Australian GROWN

Fresh Chillies

We’ve been growing chillies on our family farm since 1996 and are Australia’s largest growers.

Australia's Largest Growers

Thirthy years ago, most Australians weren’t even aware of chillies. In fact, Our founder David DePaoli was the first farmer in Australia to grow chillies and people thought he was crazy.

Chillies are now a regularly consumed in homes across Australia and we are proud to have played a leading role in building a new fresh produce category.

As Australia’s largest growers we are proud of the expertise, quality and variety we offer 52 weeks a year. Grown on our family farm in Bundaberg, our region’s warm climate provides the ideal growing conditions to create flavoursome chillies.

Wholesale Agents

Our chillies may be hot, but they don’t like travelling in the heat. Chillies require refrigerated transport, so we can’t directly supply fresh chillies to customers in small quantities.

If you are interested in purchasing fresh chillies in quantities less than 100 kgs, please contact your local fresh wholesale agents in each capital city (listed below) or visit your local supermarket.
