When you’re driving down the country roads in sleepy Stockton, keep your eyes open – you just might miss this haven for Chile lovers. Spanning eleven greenhouses and hundreds of varieties of Chile and Bell peppers, it’s a must-visit for any lover of fresh produce.
If you don’t want to buy a whole plant, the farm sells seeds that can be used to start up your own pepper patch.
While the greenhouses dominate the farm’s landscape, the small farm store is not to be missed either. There, you’ll find a wide variety of fresh-picked peppers in the perfect portion for you to take home. No muss, no fuss, instant burn at your personal preference.
Cross Country sells 130,000-plus chile pepper plants this year, from scorchers such as Carolina reaper, dragon’s breath and brain strain to milder peppers such as ancho, jalapeño giant yellow, and Trinidad perfume.
Cross Country Nurseries is more than just peppers, though. There are 200 kinds of tomatoes (most popular: San Marzano, Sun Sugar and Cherokee Purple); 50 kinds of eggplant (Cambodian Giant Green, Cloud Nine, Millionaire Hybrid, etc.); 60 varieties of basil and 10 kinds of cilantro.
And if you’re not a spice-lover, that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. Cross Country Nurseries also has the biggest selection of Bell and sweet peppers anywhere.
