About Us

Plant Some Kindness is owned and operated by the husband-and-wife team of Jason and Rachel Duhamell. The name of the business came from our love to help others. Jason is a Registered Nurse and uses his love of taking care of people to grow and nurture plants, he is the primary pepper grower. Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker by trade uses her passion for helping people to help nurture flowers in her pollinator garden. Her well-groomed and maintained pollinator garden helps the pepper plants by providing a nice area for beneficial insects such as bees, butterflies, praying mantis, hummingbirds and lady bugs to help pollinate the pepper plants and keep the damaging insects away. Both Jason and Rachel love working in their garden, Jason grows peppers. His favorites are the California Reaper and the sugar rush peach. Rachel loves her flowers, her favorite flowers are zinnias, purple cone flowers and snap dragons

Plant Some Kindness began in 2022 as a small farmers market operation selling air plants, custom succulents, peppers, and unique growing supplies. We slowly started expanding the product line over the years and in 2024 we added hot sauces. We started growing hot peppers our first season with just a few plants, 2023 we expanded to 65 pepper plants of about 10 different varieties. In 2024 we took a giant leap and added more peppers and more varieties. Currently we have 148 pepper plants with over 80 varieties, these range from mild to super-hot. With all these peppers came a problem, what do we do with all of them? Plant Some Kindness hot sauce was born out of necessity. We became cottage license certified through the state and local health departments and began selling our hot sauces. We currently have 5 varieties of hot sauces as our signature line, they are: Jalapeno Verde, Peach Habanero, Pineapple/Mango Habanero, Berry Scotch Bonnet, Smokey Hot, Smokey Mild, Garlic Serrano, Red Flame Cayenne, Pineapple Reaper and our hottest Tears of Satan, which is in its 8th version. We also add limited sauces to the lineup when different peppers are ripe. We also use the peppers in a variety of different ways. Homemade smoked salts with the addition of dried pepper flakes, we currently offer jalapeno, habanero, and Carolina reaper smoked salts. We also sell dried pepper flakes, these come from the not so pretty peppers or those that have bad spots and cannot be sold, they are dried into flakes and saved. During growing season, we sell fresh pods and ship all over the United States. In 2024 we shipped over 200 boxes of peppers nationwide. During farmers market season Rachel makes delicious jalapeno cheesy bread and jalapeno cookie bars. One of the biggest parts of our business is seeds. All of the peppers we grow, and buy are de seeded and the seeds are then saved to grow the next season or sold to other growers, we currently have 100 different varieties in his personal supply and 100 varieties for sale all the time. The 2025 season will be even bigger with close to 300 plants with 100 varieties. These practices make Plant Some Kindness a completely self-sustainable business
