Now Shipping Fresh Peppers!

      We are now shipping fresh hot peppers! We are kicking it off with Habaneros. Grab a box filled with all the Habanero varieties we grow. The amount of each will depend on what is ready for harvest when you order. If you are looking for one specific type, get in contact with us and make sure it is available before you order. We will do custom boxes too whenever possible! The mix includes the milder and more flavorful Numex Suave Orange, the traditional orange Helios and red Hot Paper Lantern, the large Giant Habaneros, and the hotter Devil's Tongue and Scotch Bonnet peppers. This is a great way to try them all! It is an excellent mix of flavor, heat and color that is sure to please the Habanero lover. Use them for whatever you wish!

Small Box of Habaneros


     Our fresh pepper boxes come in two sizes: USPS Small Flat Rate Box and USPS Medium Flat Rate Box. We don't count the peppers, but instead stuff the box as full as we can. The Small box is usually around 28-35 peppers depending on size, while we can get 90+ peppers in the Medium box. We chose these sizes for the ability to ship. Priority Mail is necessary to get the peppers to you quick to ensure freshness. Flat Rate provides the best, most cost-efficient option for our buyers. We will be shipping out Monday through Wednesday most weeks to ensure that your peppers don't sit in a hot warehouse somewhere unless you live close enough for us to ship later in the week. If you need the peppers really quick, please contact us to make sure we are ready to pick and ship before you order. We will fill orders as the peppers ripen.

     Below is a picture to help you identify your Habanero peppers when they arrive if you feel the need to tell them apart. 

What's included in the Habanero boxes


     We are so excited to unveil this new option to our customers. Our first orders are already away. Visit our Shop page for online order options through Etsy and eBay. Cost is $22 for the Small box, $60 for the Medium box with all shipping charges included. We can ship to anywhere in the U.S., including Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. Pick-up from the farm is available for all of our varieties and fresh produce. Of course we will remove the shipping charges for pick-up orders. More options coming soon!

Sweet & Spice Make Everything Nice

 Our summer sweet & spicy jams are ready! We have Pineapple-Mango Habanero, Peach-Jalapeno and Dragon's Toe Pepper Jam in stock and ready to go out the door. 


     Pineapple-Mango Habanero is one of our most popular options year after year. And for good reason. It is super sweet behind the pineapple and mango, then slides in a smooth heat from our most flavorful Habaneros.


     Peach-Jalapeno is the classic sweet & spicy combo. It's a smooth jam with a sweet peach flavor with an undertone of heat from the Jalapenos. This one is a great option to start with if the thought of a spicy jam sounds scary. It's mild and will make you rethink your fear of hot peppers.


     Last, but not least is the Dragon's Toe Pepper Jam. Our Toe Jam is made with the same recipe as last year's relish dipping sauce. We tweeked the cooking method a bit to improve the consistency to be closer to a true pepper jam. It's thicker than last year when it debuted, but still packs the same mild heat from the tasty Dragon's Toe Peppers and brings the sweet with our finest Lunchbox and Escamillo peppers. Thsi is another great option for you first pepper jam.


     All peppers used in these jams were grown right here on our farm so we know they are clean, organic, high quality ingredients. Try them out now. Shop online from our Shop page and have them shipped to your doorstep. Or contact us if you are local to make a curbside pickup from the farm.

     More info on all of our jams and jellies is available on the Jams/Jellies/Sauces page.

Farm Update 7-8-20

     It's been a while since our last farm update. Things are going great thanks to all of you! We cannot believe the amount of growth we have seen in sales and interest in our farm since we opened in 2016. We were afraid COVID-19 would hault our spring sales, but we saw much growth as compared to last year. We literally couldn't make Violet Jelly and Dandelion Jelly fast enough! Thank you to all who purchased from us from March through now. Our farm family experienced major reductions in our hours and pay with our "normal" jobs so the farm income actually helped us to pay the bills. We cannot state how grateful we are for this help during the time when our family needed it the most.

     Pepper harvest in 2019 was massive! We no longer measure by counting the peppers. We measured in buckets picked. It was tough to keep up with in the fall, but we managed and have some ideas on how to make things a little easier on us this year. We have again expanded as the demand for our peppers continues to increase, especially for Habaneros, Ghost, Scorpion and Carolina Reaper Peppers. The majority of our peppers continue to supply Uncle Paul's Pepper Powder. Uncle Paul sold bottles of his delicious rub all over the country and even beyond our borders to Canada and the UK! We can't believe some of our peppers end up across the pond in the UK! Give his powder a try if you haven't already. He has several different flavors. When you buy from him, you are supporting us. We can get you in touch with him if you are interested in getting some pepper powder to try.

Devil's Tongue Peppers


     All of your pepper favorites will be back in 2020, inclduing Cayenne, Jalapeno, Anaheim Chili, Thai, several Habanero varieties, Ghost, Peach Ghost, Trinidad Scorpion and Carolina Reaper. We will also be adding the Datil pepper, a tasty pepper from Florida that is highly sought after by those that know how it tastes. We will offer our peppers fresh and dried again this year, with options to become available this summer for shipping the fresh peppers. It's something we have been working on for some time now and are determined to make it happen in 2020. 

     As stated above, our spring jams and jellies have been a hit. We will bring back some favorites later this summer like Peach, Peach-Jalapeno, Ghost Pepper, Mint and Pineapple-Mango Habanero. We also plan to offer a Carolina Reaper Pepper option, along with some Raspberry variations as we finally grew our raspberry patch big enough to be able to use them. We are open to ideas for new options so send us any you might have!




     We added Seeds to our offerings this spring and it was HUGE success. We have been moving more toward harvesting and planting our own seeds for two reasons. One is that it is more cost-efficient. Two is that we have had more success germinating our own seeds than those we have bought from vendors. We decided to offer up some of our extras after our first round of planting and the response was overwhelming. We sold everything we had available, literally hundreds of seed packets. Every single packet sold. Our customers had great success with germinating the seeds so we plan to continue offering seeds in the future.

Seeds


     Pickles and Garlic will also remain part of our offerings in 2020. You can start pre-ordering pickles in the next few weeks. Our Garlic is starting to become available. It's all been harvested and is hanging to dry. We will post additional varieties as they become ready. We also plan to offer Luffa Gourds in the late fall. We have grown luffas the past two years. They are great in the garden, attracting many bees. The gourds can be peeled to reveal a luffa sponge inside. We have used the sponges from the first two years around the farm and feel like now we are ready to share with everyone else. The sponges work great for washing things. We use them to scrub vegetables after picking, to wash dishes, clean buckets and tools, and even in the shower! They get softer them more you use them. It's hard to beat a natural sponge that comes straight from the garden. We hope you will give them a try when they become available.

     We are also contiuing to build up our apple trees, blueberry bushes and flowers. We hope to be able to use the apples and blueberries in future products. The flowers are mainly to attract pollinators, which has worked really well thus far. We have many more bees around the farm now than when we first moved here.

Beautiful lilly that bloomed for the first time this year.

     So everything is in the ground and growing strong! Now comes the hardest part... the waiting! We will provide more updates this summer and fall as things become available. Again, we are very thankful to all of you who visit our page and try our items. You have not only supported the farm, but also our family during these past few months. Thank you!
