Consistent quality |
Bronzewing Farm® Tasmanian DEVIL® Mountain Pepper is consistently 'hot', day-in, day-out;
year-in, year-out; the
polygodial content of our Tasmanian DEVIL Mountain Pepper(R) is
typically 26 g/kg in the dried peppercorns because our pepperberries
are produced from our
selected cultivars (propagated on the farm, planted on the farm and harvested from the farm).
Compare this to
peppers harvested from the bush - where the polygodial levels can range
from next to nothing to high and everything in between.

Tasmanian Mountain Pepper you'll get. Click here for details of a University of Tasmania

Consistent supply |
Bronzewing Farm® aims to be able to supply Tasmanian Mountain Pepper all year round, every year! We can do this because our pepper is grown in
our plantation where the plants
get the right care to ensure consistent production. Compare this with the 'bush suppliers' -
"Production of this mainly wild harvest native food is highly variable" (RIRDC 2012). We
estimate that the 'bush crop' fails
2 years in every 5. Why would you use Tasmanian Mountain
Pepper in your products, your restaurant or your home if you can
only get it every so often?

Serious Quantities |
Bronzewing Farm's dried peppercorn yield is projected to be 2,000 kg annually at
maturity.
The highly variable 'bush crop' was estimated at 4,000 kg in 2012 (RIRDC 2012). You will
have a real choice
when deciding to buy Tasmanian Mountain Pepper: Peppercorns of
consistent quality, or peppercorns which may or may not be 'hot'
(if you can buy them
that year...).
