APRIL 2011 - NEW SHOP AND CAFE NOW OPEN. Our shop has moved into a new building on the farm and we now have a cafe too. The cafe is open during the day time and serves teas, coffee and light meals. Chilli features highly on the menu, there is outside seating and the views are stunning and far reaching.

The South Devon Chilli Farm started in 2003 and has grown steadily to the point where we now grow over 10,000 chilli plants every year and harvest tons of fresh chillies which we sell fresh or use in our range of chilli sauces, preserves and chilli chocolate.

Our farm and shop are open for visitors and as such we are unique in this country. Nowhere else can you come along and wander among the fruiting chilli plants, sample all of the sauces, preserves and chocolate made on the farm and take away chilli seedlings, plants and seeds.

The farm, shop and cafe are now open from 10-4.30 seven days a week, but we are closed at weekends between New Year and 11th February. As well as the things we make, we also have fresh chillies for sale from July to November and also sell dried and smoked chillies.

Our rise to fame has been well documented in the media with numerous features in national newspapers as well as TV appearances on BBC Gardeners World, BBC Country File, James Wong's "Grow Your Own Drugs" on BBC2, ITV, West Country TV and UKTV Food. We are also recommended by Jamie Oliver as a supplier of chillies. Jamie says "As you know I am a Chilli freak and these guys grow the best in the country".

Tom Parker-Bowles, food writer and confirmed chilli lover, has also recommended our products in his regular Mail on sunday Column.

Feel free to browse around our site and learn more about us, we hope you find it rewarding.
