Company description

The Boonville Barn Collective is a small farm and food business specializing in farm to jar chile powders. What started as a way to produce a locally grown Basque chile powder has evolved into a venture focused on building community and growing great spices. We don't grow Piment d'Ville just because it makes our food taste incredible. We grow these chiles and produce value-added products in order to provide our team with better working conditions and better pay than conventional farms and so ALL of us can be proud of the work we do. And they just taste great!
