Producer

Rascal Relish is a small, woman owned and operated business based in Middlesex County, MA. The business name is actually an anagram of my name, Sarah Carlisle, and it just happens to also be a perfect combination of words to reflect my values and passion. RASCAL as in “cheeky,” like my cute mascot Earnest, and RELISH as both the noun meaning “condiment,” “flavor,”and “enjoyment” as well as verb expressing true gustatory pleasure.
Rascal Relish started as a way to share my work as an herbalist, artist, and educator, and has transformed since 2020 into the farmers market CPG business you see now. As we grow, I am committed to keeping my business local: sourcing from farmers I know, and selling to businesses and individuals in my community.

Rascal Relish focuses on producing seasonal craft condiments primarily with an educational mission in mind: by drawing attention to the seasonality of the produce I use, and the farms I source from, I hope to connect consumers to their local food system. I believe that you can taste the summer in my Spiced Tomato Spread, and that it elevates meals not just through flavor but through this connection from plate to jar to farm to soil, sun, and water.
