Small Axe Peppers Sustainability Actions

Bought peppers from gardens

Because of you, we have purchased thousands of pounds of peppers from community gardens at a premium price.

Supports garden income

We source our peppers from gardens at premium prices so gardens can earn income to support themselves and the maintenance of their gardens.

Expanded community garden model

Today, Small Axe Peppers has expanded its model to 75 cities across America, and purchased locally-grown peppers from more than 75 community gardens.

Donated seedlings in The Bronx

The Bronx Hot Sauce was born in the spring of 2014 when Small Axe Peppers and GrowNYC donated serrano pepper seedlings to five community gardens in The Bronx.

Purchased peppers in 2023

To date, despite the difficulties of the last two seasons, Small Axe Peppers has purchased 33,040 pounds (16.5 Tons) of peppers worth $91,600. This money provides resources to the gardens and helps keep these vital institutions alive so they can continue to make a positive change in the world around them.
