Meet Dominic from Scoville Farms:

What does Scoville Farms specialize in?

Every tasty spread, dip, sauce, glaze or chutney we make will include fresh or dried peppers as the main ingredient, some spicy, some not.

What is the story behind your business or name?

The Scoville Scale is used to quantify the level of spiciness sensed when eating peppers and other spicy foods. Since we produce pepper products like a farm produces peppers, we call ourselves Scoville Farms.

What prompted you to start your business?

My parents not only taught me to cook, but also the value of a job done well. They have played a major role in the development of my passion and with their continued support I was able to take the leap into ownership when the timing was right. We will be ready for sales of our first line in mid-July

What will your first line of products be?

The first in our line of multipurpose condiments is called Everidae Sweet Habanero Sauce. We are taking pre-orders and hope to have our online store open by mid-July at www.scoville-farms.com. Also watch for it to appear on local specialty store shelves

Take an entrepreneur chef with a passion for food an enthusiasm for peppers, mix in some fresh local ingredients, a touch of artistic flare & a bunch of passion-filled hard work and you get products that never fail to impress.
