Real Answers. No Filler.

Backyard Spice Company is a small-batch seasoning brand built around real cooking, not mass-market filler thinking. Our goal is simple: make blends people actually reach for again.

We focus on flavor balance, aroma, texture, and how the seasoning performs on real food — steak, chicken, ribs, burgers, potatoes, seafood, eggs, and backyard meals.

A good starting point is about 1 tablespoon per pound of meat. For bigger flavor, use a heavier coat and season evenly on all sides.

For chicken, burgers, chops, potatoes, and vegetables, season shortly before cooking. For ribs, pork, brisket, or larger cuts, seasoning earlier gives the salt and spices more time to work.

Our standard is no MSG and no intentional filler-first formulas. We build blends around real seasoning logic and repeat-use flavor.

If you have a specific allergy, sensitivity, or dietary concern, contact us before ordering so we can point you toward the best product information.

We do not build our blends around gluten-containing ingredients. However, if you require strict gluten-free certification or have a severe allergy, please contact us before ordering.

That is the responsible answer. We would rather be clear than make a claim that deserves proper verification.

You can find us through local partners, events, and online ordering. Current local channels include Sal’s Quality Market, Bob’s Trees craft fairs, and Emma Jayne’s for cocktail rimmers.
