About me

Chilli farming on the North Canterbury plains of the south island of New Zealand can be a challenging task, with temperatures down to minus 10C in the winter and up to 38C in the summer.

We are growing several varieties of chillies in our 45m long tunnel house (polytunnel) to supply fresh chillies and chilli products to the local market. Starting small (we have day jobs and children), but growing and learning along the way.

Our seasons are the opposite to the UK (from whence we hail), so Christmas is in the summer, Easter in autumn, and halloween in spring.
