We do NOT sell fresh chillies at this time of year. We are, however, now selling:

• Seeds please go to our sister company Sea Spring Seeds (www.seaspringseeds.co.uk). We sell an interesting selection of chilli seeds (including the varieties described below), and many other vegetables.

• Plug plants of chillies (orders from October for delivery in early May) please go to www.seaspringplants.co.uk

 

Ordering fresh chillies

The season for selling fresh chillies has finished. It will start again in August 2012.

We only sell our own chillies – that is chilles that we have grown ourselves on Sea Spring Farm overlooking the English Channel in West Dorset. This means our chillies are only available when they are in season.

 

We send chillies out at both stages of ripeness, i.e. green and red/yellow. Anyone wanting their chillies at a particular stage should state so when they order. We are a British company and send orders out to Britain and EU countries only.

Items for sale

In 2011 we sold five different varieties of chillies. All are habanero chillies, and they range from virtually heatless to world record breaking heat levels. The packs contain six or more chillies. In addition there is a "pot luck" pack that could contain anything.

  • Apricot. Cost: £2.00. Very very fragrant; thick fleshed (for a habanero) and delicious. Sweet/very little heat (700 SHU).
  • Trinity. Cost: £2.00. Medium heat level (40,000 SHU). Ideal for someone who likes the habanero flavour but cannot take the heat normally associated with habaneros. Cost £2.00, and contains a minimum of six chillies
  • Jamaican Jerk. Cost: £2.00. Hot (128,000 SHU), flavourful, big and yellow.
  • Orange Habanero. Cost: £2.00. Very hot (250,000 SHU), smooth and orange.
  • Dorset Naga: Cost: £2.00. One of the hottest chillies in the world, but with a powerful flavour that transcends the heat (850,000 - 1,0323,000 SHU).
  • Mixed bag. Cost: £3.50. A pot luck assortment of chillies (different heat levels, colours, shapes and flavours). These chillies come from our variety trials and breeding programme, and many may not even have a name. No bag will be the same.

In addition we sold :

  • Poblano chilies. Cost: 80p each.

...then add p&p, which is:

1-5 packs: £2.25
6 packs or more: £3.50

Any order that includes poblano chillies: £6.00

Orders from other EU countries are accepted. The orders will be sent out in boxes by airmail, but do be aware that we have no control of the time they take to be delivered – it sometimes takes a couple of days other times a week or more. In addition, we have been frustrated by how often orders simply do not arrive, and we can no longer take responsibilty for these lost orders. Maximum order for non UK orders is five packs; postage is £2.25.

1. By post ("snail mail"). Send a printed order form (or letter) and cheque (or postal order) to: Peppers by Post, Sea Spring Farm, West Bexington, Dorchester DT2 9DD. Order forms can be downloaded from below (click on the green button).
