Bluewater Pepper Farm makes and sells spices, spice blends and hot sauce. We make our seasonings by hand from a combination of locally grown and imported chilies and spices. We sell our products here online and at local farmers markets and retail shops. Our signature product is smokey chipotle powder made from Huron County grown jalapeño peppers.
What started out as a hobby has become our passion and our business. Our first product sprang from a bountiful harvest of jalapenos from our garden. We discovered how to make a delicious, fiery powder that we call Hot Smokey Chipotle. From that modest start, we created spice blends to showcase the distinct smoke flavour of our chipotle powder, as well as developing our Sweet Smoked Paprika – another product made from ripe, local shepherd peppers.
Our line of hot sauces evolved from there. We found that the most delicious flavour is achieved through the age old process of fermentation. Letting time and lacto-bacillus work their magic produces a savoury product that doesn’t require the addition of harsh vinegars to make our sauces shelf-stable. The resulting hot sauces have become our best sellers.
We source nearly all of our peppers through partnerships with local growers.
If you’re visiting beautiful Huron County in the summer months, you can find us at the farmer’s markets in Goderich on Saturdays and Bayfield on Friday afternoons. In south Bruce County, we also sell at the Kincardine Market in the Park on Monday mornings. Look for our products at select local retailers as well, including Masse’s, Bad Apple Brewing, Out of the Blue Fish and Seafood, and others.
