Est. in the Mohawk Valley
We make apparel for the music and festival crowd, small-batch beeswax goods, and a hot sauce that started as a family recipe. Everything made close to home, in runs small enough that we still touch every piece.
What we make
Wyld Roots is the umbrella. Under it sit the clothes, the beeswax goods, and Root Sauce — all built around the same idea: make it properly, or don't make it.
01 / Apparel
Shirts, hats, and patches built for the local music and festival scene — the kind of gear that survives a muddy field and still looks right at the bar afterward.
02 / Beeswax
Beeswax done the slow way — candles, beard oil, and skin and hair products made in small batches with ingredients we can name.
03 / Root Sauce
Our flagship food line, starting with Habanero Peach. Sweet meets heat, built on real fruit and real peppers.
The flagship
Peaches, habanero, garlic, vinegar. That's most of it. Sweet up front, then the pepper catches up with you — a smooth-burning heat that doesn't wreck the flavor on the way through.
Named for the roots we came from, and for a name Utica has been carrying for a long time.

Our story
Wyld Roots is Andrew Root and Nicole Aldi, working out of the Mohawk Valley. Nicole is a master seamstress with close to a decade in professional apparel production. Andrew has spent a lifetime playing guitar and building things.
That combination is the whole company: a workshop's worth of sewing knowledge, and a reason to use it. We make the clothes we wanted to wear, the candles we wanted to burn, and a hot sauce good enough to put the family name on.
We do things the hard way, in small runs, and we'd rather tell you what's in something than talk around it.
Wholesale, custom runs, band merch, or just a question about a bottle — email is the fastest way to reach us.
