Russell Wagner, who along with wife Meagan Wagner is participating in the launch program, said that not having access to a commercial kitchen was the biggest obstacle they faced while trying to start their business Mr. Salsa.
The Wagners’ company will provide fresh, cold, ready-to-eat salsas that Wagner said he envisions being sold in refrigerated sections at grocery stores and farmers markets.
Wagner describes himself as someone who has always been a “pepper head” — he made his first habanero sauce at age 11 — and who has a passion for fresh foods.
