I’m James, the founder of Brushfire Farms, a small business based in San Antonio, Texas.  We’re focused on creating high quality products utilizing the Chile Pequin pepper.  This small chile is a fairly common native pepper to South Texas and Northern Mexico, but unlike its jalapeño, serrano and habanero cousins, is seldom used in the food world.  We also grow our own Peruvian Aji Limon peppers and handpick all our prickly pear from several ranches across South Texas.  

Our development has been a truly local story, and we’ve been recognized nationally and internationally for our tremendous flavors.  In 2019, we won a prestigious Good Food Award for our Peach – Aji Limon aka Hill Country Heat and also an International Spicy Flav Award for our Prickly Pear – Chile Pequin Jam aka Pear Burner.  We are telling a story – and developing products that are unique to Texas, as well as providing our customers a memorable farm to plate experience.
