or a hot
dog without it.
A few years ago she tried a new recipe for Pepper Jelly. She noticed that the pepper
jellies available thru retailers were either made with artificial food colorings or were
extremely bland. That was how our Sweet Green Pepper Jelly came to fruition. It is
made with 100% All Natural ingredients to produce a sweet, fresh jelly. Ever since, we
have begun to adapt the pepper jelly making it with different types of peppers and
adding in additional ingredients, such as fruit.
My Parents and I realized that there could be a market for these products and we
decided to launch Pappy’s Gourmet in early 2010. Our goal is to produce the best
tasting products with all natural ingredients, using the family recipes. You will not find
any artificial colorings or preservatives in any of our products - that is our guarantee.
2011
At the beginning of 2011 we began to operate our own commercial production facility in
downtown Washington, MO. We were lucky enough to find a fabulous building located
right on the river!
Since we have taken over the production of our own products, we have more flexibility
to use locally grown produce and work on new product recipes. Our recipes are still
developed and perfected by our family.
Throughout 2011 we expect to add new products to our line and expand the number of
retail locations that carry them so they are more accessible to our customers!
Enjoy!
