About Us

   My husband and I worked for a local hemp farm/production company. He was the Pest Management Supervisor for the farm and I was the front office Executive Assistant. We really enjoyed our jobs.  Working on the farm was really cool. I had three dogs hanging out by my desk most of the day and my husband and I got to work together. Then the pandemic hit.

We were laid off in the Spring of 2020. We had been growing peppers for fun for about 5 years.  We were talking and trying to figure out what to do to continue to earn a living. Job prospects in our town are quite slim. My husband loves to garden (a little more than me 😉) and I love to cook and create. 

We were always sharing our peppers and products with our friends and co-workers. So it seemed natural if we were going to change direction and earn a living we needed to step it up.

Pandemic Polly was a funny name we jokingly came up with and it stuck. Polly want a cracker? Became Polly want a pepper? For now we grow the peppers in our back and front yard. We call it our farm although it is a small city plot. Next year we hope to expand to a bit more acreage.

We appreciate your supporting our small Colorado pepper farm.
