Well........
All winter long I have been going back and forth with myself on a very important business decision. I
have decided that just specializing in "Fresh Peppers" alone was going to have to be a thing of the past.
I was having to tell too many potential customers to go elsewhere for "Dried Peppers/Powder". This
made me need to address a few areas in order to now be able to meet those needs of customers. First, I
needed to grow more plants in order to produce the peppers to process, so I did This year I more than
DOUBLED the amount of plants I was growing compared to last year! Second, I needed a "place" to
process these peppers. I was faced with 2 options here, either go off-site and rent kitchen space once a
week to process peppers OR..... just BUILD MY OWN place to process peppers On-Site! Well the
answer to that question came to me some time around the first of the year.... I decided that building my
own place was going to be the way to go, but there would still be some challenges to face. One of those
challenges would be that the "building" would have to be able to moved at a later date once we move
south to the new farm location in Port Charlotte in 2017. Another challenge would be having this
"building" be big enough to also have an office space on site as well. Up until this point all processing &
office work for the business has been done at my home. This has been sufficient in the past, but with the
growth of the business in mind I had to move BOTH of these to be on site at the nursery in order to do
things properly! The Health Department will also be involved to certify/inspect the processing facility, as
it now meets ALL standards required by law!
So in closing, I think I made the right choice here. Only time will tell The decision to do this was also
to give ALL my customers a little piece of mind when ordering "processed products" from us here at
Baker's Peppers! Now being able to see "WHERE" their finished & ready for consumption pepper
products are coming from! Pics below....!
P.S.- Me and my best friend (mostly my best friend, I was the "hand me this tool" guy most of the time) did ALL the work on this Building....neither of us are trained
"construction/building/electrical" experts by ANY stretch of the imagination. We did the best we could
with the knowledge we had. So if YOU are a professional in these areas and see something we may have
done wrong, before you post here calling me out on something you see, please understand we are NOT
professionals in these areas and we did the best we could with the skills/knowledge we had...LOL
Ok.....I think that about covers it.....
Presenting the NEW processing facility for Baker's Peppers LLC! Its a 12' X 36' PreFab ColCraft Building....
Enjoy!!
