O’Baby BBQ, based in the small town of Dawson, Georgia, was founded in 2013 by Travis and Kristen Sawyer. Travis has been making barbecue sauce for years for family and friends. It wasn’t until Kristen came into the picture that the sauce would be complete. Kristen’s eye for graphic design complimented Travis’ love of bbq perfectly. So after careful consideration, planning, and a lot of praying, we decided that we would pursue this new adventure.
In 2014, something amazing happened... we felt that we were being called to explore adoption through foster care. After going through all the necessary training, background checks, home inspections, and all other requirements, we were eventually placed with two wonderful boys, David and Alex. The adoption process was one of the most challenging things we have ever experienced, so we ended up putting the bbq sauce business on hold for a while. We made it through and finalized our adoption in 2017. In 2019, after a couple of years of adjusting to our new life as a family of four, we decided it was time to bring back O’Baby BBQ.
