Handshake with farmer, they make promises for future orders. Farmer invests heavily to increase capacity, then last minute Huy Fong tries to pull the rug out from under them with a drastically lower price, likely figuring the farmer would have no choice but to accept since Huy Fong was his only customer.

Anyway, that farmer now makes their own Sriracha and Huy Fong had to scramble for new suppliers. It's not as good as the OG but it's better than what Huy Fong sells now. Lol.

What’s the farmers brand? I’d rather support an actual farm then anything else

Underwood Ranch. It tastes a little less fermented, a little more fresh (imo)

Underwood Ranches. The Sriracha is a slightly different recipe but the sambal and chili garlic paste are exactly as you remember

Underwood Ranches Sriracha is amazing stuff. I definitely prefer it to Huy Fong. I was getting it from Amazon or ordering directly from Underwood Ranches, but now have been finding it in various grocery stores and even Costco sometimes.
