A day in the life of.... the South Devon Chilli Farm Shop Manager!

A day in the life of.... the South Devon Chilli Farm Shop Manager!

No two days are the same here in the farm shop at South Devon Chilli Farm. The shelves are stocked and the samples are out – there are over 30 chilli taste sensations waiting for those who are curious to try our flavours & heat. Have you tried the Reaper Sauce?

I’ll meet & greet visitors staying on the beautiful South Devon Coast; our local regulars - topping up on chilli jam & chutney and walkers and cyclists – refueling on coffee and cake.

During the early months of course, it’s all about growing – seeds, seeds and more seeds – we’ve plenty and the kit to get them started. I love helping our customers choose the right varieties and giving top tips on growing. As the season progresses we’ll have young plants available and also larger 1 litre pot chillies, as well as 2 litre Super Hots – who doesn’t love a Carolina Reaper?

The most rewarding part of being part of the team at South Devon Chilli Farm – asides from having a fantastic valley view from the ‘office’, is the buzz from a shop full of customers; sharing stories of successful crops; recipe ideas and yelps and coughs on sampling the chilli sauces on offer.

I’ll just fetch the ‘emergency milk’…
