Greg and Lauren Kessler’s Springs Fireplace line of hot sauces and pepper-based condiments helps heat up the Hamptons’ food scene.
Through a mutual, deeply-rooted love for travel, adventure and food, the Kessler’s have drawn inspiration for their condiments from a cache of cultures. With farm land in Amagansett being utilized to grow their rare and unusual peppers, the Kesslers produce their line of hot sauces and capsaicin condiments. Available for purchase online, Springs Fireplace items are also sold in over 100 locations across the nation, from coast to coast. Take a listen on how the Kesslers became the Hamptons original rare pepper pickers.
