Hot!

In the spirit of growing the unusual we are expanding our varities of hot peppers. Last year we offered the orange Habanero (300,000 Scoville units) – weak on the heat scale compared to what we are planting this year. Just a few varieties we plan to grow in addition to the Habanero: Trinidad Scorpion (1 million Scoville units), Bahut Jolokia from India (1.5 million Scoville units), Yucatan White (500,000 Scoville units) + a few others.

Send heat freaks our way in August. Hot peppers are free if eaten in front of John at the market – must be 18 or older!

Hot peppers freeze and pickle well – a great way to enjoy them all winter long.

CSA members will be offered a choice of hot peppers (yup, peppers are fruit) or non-Bell sweet types.
