Bell Peppers - Mixed Colors (quart)

These bell peppers from Brushy Creek Farms are crisp, colorful, and ready to do a lot of heavy lifting in the kitchen. Each quart will typically include 3–6 peppers in a mix of colors, with the farm aiming for at least half to be orange or red rather than sending a basket full of green. As the season shifts, the peppers may run a little smaller during the hottest part of August and grow larger again once temperatures cool.

Slice them into fajitas, roast them until sweet and caramelized, chop them into salads or pasta dishes, pile them onto pizzas, or stuff them for an easy dinner that feels far more impressive than it is.

Why We Love Them

Brushy Creek Farms is a nearly 40-year family farm growing seasonal North Texas produce with a thoughtful, long-term commitment to the land. Their growing practices are sustainable and closely aligned with organic methods, although the farm is not certified organic. They use only organic pesticides and fungicides when needed, and work to avoid even those whenever possible.

The farm relies heavily on cover crops to replenish nutrients and build organic matter, uses composts and mulches in its high tunnels, and rests a quarter of its land each year so the soil has time to recover. That care shows up in produce that is grown for flavor, seasonality, and the long haul.
