Why Pandemic Polly Peppers you ask?
We lost our jobs in the Spring of 2020 when the pandemic hit here in Colorado. We were told like every one else that the lockdown was just for 2 weeks. Well, we all know how that went. We had been growing peppers for fun the 5 years prior. We were deciding what to do to continue earning a living and staying busy without getting cabin fever. My husband had already been prepping the garden and I had been creating new recipes.
We knew if we wanted to do this, we needed to step it up. My husband greatly increased the garden size, I started the website, created the company (Marcum Farm Co.), got busier in the kitchen and here we are.
Pandemic Polly was a funny name we jokingly came up with and it stuck. Polly want a cracker? Became Polly want a pepper. What can I say, lockdowns make you silly...
