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.

As growers, we believe that flavor comes from the soil and from knowing your plants. From heirloom and hybrid peppers to hard-to-find citrus and botanicals, we raise every seedling using natural methods and isolated genetics to ensure quality and consistency.

 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.
