Hot Pepper Update

     Our hot peppers are out in full force! We have several new varieties this year, including the milder Thairano (hybrid of Thai and Serrano), medium Thai, Devil's Tongue, and the really hot Carolina Reaper. We also have our staples again this year in the Trinidad Scorpion, Ghost Bhut Jolokia, Habaneros, Cayennes, Poblanos and Jalapenos. They will all be available fresh until the first frost, which might be soon looking at the forecast, and many will be available dried as well.

     We also have a few Anaheim Chilis. The chilis struggled a lot this year. Most of the peppers were very slow growing for the Summer, but all have caught up and producing plenty with the exception of the Anaheims.

     Most of our peppers are going into Uncle Paul's Pepper Powder, made right here in middle Tennessee. Paul has a new mix this year called Dragon Fire, which features Ghost, Scorpion and Reaper peppers. If you would like to try some of his mixes let us know and we can put you in contact with him. It is great stuff! Excellent flavor with a good bite of heat.

    As always, contact us with any of your pepper needs. We can offer them fresh or dried and ship most of our products nationwide. If you are in need of larger quantities like Uncle Paul uses, please contact us with your needs for next year as we are looking to expand the hot pepper program.
