Peppers by Post

Welcome to Peppers by Post

We sell "home-grown" fresh chillies through the post

THE 2013 SEASON WILL START IN AUGUST

(please note: we have no fresh chillies right now, so please do not make an order!)

If you want to order chilli seeds go to www.seaspringseeds.co.uk

If you want to order chilli plants go to www.seaspringplants.co.uk

We – Michael and Joy Michaud – specialise in the production of chilli peppers on our West Dorset nursery 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 grown in polytunnels, and picked according to the days orders, so delivery glitches aside, customers normally receive their chillies just the day after they were growing on the plant, fresher than anything that can be bought in the shops.

There are thousands of varieties of chillies in the world, and not all are created equal. The varieties we are selling this year are all habanero types. They all have the fruity flavour of a habanero chilli, but range in heat level from Dorset Naga, one of the world's hottest chillies (see www.dorsetnaga.com), to Apricot, an exceptional habanero with almost no heat but a delicious tropical aroma and flavour.

To order please click here or go to "Ordering Information" at the top of this page. To view the full range of chillies we sell please click on the ‘Varieties’ window (to the left) and it will reveal all.

Dorset Naga Seeds / chilli plants

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, Trinity, Apricot and many other chilli varieties, including the stunninngly beautiful NuMex Twilight (see picture above) and its even prettier cousin, Fariy Lights. In addition, we are selling seed of sweet pepper varieties, some 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.

We also sell plug plants of of Dorset Naga and a wide range of other chilli varieties. To order please go to www.seaspringplants.co.uk

Shows

We also attend several shows, particularly over the summer months. So if you live close to one come and say hello to us, and if you are a regular customer please introduce yourself, it is really nice to have a face to a name! At some shows we will only be selling seeds, but at others it will be any combination of fresh chillies, plug plants, chilli potted plants and seeds.

The shows for 2013 have not yet been decided. As soon as they are we will post them here.
