I had the pleasure of spending time with two food powerhouses yesterday. One is author Robyn Jasko, from Kutztown, who is the founder of Homesweet Homegrown and creator of www.growindie.com. She also has her own line of Homesweet Homegrown hot sauces carried at Whole Foods Market stores on the East Coast. The other is Olga Sorzano, an organic chef from Downingtown, who is the founder of L.O.S.T. Gourmet (Local, Organic, Sustainable, Traditional) and G.L.O.W. She caters organic weddings and cooks to heal some of her clients in addition to giving food lectures and workshops and traveling the world to continuously educate herself about the healing power of food.

We paid a visit to Robyn’s tucked away two-acres of hot peppers she has growing in Kutztown. The field is still ripe for harvest and is absolutely charming. Managing 5,000 of her own pepper plants is what sets Robyn’s hot sauce apart from the rest out there, in addition to the fun variety of flavors,

with such names as Punch Drunk and Orange Crush. Robyn, who is a master of crowd funding through Kickstarter, was recently featured on PBS where you can learn more about her hot sauce in her own words. You can also find her doing some 'meet the farmer' hot sauce demonstrations at various Whole Foods. Robyn is seeking pepper pickers through Nov 15...see more info on flier...
