Pepper Patrons 2026 Has Closed!

The 2026 Pepper Patrons season has officially come to a close. Thank you to everyone who helped make our inaugural year possible!

We Planted the Seeds of Something Special

To everyone who joined us this year: thank you!

Your support helped us purchase another wonderful harvest of Vermont-grown peppers while reducing the amount we needed to borrow. Along the way, we strengthened relationships with our farmers, shared more of the growing season with our Patrons, and began building a community we hope will flourish for years to come.

We couldn't have started this without you!

Pepper Patron Wall of Thanks

Thank You, Pepper Patrons

Every harvest has a story. These are the people who are the founding membership of a community built around incredible peppers, small farms, and a shared love of food that tastes fantastic. We're proud to recognize the people who have joined us for this year's harvest.
