The Bhut Jolokia Ghost Pepper is gaining more popularity and coming more and more into mainstream media. So much so that the local Los Angeles affiliate NBC4 recently did a segment on the pepper and how it’s being grown locally in Ventura County.
See the segment on NBC’s site, Butch talks about the pepper with NBC4 reporter Jennifer Bjorklund.

Every summer we produce a special batch of The World’s Hottest Pickles. These Pickles are available at our booths at the Oxnard Salsa Festival and the Ventura County Fair.
The Pickles are brined in our secret recipe of spices and extra peppers, then aged for 90 days.
Here are some videos taken of some of those brave enough to eat The World’s Hottest Pickles this year.

We have had a pretty good season of growing our Bhut Jolokia Ghost Peppers and as of this writing (mid-Nov.) we have harvested over 2000 pounds of fresh peppers. It’s great that the climate here in Ventura County allows us to have such a long growing season.
We are currently still harvesting peppers, as the heat of our Indian Summer this season gave us additional growth. At the same time we are making Ghost Pepper Mash, available in 40lb pails, 1gal jugs, as well as quart and pint jars. For a limited time we also offer for sale fresh Bhut Jolokia Peppers.
Here are some pictures we would like to share, showing our peppers this season.
