Where heat meets sweet!
Meet Leanne
Hi, I’m Leanne – the producer behind The Hairy Cow.
We took over the business in 2018 when we moved to the area and wanted to find a way to connect with our community. What better way than through our passion for good food! My husband and I run this little business from our home in Denbarker WA. While I love to cook, my husband’s green thumb helps keep things fresh in the kitchen. From small beginnings, we’ve been able to grow this little business to what it is today.
We turn beautiful fresh produce into a variety of unique hot sauces, condiments, jams and relishes. We’re not about shortcuts or preservatives, it’s about real ingredients, big flavour and creating something you’ll savour. Whether you’re a chilli veteran or a spice-newbie, we hope we can add a little spark to your kitchen!
The Hairy Cow Story
Why “Hairy Cow”? After taking the reins from our friends Tash and Jim, we decided to keep the brand name inspired by Norman, Tash & Jim’s pet Hairy Cow!
Norman remains our much loved mascot but has since retired and now enjoys eating and relaxing on a small property in Albany WA.
What Makes Us Different
-
Fresh and local produce
Most of our ingredients are either grown on our farm or sourced locally. We try to support other small businesses in the Great Southern and wider Perth region keeping it fresh and local wherever possible.
-
Handcrafted with care
Making sauces and condiments by hand means we get to keep an eye on every step - from blending to bottle. Each batch is prepared, cooked and bottled with care – giving you fresh flavour that stands out.
-
Locally rooted, globally flavourful
While based in WA, our sauces draw on flavour influences from around the world – a fiery habanero hot sauce inspired by Asian flavours infused with garlic, ginger and orange.
-
Quality first
No needless additives or preservatives, minimal fuss – you can recognise every ingredient in our products with no numbers attached! We’re all about good food made the way they should be, simple.
