The amusing part is that the garden is in a cemetery so ghost peppers are quite befitting. Anna's friends and family kept asking her when she would be selling her incredible hot sauces. As Anna points out, "Goodlands creates colorful seasonal inspired hot sauces for people who love flavor." These are hot sauces that will make your food taste even better.
