Origin Story
Pepper's co-founders, Jake & Matt, met when they were just 9 years old at sleep-away camp. Over the years, they shared quite a few business ideas but none came to fruition. During the beginning of Quarantine in 2020, Jake & Matt began cooking a lot for their family & friends but wanted a better place to share what they were making. Weeks later, Pepper was born and the rest is history.
