  • Description

    Description

    My wife and I and our baby daughter have a house and green-house on the coast (Ocean view). We are growing chillis to make our own sauce. In the long run we aim to be able to grow enough of our own chillies and commercialize our sauce. But at the moment we have 5 different types of chillies. I only make 5 batches a year.
    Our house is walking distance of the most popular snorkeling spot on Penghu Island, and we love to snorkel and SUP. .
