Our Story Β· Schenectady, NY

The Idea’s Been Marinating For Years.

Backyard Spice Company is a veteran-owned small-batch seasoning company built from years of backyard cookouts, real ingredients, and the belief that food should taste like someone actually cared. No MSG. No fillers. No shortcuts.

How It Started

Built In The Backyard.

Backyard Spice Company started with a simple problem: too many seasonings look good on the shelf but fall flat on the food.

After years of backyard cooking, barbecue weekends, feeding family, and watching people light up after one good bite, the blends we kept making for ourselves turned into something bigger.

We decided to bottle the kind of flavor we actually wanted to cook with β€” bold, balanced, useful, and made with real ingredients.

What We Stand For

Real Flavor. Real Values.

This brand is not built around pretending to be fancy. It is built around making food better and keeping the standard high.

Veteran Owned

Discipline, standards, and pride in execution are part of how we operate β€” not just something we print on a label.

No Lazy Fillers

We focus on real flavor and clean ingredient logic. No MSG, no filler-first thinking, and no shortcuts.

Small Batch

Small-batch production helps us protect freshness, aroma, balance, and the hands-on quality customers expect.

Local Roots

Made in Schenectady, NY with Capital Region pride β€” local enough to know our customers, serious enough to ship nationwide.

Why We Are Different

Not Just Another Spice Label.

The seasoning aisle is crowded. That means we do not win by being louder. We win by being more useful, more memorable, and better on the food.

What We Avoid

  • Blends that taste like mostly salt
  • Labels that promise more than the jar delivers
  • Dusty flavor profiles that sit in the cabinet unused
  • Random products that do not fit how people actually cook
  • Overcomplicated food language that makes cooking feel harder

What We Build

  • Seasonings people can use again and again
  • Flavor that works on weeknight dinners and backyard cookouts
  • Bundles that make sense by cooking mission
  • Small-batch products with a clear reason to exist
  • Premium flavor without making people feel talked down to
Our Promise

Every Jar Has To Earn Its Place.

A seasoning should not be a one-time novelty. It should become the jar you reach for because you know it works.

01

Make The Food Better

Every product starts with the same question: what does this actually improve?

02

Stay Backyard Useful

Chef-level thinking is great. But the seasoning still has to work for burgers, chicken, ribs, eggs, potatoes, seafood, and real home cooking.

03

Keep The Standard High

Small batch, real ingredients, clean execution, and flavor that earns a second jar.
