Reserving the 2027 Harvest

The Carolina farm behind your label.

Contract-grown superhots in Upstate South Carolina. Your varieties, your volume, your name on the rows.

We're Zach & Correll, growing small-batch superhot and specialty peppers in the Oconee County foothills. We grow to order for sauce makers, breweries, and kitchens: reserve rows before seed hits soil and the harvest is yours by name. Fresh ripe pods, dried, powder, mash, or frozen.

Supply you can put on your label.

You know the problem: a great supplier has a bad season and your flagship product changes. Our grown-to-order model is the fix. Contract-grown superhots, your varieties, your volume, your delivery format, from a small farm in Upstate South Carolina. Consistent. Local. Yours by name on the rows. No middleman, no broker, no substitutions you didn't approve.

“Flavor first, heat close behind.” A flavor story no distributor can sell to your competitor.

Meet the peppers

The real pods. And their alter egos.

Every photo here is a real pod from our rows, no filter. Next to each one is its character art, just for fun: the photo is the pepper, the cartoon is the personality.

The peach lineup

Four peach superhots. One flavor family.

We built the farm around the peach lineup: Peach Pyro (est. 2.3M), Peach Ruckus (est. 2.0M), Brainstrain Peach (est. 1.2M), and Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion (est. 1.1M). For a sauce maker or brewer, that's a whole peach-heat product line from one local farm: four heat levels, one flavor family, your name on the rows.
