Hawkwind LLC, “Where Nature and Human Beings Meet in Passionate Conversation®” Award-winning Artisanal Mustards and Relish Infused with Enchantment. Grown and crafted on-site at our Alternative Farm and Licensed Kitchen in the Baraboo Bluffs.
Hawkwind is a family owned and operated business in Baraboo, WI. They make their mustard and relish products by hand using ingredients grown on site without the use of herbicides and pesticides.
On June 8, RMC board members Charlotte Meyer and Joan Schilling traveled to Hawkwind and visited with owners Don and Deb Lawyer. Don and Deb’s Hawkwind enterprises include counseling, alternative healing using depth psychology and an adventure challenge course for team-building for businesses and groups. Food products are an expanding part of their endeavors. Don explained that Hawkwind follows the principle of intentional living, recognizes that everything in the world is interdependent, and grows their foods in a co-creative process with nature.
RMC is proud to offer two of Hawkwind’s product lines: Clem’s Hot Pepper Mustard and Clem’s Hot Pepper Relish.
For June Dairy Month, Don shared the following simple recipes using the Hawkwind products along with the other ingredients proudly sold at RMC:

Combine smoked salmon, creamed cheese, and Clem’s Hot Pepper Relish. Spread on crackers or bread.
Sauce for asparagus and other vegetables:
Bring 3 tablespoons of butter to a rapid boil. Add 1 tablespoon of Clem’s Hot Pepper Mustard and whisk until blended. Pour over the asparagus or selected vegetables.
