About TongeLand Farm
Welcome to Tongeland — where a love for the land meets the heart of the city.
Founded in Chicago’s Jefferson Park neighborhood, Tongeland is a backyard farm with big roots. Born from a family tradition of gardening and a deep desire to live sustainably, Tongeland brings the richness of the countryside into the rhythm of urban life.
We specialize in small-batch, handcrafted chili pepper products — from vibrant dried spice blends and infused honeys to pickled vegetables and pepper jams. Every item we create is a celebration of flavor, culture, and care. Grown with intention, processed with integrity, and shared with pride, our products connect people to their food and community.
Tongeland is more than just a farm — it’s a movement. We’re committed to:
Zero-waste innovation: Maximizing every harvest to create multiple products with minimal waste.
Food equity: Donating surplus produce and sharing knowledge with local nonprofits and community partners.
Education & empowerment: Hosting workshops and garden tours to inspire the next generation of growers and makers.
Whether sprinkling our smoked chili salt on your dinner or learning how to start a pepper plant from seed, you're part of something bigger.
We're growing more than just peppers — we’re growing possibilities.

Whether you’re elevating a homemade soup, building a savory broth, or adding complexity to your roasted veggies, these flakes are your secret weapon. Sprinkle into sautés, stir into grains, or blend into spice rubs — a little goes a long way.
