Padron Chile Peppers from Suzie’s Farm!! The pepper’s cultivating origins lay in Herbón, whose monastery was where Franciscans apparently first tried growing the pepper seeds they’d brought back from the New World in the 18th century.

At the going rate, pimientos de padron are not an everyday vegetable. They are at a laborious disadvantage. The peppers are so small (about 80-100 per pound) that it takes two people almost two days to pick 300 pounds.
