Peppers

Certified Organic since 2019. In 2021, we grew 15 different types of peppers. These ranged in heat from the delicious Poblano to the mild spice of Calabria and finally to the very rare heat of the Peruvian Charapita and super hot heat of the Reaper. We choose our varieties based on the unique flavor of each pepper and are happy to talk more about these beautiful fruits. For a complete list and options to purchase fresh or dried peppers, please email us through the contact page below or DM us on instagram @thehoppyacre.

Besides growing hops and peppers we also produce hot sauce and salsas under our own Springs Fireplace brand. These products bring a unique flavor to your palate and are fantastic with any dish. They are not a trophy sauces that sit on your shelf, these are sauces you want to have at your table. Each sauce is designed so you can taste the unique peppers before the heat, ranging from mild to spicy, kicks in . Our motto ‘Flavor First’ is a nod to this slow burn. Not sure where to start? Send us a note and we will be happy to help you choose.

Tesuque - 3 of 5 🔥

Our everyday sauce. This hot sauce is made with the Tesuque pepper, a traditional pepper that has been cultivated for generations by the people of the historic Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico. Pronounced (teh-SOO-kay), the beauty of the pepper comes from its color, flavor and a mild heat that will make everyone want more. We like it with our breakfast eggs, burritos, or beans and rice. Friends use it like a marinade before roasting meats or pan cooking chicken.

Aji Peach - 4 of 5 🔥

Combining the subtle aroma and flavor of peach with the citrus taste of Ají Limon and the balanced heat of the famous Aleppo pepper. It tastes great before a beautiful heat comes on with a slow burn. We like it on tacos, fish, and veggie melts.

Green Fermented Sriracha - 4 of 5 🔥

Spicy, garlicky, and slightly sweet, our Green Sriracha is fermented for several weeks creating a complex and unique flavor that slowly develops on your palate. The heat builds with each bite. Try this probiotic sauce on meats, fish like a chimichurri, or mixed with guacamole. Use on burgers instead of the usual condiments and you’ll want this sauce on everything.

Charapita - 5 of 5 🔥

For the hot pepper connoisseur, this is pepper. The Peruvian Charapita brings a great tropical taste and a whole lot of heat. You can eat these peppers straight from the jar, add them crushed to a simmering sauce, or use the preserved vinegar in a salad dressing. There is a reason this is the most expensive pepper in the world, she’s a beauty.

Salsa Roja - 3 of 5 🔥

Our blend of roasted tomatoes and spicy green chilies mixed with cumin, lime, and cilantro will make everyone’s day better. With its bright taste and great finish, you will want to take this to a party, or just keep it all for yourself.
