// the story

A 250-year-old
Florida secret.

🌶️

The pepper

The datil is Florida's own — a fiercely aromatic chile carried to St. Augustine by Minorcan settlers in the 1700s and grown there ever since. Floral, fruity, and hot, with a sweetness ordinary peppers can't touch. Almost nobody outside North Florida has tasted it. We're changing that.

❄️

The method

We freeze-dry at peak ripeness — no heat, no irradiation — locking in color, oils, and aroma that air-drying burns off. The result is a powder that's brighter and more potent than anything off a grocery shelf. Shelf-stable, ships flat-rate, lasts.

🌱

The farm

Grown the regenerative way on Cardinal Street in Lecanto, FL — pasture, compost, no shortcuts. This is the first product from a farm built to put real food back into the places that lost it.

🎖️

The maker

Veteran-owned and operator-run. We're starting small and on purpose: one great product, made right, sold straight to you — so we can earn the farm we're building, one batch at a time.

// why pre-sell

You fund the first
batch. We skip the debt.

No warehouse of unsold jars. No loan against a farm that isn't built yet. The Founder's Batch is a limited first run — your pre-orders pay for the ingredients and the milling, and you get the very first jars (numbered) before anyone else. It's the honest way to start a food brand, and it's how we keep the whole thing debt-free while we earn the farm.

We'll only email about the drop. No spam, ever.

// the bigger why

An assembly line
for real food.

Every jar funds the bigger build: a repeatable, regenerative farm that puts fresh, organic food into food deserts and school-lunch programs — a real alternative for people who've been left with nothing but the hyper-processed stuff. We start with one jar of datil gold. We end with a model worth copying.

// questions

Good to know.

What does datil taste like?

Think habanero heat with a floral, fruity sweetness — bright, not just hot. Freeze-drying keeps that aroma intact, so a little goes a long way.

When does it ship?

Founder's Batch (250 jars) ships first, ahead of any retail. Reserve now and you're at the front of the line; we'll email the pre-order link when the batch opens.

Is it really grown in Florida?

The datil heritage is pure St. Augustine, Florida. As the farm comes online in Lecanto, more of every jar is grown on our own ground — and we'll always tell you exactly what's farm-grown vs. sourced. We never relabel.

How hot is it?

Datil runs in the habanero range, but the fruitiness makes it feel friendlier. The powder lets you dial it in a pinch at a time.
