Our 1st Chilli Fest a Hot & Spicy Success!

Well, the weather may not have represented the best of the summer, though things heated up at Plant & Harvest with chilli tastings, chilli specials on our Café menu and all things chilli-related.


First of all, we would like to congratulate Cameron Phillips as the winner of our Chilli Growing Competition with his home-grown 12cm red chilli.

Cameron gets to take home the GIANT jar of Tracklements Chilli Jam for him and his family to enjoy over the coming weeks (or perhaps months!).


In addition to Tracklements and their ever popular Chilli Jam, we had over 40 chilli products for everyone to sample over the three day Bank Holiday Weekend - from mild & flavourful chilli jellies to hot scotch bonnet sauce, chilli crisps, chilli-infused cheese and even chilli chocolate. Our Café served up Chris' homemade Roasted Tomato, Red Pepper & Chilli Soup, Chilli Jam toasties, Nachos platters and Vanessa's homemade Chilli Chocolate Brownies.

A big thank you to our producers, Gina from Tracklements, Ian from Treflach Farm and Chris from St.John & Dolly's Pickles for attending and sharing their stories with our customers. We hope to do it all over again next year! Please visit our Facebook page to see more photos from the event.
