Our Story~

​​

Back in 1983, I attended my first Rib Cook-Off. The ribs were mouthwatering, but the variety of sauces truly captured my imagination. From spicy to smoky and those with just the right touch of sweetness, it was during this event that I had my BBQ Sauce Epiphany. Though I didn't know it then, I was setting off on a decades-long journey of crafting, refining, and perfecting my small, hand-batch Sauces & Seasonings.

Fast forward to recent years, when a beloved family member was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s dementia. Faced with balancing flexible hours for caregiving and maintaining an income, I found inspiration in starting the Indigo Lake Sauce Company. This venture gave me the cherished opportunity to spend more time with my loved one while also allowing me to share my passion with all of you.

We recently endured the profound loss of this beloved family member. I remain eternally thankful for the moments Indigo Lake Sauce afforded me to be by her side, cherishing every memory we shared.

In her honor, and in appreciation of the support we’ve received from our community, a portion of all sales continues to be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association. We are grateful to share our sauces and seasonings with you, each batch made with love and remembrance.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. - Mark
