Grow­ing over 10,000 chilli plants the South Devon Chilli Farm has grown a lot since it opened early in 2003.

Run by Jason Nick­els and Steve Waters with up to 5 staff at busy times. The farm is spread between two loc­a­tions and is situ­ated approx­im­ately halfway between Torquay and Plymouth.

The main site is near the vil­lage of Lod­dis­well and is approx 10 acres with a small shop that they open all year round, 7 days a week, between 10am-4pm. There is also a show poly tun­nel in which they dis­play examples of the vari­et­ies they grow. The second site is in South Milton and con­sists of 4 poly tunnels

With 2,500 square meters of chilli plants, they har­ves­ted over a mil­lion chil­lies last year alone.

The Shop

There online shop sells Fresh Chiles dur­ing the sea­son (July – Novem­ber), Smoke and Dried chil­lies, Chilli Powders, Chilli Chocol­ate Pre­serves, Sauces and even a range of seeds.

There latest range of products includes a Extreme Bhut Jolokia Sauce, Mash and Jam.

There have a whole­sale online shop of their stock­ists, who while mainly in the south west can also be found as far away as Derby­shire and Cum­bria, a com­plete list can be found on their web site. They have even got some of their products for sale on Amazon

A num­ber of foodie celebrity includ­ing Jamie Oliver and Tom Parker-Bowles (We like Tom as he ref­er­enced my book a num­ber of times) are amongst their fans.

They seem like a very for­ward think­ing busi­ness whose growth is base on good ser­vice and products, we hope dur­ing the sum­mer to visit them and bring back some pic­tures for you to see.
