Chile Pepper Day

There is no hot pepper eating contest this year, but Chile Pepper Day at EFM is still HOT-HOT-HOT!  Peppers are in their prime in mid-September and there are an amazing number of sweet and hot varieties available from EFM vendors.  Popular in Central America for thousands of years, peppers are now a favorite of many local chefs and home cooks.  Just ask EFM’s produce farmers about how different varieties can add flavor and often a bit of a kick to recipes.  There will be hot sauce for sale too at Scholl Orchards and at Fraktured Hot Sauce by Goshenhoppen Run – from seed-to-sauce – award winning sauces:  2020 Scovie Awards – 2nd Place and 2019 NYC Hot Sauce Expo – Screaming MiMi Awards – Silver Medal.
