Still waiting for approval but we made a batch today so we’re ready to rock once that does happen. 150 jars ready for a new home!
Also did a strawberry batch to replenish inventory

Our main purpose was to engage with retailers and investors to get into more stores and be able to promote to get out the good news about our brand.
Cinco salsas give you unique layered flavors, perfect texture, and easy back-heat, all with no added sugar, preservatives, or seed oils.
We met people from all sides of the industry: founders, suppliers, retailers, and more. I was interviewed multiple times and even did my first podcast. I connected with founders like me who have great products at various growth stages, and I made new friends.
Other brands and friends were ‘Rooting’ for me, just as I was for them. Many founders—even within my category—are truly supportive and encouraging, the way it should be.
I expected to at least connect with some retailers that align with my product—a fun salsa brand with clean ingredients and a truly unique flavor profile that customers have been craving. And wow, that definitely happened.
But Rooted Expo delivered so much more than that. The reactions we received confirmed that we have something special that needs to reach a wider audience.
Look for Cinco salsas to be bigger in 2027. Thanks to every one of you who supports our brand!

This @PrizmPeppers sound like a plan
Kids made orange chicken. Added more flavor with @EnakFlavors Chuan'rr and @PrizmPeppers Kimchi-Sriracha. So good.

Pulled some leftover sliced smoked pork loin from the freezer and sprinkled both sides with a little more Oinker Dust from @FireHatchRubs before a skillet reheat.
Supporting the fellow small business grinders is what we do around here.

Riffle farms.. WV. Or she can find you someone close to you. She is the Eastern Association president
Met @BuffaloRon today. What a nice guy! If you get a chance, meet your mutuals. Watched nativemovie.com part 1: Keystone. It was amazing to learn about bison and the positive impacts they have on our ecology. That being said, “eat bison to save bison!”

Many of you found me from my post stating I launched ENAK for the money.
Money to feed my family while actually being with my family instead of working 55-60 hours a week for someone else.
I need this business to succeed. I went all in on it before it made financial sense.
But I will never sacrifice ethics, morals, and basic decency in pursuit of that success. While success necessarily involves someone choosing my product over another, I will never seek to win by tearing someone else down or trying to suppress them.
I don't live with a scarcity mindset. I live with an abundance mindset. We can all win. And I want anyone who is doing things the right way to win.
Anybody who tells you they have a small business but aren’t in it for the money is being at least a little dishonest. Unless it’s a tiny hobby business, of course we want to make money. Myself, I want to make enough money to quit my day job and do this full time.
But most of us maintain strong principles.
There are some things you just don’t do.
Not everyone operates that way.
