We had the good fortune of connecting with Nathanael Nunemaker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nathanael, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I look at risks as an investment. I usually have that gut feeling when a risk is right or wrong and I’ll always follow my gut and take the risk.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My name is Nate Nunemaker, and I founded Farmer Nate’s Sauce in November 2021 after discovering my passion for growing food and striving for self-sufficiency. My mission is to create unique and flavorful sauces and seasonings that spark conversation at the dinner table, elevate any meal, and inspire people in their cooking. Today, our products are available in over 45 stores and featured in 7 restaurants. I’ve bootstrapped the business every step of the way. While it hasn’t been easy, I’ve learned that resilience and finding solutions to every challenge are the keys to success.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m based in Covington, KY, just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. If I had friends visiting, I’d start by taking them to one of the many amazing food spots in the city for lunch. Afterward, we’d visit the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), a fantastic free contemporary art museum. Another must-see is the historic Mercantile Library in Cincinnati, which is always a cool spot to explore. From there, we’d head a little south to the charming river town of Rabbit Hash. To wrap up the day, we’d return to Covington for dinner at a great spot called AmerAsia.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My wife Natalie and of course other friends & family
