Peppers we're planting.

 At Earthworks we grow and sell local, homegrown transplants. (not fresh off a California truck) We don't grow 100's of kinds, but a smaller selection - but it's all good. Above is 'California Wonder,' a very popular green pepper, or leave then on the vine to sweeten up for a tasty red pepper. These are larger, blocky - 4 lobed beauties. Very multi-purpose in the kitchen.

 'Sweet Banana Peppers.' When I see these honeys, I think about the flatbreads that we make for the market, and how beautiful the banana pepper rings look on them. These are thinner walled than bell peppers. Also great for frying and to include in salsa. Plants are loaded with fruits.

'Gourmet Pepper.' One of the sweetest orange bells around. Large 3x5" peppers producing 6-12 per plant.
Gorgeous color and so good for you too!

'Atris' pepper. This awesome pepper is supersweet and sooo delicious. Imagine stuffing it with cheesy rice and grilling for a few minutes. I have stuffed these with a cooked filling, and stored them in the freezer for months. Cook a few minutes in the micro, deelish. Perfect for work lunches. These peppers can get up to
9" long with thick walls.

'Fresno Chile.' This is our first year for this spicy guy. They can be harvested green when they are more mild, or when they are red hot! Typically, they will be hotter than jalapenos. Fresno Chile is one of Rachel Rays favorite pepper to cook with. They are about the size of Jalapenos.

'Jalapeno.' What's salsa without it? A crowd favorite. plants produce lots of peppers, 25-50 per plant.
They provide a long picking season.

'Orangesicle' What a gorgeous sweet salad pepper. Also, great for a smaller stuffing pepper at 4-6."

Think...stuffing with a tuna or chicken salad on a bed of greens.

Aromatic and zesty fresh flavor. Very productive, with loads of peppers over a long picking season.

Yup. Only seven kinds...but all great and a little different from each other. Earthworks will also be selling tomato & herb transplants. Our transplants will be at the Mankato Farmers Market & at our field location.
