I've always enjoyed cooking, but what I really enjoy is seeing people's eye's light up after tasting something that I have prepared. I've made this salsa for about 12 years off and on, with alot of requests for more than just a handful of jars, sometimes cases. I'd always told people no because I would have to have big vats of salsa being stirred with something like an oar or paddle and it would turn my salsa making into a chore, instead of a hobby. Then 2009 hit and the economy forced me to come up with plan B. My partner Mark Dreste faced with the construction downward market as well, started selling his honey at local farmers markets. Dreste's grandfather had his own peddling business in the 1920's, hence Dreste's favorites. So I decided to make my salsa, pickles and jams. We went to several farmers markets in the St. Louis area and other events. Things were going crazy, we were slicing and dicing until wee hours of the morning. I am building my "Salsa Shack" now and will get you pictures soon. I think my sister Sharon wishes she didn't know me and Mark says he's the best pickle slicer this side of Texas. Now, after several requests...here it is...in the market! My dream of retirement was to push salsa up and down the beaches of Mexico in a wheel-barrow along with some home made tortilla chips. I would love to see my dream unfold here in Missouri instead!!! I owe alot of thanks to both Mark and Sharon because without their help, I wouldn't be able to handle this much volume! I am surrounded by family and good friends who are working hard to help get my new business off the ground, so I hope you like it and keep coming back for more!!!

Thank you!
