Don’t forget to include organic chili peppers in football game day marketing strategies. They are a great way to spice up homemade dips.

Include organic chili peppers in summertime grilling promotions along with recipes for meat marinades that include chili peppers. Cross-promote them with organic meat.

Dynamic Displays
