A DREAM AND A CHILI FARM
Founded in October of 2017, Ocean State Pepper Co. has been cranking out the world's hottest peppers, and showcasing them in an approachable light. We use our fresh organically-grown chilies, which we dry and blend in-house, to elevate the flavors of our seasoning blends, without the overpowering use of salts and processed sugars. Being able to control the process from seed to bottle allows us to provide ultra fresh seasonings, that will instantly elevate anyone's spice rack.

OSPC Values
Focused on Health
Founded by an executive chef and a pilates & fitness coach with dietary restrictions, we’ve been studying natural ingredients and holistic health for our entire careers. We apply these learnings to everything that goes into our products, and believe that if you care about what goes into your body, your seasonings should be no exception.
Obsessed with quality
We’re relentlessly focused on sourcing the highest quality ingredients. When we can’t find crops that meet our requirements for natural, flavorful and fresh, we grow them ourselves. We believe this is the only way to ensure maximum flavor and shelf life, since artificial preservatives and cheap flavor enhancements are never an option.
Raised by relationships
Our customers and partners are everything to us. From the farmers we work with (you’re the man, Matt), to the post office lady who picks up our online orders (thanks Sharon!), to the artisanal culinary shops that stock our seasonings (Jan, you’re a saint), to you, our amazing customers. Caring about every one of your stories is why we’re doing this, and how we’ll keep it going.
supporting community
We’re not just building a company to make food taste better, but to make food taste better and elevate our region’s economy. Our decision to source and produce locally connects our success directly to our home region of Rhode Island and New England. It’s in our name for a reason.
environmental stewards
We place the planet before costs. Plastic is cheap, fills our landfills, and takes eons to break down if not properly recycled. That's why we use glass and compostable materials in our packaging process. The extra cost of packaging is part of the cost we are willing to pay to protect the future of our planet, long after we are here.
down to clown
Fun is a non-negotiable element to our business, and to your experience with our products. Who says that cooking needs to be this labor-intensive, overall drain on your day? With our easy to use blends, the cheeky names are just a nod to having fun, and bringing a little joy into the frying pan. We have just one question to ask you: Why so serious?
