Doug’s sauces are always honest; he never uses extracts or guar gum.

Doug’s sauces use local ingredients. We’re talking seriously-local…bring him a box of peppers from your backyard garden and he’ll make a sauce out of it for you.

Here’s a quick list of some of Doug’s favorite partners:

• Woodstock Orchards, Woodstock
• Fabyan Sugar Shack, North Grosvenordale
• Quiet Corner Coffee Roasters, Ashford
