Herb-infused olive oils & vinegars; fresh & dried herbs; herb & plant seedlings; herbal soaps, salves, salts, & lip balms About Us Hello! We're Tim & Jocelyn, the Pickle Creek Farmers. We like to think of ourselves as Farmerteurs, or Farmer-Entrepreneurs. About 15 years ago, we gave up our Chicagoland chemistry jobs to do the crazy and near impossible: Thrive on a 100-acre family farm. Today we are the proud owners of Pickle Creek Herbs, a state-certified commercial kitchen, and Green Heritage Farms, a small certified organic herb farm in Southeast Iowa. We grow herbs, berries, tomatoes, and garlic that we then use to create herb-infused olive oils and vinegars, soaps, salves, and lip balms. We take the process from seed to store and make everything ourselves using original recipes perfected over the years. And yes! You can taste the difference! On our Web site you’ll read that our mission is to show how amazing herbs can be when they’re grown by passionate farmers who love their plants, their community, and their soil. We also have another, kind of save-the-world mission: To demonstrate how the small sustainable farm can thrive in today’s modern industrial world. We intend to do this through care and respect for the land, the community, and the consumer, and we hope this shines through in everything we do. After all, in the end we are no more than what we have given to others. Passion for life and respect for the land that sustains it: Above all, that’s what we hope to give.

Serrano Altiplano Hot Pepper Seedling
[OUT OF STOCK] 0 plants available.
The serrano pepper is a type of chili pepper that originated in the mountainous regions of Mexico. The name of the pepper is a reference to the mountains (sierras). The large plant is very prolific, especially in the late summer. A single plant can yield dozens of club-shaped peppers that can be harvested while they are green or red. The Scoville rating of the serrano pepper is 10,000 to 25,000. They are typically eaten raw and have a bright and biting flavor that is notably hotter than the jalapeno pepper. Serrano peppers are commonly used in pico de gallo and salsa, as the chili is particularly fleshy when compared with others, making it ideal for such dishes. It is one of the most used chili peppers in Mexican cuisine. Note that this variety is an F1 hybrid. 75 days.

Shishito Heirloom Pepper Seedling
6 plants available. Order number of plants.
This favorite old Japanese variety is small, slender, and about 3 inches long. The name refers to the fact that the tip of the chili pepper looks like the head of a lion. Although it turns from green to red upon ripening, it is usually harvested while green, when it is milder and sweeter. About 1 in every 10 peppers is hot. For cooking, a hole is poked in the pepper beforehand to keep expanding hot air from bursting the fruit. It may be skewered and then broiled or grilled or pan-fried in oil, or simply eaten raw. 60 days.

Tam Jalapeno Hot Pepper Seedling
[OUT OF STOCK] 0 plants available.
A very tasty mild Jalapeno type pepper that has the same delicious flavor as the jalapeno but has a lot less heat (just 1,250-2,000 Scoville heat units) and even a little bit sweet taste at times. Jalapenos are commonly picked and consumed while still green, but occasionally the fruit are allowed to fully ripen and turn crimson red. This pepper is great for canning and mild salsas! If you like the flavor of Jalapeno peppers but wish they were not so hot, this is the pepper for you. Great yields. 70 days.
