Funky's Hot Sauce Factory

Funky's Hot Sauce Factory is an award-winning artisanal hot sauce manufacturer based in Bellingham, Washington, founded by Matthew Mini in 2019. The company gained national recognition in 2022 by winning the 'Screaming MiMi 2022 Grand World Champion' award at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo and was featured on the popular show 'Hot Ones' with their Stellar Fuzz sauce in the #3 slot. Funky's produces over 15 unique hot sauce varieties ranging from mild Wild Child to scorching Seeing Stars, all crafted with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients from Pacific Northwest farms including Southern Exposure Family Farm, Boldly Grown Farm, and Broomstick Farm. The company is committed to quality with 100% Non-GMO, mostly organic ingredients, offering vegan and gluten-free options. In 2023, they expanded to a new kitchen and retail space in Bellingham's Haskell business park and acquired Trilby's BBQ Sauce and Seasonings. Their products are distributed across numerous retail locations throughout the Pacific Northwest and nationally, serving both specialty food retailers and direct consumers through their e-commerce platform. The company emphasizes sustainable practices, local sourcing, and community engagement while delivering bold, balanced flavors for heat enthusiasts and culinary professionals in the consumer packaged goods industry.
