When Gindo’s Hot Sauce first moved to the Fox Valley from the West Coast in 2015, its founders had a goal of immersing themselves in the community, knowing where their ingredients were coming from and showing pride in where they make their products. Now, almost 10 years later, the company’s collaboration with Garlic Breath Farm in Elburn made its way into a first-of-its-kind, quickly-sold-out holiday gift box showcasing products made right here in Illinois.
