Description
Make your own mouth-watering pulled pork sandwiches with this handcrafted small-batch Applewood Chipotle Rub (see the recipe below). And as a bonus: this blend is made without all the preservatives and fillers found in store-bought spice mixes! Each net wt. 2 oz. package contains basic spices and natural flavorings.
Created by Chris & Liz Hendrickson of Teas, Tinctures & Tonics (North Bend), utilizing local, farm-fresh ingredients that go into their dehydrator or freeze dryer and are then stored in glass jars until package for retail. Not only do they procure their ingredients as often as possible from local farms, they also grow many of the ingredients themselves, utilizing both soil and hydroponic methods at their micro farm.
There are no anti-caking agents, fillers, or preservatives in these blends. The Hendricksons go by the old saying, ” If you can’t grow it or farm it, you probably shouldn’t eat it!”
