Our Story
Our story all began with a crazy and kind kid named Luke, who absolutely loved Rhinos so much that he wanted to save them from extinction. Luke would even ask his friends to bring donations to his birthday parties in lieu of gifts.
One day, his mom, Traci, who was famous for her creamy cilantro sauce, had a bright idea; "Let's start selling Diablo Verde to raise even more money to save Rhinos!" It was such a huge hit that Luke's brothers, Ayden and George, joined in to fulfill the family's vision of making the world better through entrepreneurship!
Grand Prize in HEB's Quest for Texas Best
In a little over three years the company has won numerous awards, including Grand Champion for HEB’s Quest for Texas Best, raised over $15,000 and brought awareness to the issue affecting the rhino species.
Diablo Verde is now carried in over 530 stores across the country with one located in Honduras and another in Togo and Tobago! Along with that, 3SonsFoods has a successful e-commerce presence with plans to continue their wholesale market expansion nationally.
Now, 3SonsFoods is excited to be launching their newest sauce, Diablo Vegan! Diablo Vegan is a vegan version of the beloved Diablo Verde sauce with proceeds going towards Wolf Conservation, something Ayden is very passionate about. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Saint Francis Wolf Sanctuary where wolves are rescued and given compassionate care throughout their lives.
