Made in Chattanooga. Yep, that sure has a nice ring to it. From clothing and accessories to snacks and other fun finds, we’ve rounded up 20+ things homegrown in the Scenic City.

Hoff & Pepper
Headquartered at 164 W. 31st St., this brand is known for its “Hoff” sauce. You can find these hot sauces across the globe, but locally at restaurants like Frothy Monkey + retail shops like Locals Only Gifts & Goods.

Fun fact: Hoff & Pepper’s Haus Sauce even made an appearance on season 16 of the popular YouTube series “Hot Ones.”

Noke’s Granola
This artisanal granola company was started locally by brothers Luther and Ryan Cutchins as a way to find a healthier snack alternative. Now, the organic granola is distributed across the country.

Chei-Man Tea
This Chattanooga-based family tea company sells to local coffee shops, restaurants, gift shops, and is available at the Chattanooga Market. Bonus: Try out the chai, pumpkin spice chai, and hot apple chai blends just in time for fall.
