Mega Hots

Last call for our hottest peppers available! We have small amounts of Ghost (Bhut Jolokia) and Trinidad Scorpion (Butch T) peppers available. These are among the hottest peppers in the world so be sure you know what you are getting before you buy. Most of these leave the farm and are turned into powdered mixes and seasonings, but we do have some that we will sell to anyone wanting to sample the bite of these fiery peppers, or maybe wanting to make a big pot of spicy soup!


Ghosts sell for 4/$1 and Scorpions are currently 2/$1 until they are gone.

If anyone has any peppers they would like us to grow for next season, please let us know. We have had interest in Carolina Reapers, Scotch Bonnets and other varieties of Ghosts. Whether you just want a handful of peppers to try or need a few pounds for a special recipe, we can help you out through our Growing Services program. Visit the page for more info.

End of the Season Approaches

The weather forecast looks to be bringing in frost and freezing temperatures this weekend, so it will likely be the end of our summer growing season. We will likely be out of all summer veggies by the end of next week, so better get some while you still can! Cooler crops like Swiss chard will likely continue to be available.

This cold snap will also likely cause the Soldier Fly Grubs to become dormant and unavailable. This time of year they will go in/out of dormancy and we can only pull them out for sales when they are active on warm days. Availability will be hit-or-miss in November, then they will become completely unavailable from December through most of March.



We have planted more winter crops like Brussels sprouts, onions, snap peas, spinach and other greens which will start to become available in a few weeks. Garlic is also in the ground for a late-Spring harvest. We will have the same three varieties we had this year (Blanak, Chesnok Red and Music), plus the giant Elephant Garlic. After we harvest and dry them the bulbs should be available around the end of June to early-July. We hope to be able to ship the bulbs next year so if you don't live locally you can still try some of our garlic!

Uncle Paul's Pepper Powder

Here is an example of where some of our peppers end up.


Uncle Paul's Pepper Powder is an organic blend of hot peppers which come from right here on our farm. They are a part of our Growing Services program and request us to grow exactly what they need for the chipotle blend. If you make your own seasoning, sauce or rub, we can help you too. Our Growing Services program is now open for the Spring/Summer 2018 growing season. Contact us with your specific needs and we can discuss handling the growing part for you next year. You can provide the seeds/plants to us, or we can get them for you.

We do not sell Uncle Paul's Pepper Powder here, but if you are interested in obtaining some we would be glad to point you in the right direction. It is some tasty stuff! It typically sells for around $8 a bottle and comes straight from the local producer.

Soldier Grubs

     Soldier fly grubs will be going dormant in about a month. Be sure to get them now for Fall fishing trips, feeding pets or starting a compost pile. We have plenty right now, but numbers will start to dwindle as the weather cools down.

We Have a Roadside Stand!

Today was our first morning having the roadside stand set up. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and had a look at our veggies. We plan to be open again tomorrow afternoon around 3-6. Watch Facebook for more details. Our stand site is located at the corner of Hwy 41A and H Harris Rd (across from Oaklawn Rd) just west of Pleasant View. We have plenty to offer with sweet peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, okra, garlic, pickles and more! Not only is our produce home-grown and fresh, but our prices are great too. Come check us out!





We hope to be open 1-2 half-days per week, most likely at the end of the week and maybe some Saturdays. Watch our Facebook page for the latest updates.
