'DANG!!! Hot Sauce' & Archi's Acres Featured Nationally

Archi's Acres & DANG!!! Hot Sauce was featured on the Hugh Hewitt Entrepreneur hour Thursday.

Mike Hanes, founder of DANG!!! Hot Sauce and I were featured on the Hugh Hewitt Entrepreneur hour Thursday during afternoon rush hour traffic.  

You may have read about Mike Hanes last week on Patch. He is the Force Recon Marine Veteran who went from  of Forager Mikes Superfoods, DANG!!! Hot Sauce. 

Colin and I met Mike at the Earth day fair in 2009, only to have the opportunity to get to know him and talk him into taking our Veterans Sustainable Agriculture Training (VSAT) class at Archi’s Acres.  It only took 2 years to talk him into it.   But look at Mike now!  He is now on Radio telling a national audience he is ready to sell DANG!!! Nationwide.  We are so proud of how far he has come, making a name for himself in the Organic food industry.  Was great to be there together!  Stay tuned for more success from Mike and the many other VSAT Graduates!
