Celebrating Our First Season Growing Peppers in the High Tunnel and What Comes Next

As we close the chapter on this growing season, it’s hard not to feel a sense of accomplishment. Our first year growing peppers in the high tunnel has been a journey filled with challenges, learning, and fantastic results. We sincerely thank everyone who has cheered us on. Your support has motivated us to push our limits and embrace the joy of cultivating these vibrant, spicy peppers.

Superhot peppers thriving inside a high tunnel in 2025

This year has taught us so much. The high tunnel created a controlled environment—like a greenhouse—allowing our peppers to bloom beautifully. We have enjoyed the fiery Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpions and Carolina Reapers, each variety adding its unique charm and flavor to our farm.

A Season of Growth, First Season in High Tunnel

Growing peppers in a high tunnel has truly transformed our approach. We have seen a increase in our yield compared to outdoor farming. The high tunnel not only protected our plants from harsh weather but also extended our growing season by about 6 weeks. Watching our peppers flourish has made the long hours of planting and caring for them incredibly rewarding.

Limited Quantities of Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpions

As the season winds down, we are left with a limited supply of our Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpions. These peppers have gained a loyal fan base for a reason: they carry a striking heat that can register up to 1,000,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units) combined with a fruity sweetness.

We are offering these exceptional peppers in two convenient sizes: 1/2 lb. boxes and 3 lb. boxes. This could be your chance to ignite your meals with their unique flavor profile. Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your culinary creations!

Preparing for Next Year

While we conclude this season, we are already looking toward the future. Preparing the soil is essential for continued success in pepper cultivation. By incorporating organic compost, we aim to enhance soil health and biodiversity. This includes taking soil tests to assess nutrient levels and adjusting our mix to maintain proper drainage.

Investing in these preparations can lead to even better yields next season. For instance, farms practicing these sustainable methods often report a 20-30% improvement in plant vigor and fruit quality.

Don't Worry, We've Got You Covered!

If you didn’t have the chance to grab our Fresh peppers, there’s still good news. We offer an assortment of pepper powders, which carry the essence of our peppers. These powders are perfect for seasoning your dishes or as gifts for friends who appreciate bold flavors.

Our customers have mentioned how our pepper powders add that perfect kick to their favorite recipes. For example, using just a teaspoon of our ghost pepper powder can elevate a simple chili recipe, giving it a delightful spicy edge.

Grow Your Own Heat

For those inspired to pursue their gardening passion, we are excited to offer seeds from our successful pepper varieties. Each seed packet is chosen based on the strengths displayed in our high tunnel. Whether you are a gardening novice or an experienced grower, these seeds can help you produce peppers that rival our farm’s harvest.

Looking Ahead

With the lessons learned this year, we are eager about the upcoming growing season. Our commitment to refining our techniques and discovering new pepper varieties only fuels our excitement. We want to continue delivering the finest products to our customers and cannot wait to share what next year has in store.

Thank you for being part of our farming journey. Your enthusiasm for our peppers does not go unnoticed. We look forward to providing more fresh produce, spicy powders, and seeds for your gardening endeavors in the future.
