We – Michael and Joy Michaud – specialise in the production of chilli peppers on our west Dorset holding overlooking the English Channel. As the name of the business suggests the produce is sold by mail order. We sell only what we grow, and pride ourselves in producing a quality product. The chillies are always sent out the same day they are picked so, delivery glitches aside, customers receive their chillies just the day after they were growing on the plant, fresher than anything that can be bought in the shops.
If you wish to buy seed try our sister company, Sea Spring Seeds (see www.seaspringseeds.co.uk). Sea Spring Seeds sells seed of Dorset Naga, and several other chilli varieties, including the stunninngly beautiful NuMex Twilight (see picture above) and three unique mini-habanero varieties that we developed ourselves. In addition, we are selling seed of three sweet pepper varieties, three of the very best tasting cherry tomatoes we have ever tried and several other herb and vegetable varieties. We only sell seed of varieties that we have grown ourselves – and can recommend from our own experience. Please note, Sea Spring Seeds is the only company authorised to sell Dorset Naga seed.
Open day
Every year we have an open day to which everyone is invited; this year our open day is on Sunday 22nd August. Visitors will have the chance to walk around our polytunnels and greenhouses and see all the chillies we are growing. The open day is a Pepper by Post and Sea Spring Seeds event, so as well as chillies there will be other vegetable trials on show, including a sweet pepper and a tomato trial in the tunnels, and other vegetables outdoors. Fresh chillies, seeds and potted chilli plants will be available for sale. There will be some talks and cookery demonstrations as well. Do come, it will be a great day! Please bear in mind, though, we are a small market garden and a visit is not likely to be a whole day event. So plan on taking advantage of your trip to West Dorset, it is a beautiful part of the country with lots to see, and we are just a quarter mile from the sea. Please wear appropriate clothes and footwear for the weather. Shows Every year we also attend several shows. So if you live close to one come and say hello to us, and if you are a regular customer please introduce yourself! At some shows we will only be selling seeds, but at others it will be any combination of fresh chillies, chilli plants and seeds. At the moment the ones we plan on attending, but not all are confirmed, are:
Other shows and their dates will be posted as soon as we know them.
