My kids laughed at me when I first started making fresh salsa in the back of our small restaurant in Ferndale, Michigan. The restaurant was struggling - my accountant was always yelling at me for using only the most expensive ingredients - but I couldn't resist making and serving the best food possible. Before long, customers were pouring in just for our fresh salsa.

One day the president of an upscale supermarket chain walked in, tried our fresh salsa and demanded we package it for his stores. So began the Garden Fresh adventure. In those days we made our fresh salsa in five gallon buckets and packaged it in the back of our restaurant, until the city threatened to shut us down. Orders for salsa were coming in faster than we could fill them, so we built our own plant.

Today Garden Fresh is America's #1 Award Winning Fresh Salsa. My kids still work for us (they stopped laughing a while ago), my accountant is now Garden Fresh's CFO, and the city has asked me to join the board of the Chamber of Commerce.

I still make Garden Fresh Salsa exactly the same way I did in the back of our restaurant - in five gallon buckets using only the best, freshest ingredients. I apply that same chef's mentality to our Kettle Style Tortilla Chips. Not only are these chips the perfect complement to our Garden Fresh Salsa, we believe they're the best chips you can buy.  From our family to yours, enjoy!
