Smoky Mountain Spice Factory

 
 

We manufacture handcrafted smoked spices from peppers grown on our farm in Knoxville. We don’t use any herbicides, pesticides, or even fertilizers, other than compost. We hand plant, hand weed, hand pick, hand wash, and hand process all of our peppers. Our custom process of smoking peppers using blends of local hardwood imparts a very unique smoky aroma and taste not found in other spices. Our spices do not contain any additives, preservatives, fillers, anticaking agents, or artificial coloring. We pride ourselves on producing a naturally grown product that our customers can trust. We offer 18 unique spices, seasonings and rubs with five different heat levels to choose from.

Our mission is to inspire confidence in a better future for you and for our planet. One thing that makes us unique is that we love incorporating brands that are certified Benefit Corporations (B Corps). Alongside carrying many B Corp brands, we also carry many smaller brands that are sustainably made in the US, are fair trade, or are locally made right here in Knoxville. Our local artisans and makers give Minimal Optimist a downtown/ local vibe without having to travel far.

Woven and textile art and oil paintings

While traveling in Morocco I was inspired by its ancient textile traditions. I learned to sew while there and have since taught myself to weave on a variety of looms, some custom made. My works are sold as wall hangings, blankets, rugs, or made-to-order commissions. All are composed of natural fibers. On my site I also sell handmade Moroccan goods including textile, leather, and ceramics sourced from responsible organizations.
