> Founded by Ash in 2021, Not Bad Cooks emerged from pandemic creativity with encouragement from friends and family. Ash explains the origin: 'ash spent most of the pandemic in the kitchen creating our sauce line & we hope you are glad she did.' The company exclusively sells their sauces locally throughout Colorado, maintaining a strong farmers market presence across the state. They operate at multiple weekend markets including Saturday markets at City Park in Denver, Longmont, and Golden, plus Sunday markets at South Pearl in Denver and Lafayette. During off-season months, their products are stocked at select retail partners including Leevers Locavore, Leven Supply, Tom's Seafood, and various local meat markets. The company embraces a casual, approachable brand identity reflected in their tagline 'sauce up your not bad life' and their anti-spam approach to customer engagement: 'no spam in this kitchen. just ordering & saucey updates.' Not Bad Cooks started in 2021 after encouragement from friends & family, bringing Colorado-made sauces to local markets and specialty food retailers.
