Our chillies
We have 9 hectares of fields around the farm and we devote 3 hectares to growing Piment d'Espelette PDO. This allows us to change fields and let the soil rest every three years.
Cambo-les bains in the Basque Country is one of only 10 communes to benefit from PDO status, thanks to a subtropical microclimate with mild summer temperatures and generous annual rainfall
. We work as a family (husband and wife),
using seasonal workers to help with planting, field maintenance, picking, de-stemming and packaging. Our two daughters, Louise and Camille, like to take part, one preferring to be on the premises for tailing and packing, the other preferring to be outside in the greenhouse and in the fields. They both have a place in the production cycle.Our offers and services
