Our Roots – The Story of Tasty Pepper

🌶️ Our Story:

Duane & Stephany inside greenhouse

What began as a home garden tucked behind our house on N 94th Street soon became a mission: to make unique, high-heat pepper plants accessible to growers and food lovers in Milwaukee and beyond.

 Tasty Pepper™ is a family-owned online pepper nursery passionate about cultivating rare, high-quality pepper plants. Founded by Duane & Stephany Taylor, we specialize in isolated and open-pollinated seeds for growers who crave exceptional flavors and unique varieties. 🌱🔥

  

How We Got Started

Greenhouse next to shed

In 2017, our journey began with a simple goal: expanding our backyard garden and growing our food. We quickly discovered a deep love for super-hot peppers after growing our first batch. Their bold flavors, intense heat, & potential medical benefits inspired us to create Tasty Pepper™, where we specialize in cultivating artisan-grown plants and expanding our collection of pepper varieties each season. Beyond their fiery heat, we fell in love with peppers for their incredible health benefits. Rich in capsaicin & they can boost metabolism, reduce inflammation, and even help with pain relief—making them just as powerful for wellness as they are for flavor! 🌶️🔥 Follow our Milwaukee Pepper Grower blog for a more in-depth conversation about how our journey began.
