Morphing
The year is nearly done and it is busy around here.
We are morphing slightly - still producing the salad greens but have stopped growing carrots etc for the local farmers markets. We are using the time to build our range of sauce/chutney/jam and our new dehydrated products.
It is exciting using our herbs,chillies, fruit etc to produce a range of flavoured salts, chilli powders, seasoning blends and dry rubs. Lots of trial and error. I am glad we have so many willing taste testers among friends, family and customers.
So far there are 3 flavoured salts loaded on the web site, 2 chilli powders and 1 chilli seasoning blend. We have got chicken rub (3 heat levels cool, spicy & hot) trialed at the local markets and nearly ready for release onto the website. There is a hot version of our habanero /lime salt on the way soon. Most local markets for the last few weeks we have had requests for different flavoured salts and rubs so have lots of options to work through.
This year we are growing 38 varieties of chillies ranging from a mild 2,500 SHU through to firey 2,000,000 SHU. Lots of experimenting this year with chilli flavours - I am so looking forward to it. We have also planted a row of sweet paprika capsicums so we can make our own paprika (the flavour was amazing last time I made it YUMMM)
We have had virtually all the annual markets we had been booked in to attend cancelled due to covid so really hoping that the ones in the new year can go ahead.
