Member Spotlight: Treats by T – The Pepper People

Have you met Trudi Lloyd & Tom Hinman of Treats by T – The pepper people? They’re our CVG Member Spotlight of the week!

Trudi and Tom (the husband and wife team that owns and operates Treats by T) create delicious ghost pepper sauce using home grown peppers for a perfect balance of sweet and a little heat. What started as a passion for baking/cooking and sharing treats with coworkers (along with a quest to create a great hot pepper jam) led Trudi to create Treats by T.

Also known as The Pepper People, Trudi and Tom harvest from their garden in Northfield the day peppers ripen and set to work making small batches of sauce to craft the freshest product available. Trudi and Tom also create ‘smoked peach habanero jam’ and flavored salts (using fresh ingredients from their garden blended into kosher salt) to give your favorite foods a kick. They even offer a ‘x-tra hot ghost pepper sauce’ for folks who may be looking for a bit more heat 🔥 . Their products can be purchased at stores throughout Minnesota or online via their website.

With snow on the ground and cold weather in the forecast, couldn’t we all use a little more heat in our lives 😉 ? Go check out Treats by T – The pepper people and give their tasty creations a try!
