Crack Fox hot sauces and condiments have been moulded by this region of rainbows - it's landscape, it's subtropical climate, it's rich volcanic soil, it's people.
Let’s meet a few local legends ~ the growers and producers we support in making our spicy magic.
Good Natured Gardening
Caretaker (and Queen) of: the Crack Fox chilli plot
Location: Byron Bay
Likes
I try to keep the things I like simple and within reach every day. Things that really get me stoked include being out in nature before dawn, flannel sheets on cold wintry days, hot soggy chippies, snuggly dogs, eating and sharing food from my garden or farm, my morning coffee, making little animals from clay, growing flowers and arranging them in bunches, mucking about with worm farms, and simply watching my plants grow. I could happily look at them all day.
Dislikes
Some of my choice dislikes include having to visit any big shopping centre for any reason, I find them so depressing. I can’t handle the heat of summer, I fume when I get served a bad coffee and I get super crotchety if I have to listen to radio or TV advertising.
If you could take the seeds from one plant you grow on your farm to a deserted island which would it be and why?
It’s a toss-up between potatoes and coffee. I could survive quite contentedly on a deserted island on a diet of fish and chippies. So, seed potatoes would be my first pick with coffee beans a very close second – if I could have both I’d be sorted!
Growers of our: tomatoes, jalapenos
Location: Duranbah
Jumping Red Ant

Likes
Running, flowers, home cooked meals with friends & family, travelling, walks on the beach with my partner & dog panda. Give me a good podcast or book & I’m happy.
Dislikes
Weeds, extremely hot summer days when working, nut grass, hoons.
If you could take the seeds from one plant you grow on your farm to a deserted island which would it be and why?
I would most likely take sweet potato as they are great producers, fill you up and contain vitamins, potassium, magnesium & the leaves are edible too!

The beessss, they are the most incredible species, forever in awe and learning from them.
Dislikes
The bees. The stings don’t get easier.
If you could take one type of honey you produce to a deserted island which would it be and why?
The highest grade of Manuka Honey we offer (1500+). Get burnt, sick, cut, stung on the island? That stuff will cure you instantly. Get hungry? Yum!
Thoughts from Allie, Sales and Marketing.
