I'm a small Farmer, a “Jibaro”, from Puerto Rico, located in the border between Pasco County and Hernando County, in Florida. I have spent the last two years studying the plants which produce the product which I sell. I pickle my product. Varius types of Aji have been incorporated in Latinos cuisine worldwide for centuries. Specially in their "Sofrito." A blend of vegetables and spices added to their cooking.
Aji Cachucha also known as ajicito, which mean small aji pepper, may look like the Habanero and Scotch Bonet peppers,
but its bite is mild, ranging from 1000-5000 (SHD) on the Scoville scale. In my journey I've become very familiar with the plant and product. Thru seed selection, I've grown a number of healthier plants, which require less water and produce a larger Aji or "Ajizon." Thru trial and error and combining different types of compost with Floridian soil, I've created a soil which ensures success in growing the plant. My product is naturally grown and one of my goals is to certify my product as organic and to get FDA certification.
At this time, my team is composed of the following professionals:
Fernando Morales jr -President
Cabinetmaker and Corian tops fabricator and finisher, with ample hands-on experience in the agriculture field.
David Davis - Industrial designer and Utilities manager
With portable water system and wastewater plant operations certification by FLDEP. Experienced in many aspects of agriculture and aquaculture.
Dan Mitchell - Director of SmartStart and Business Consultant
Jose Melgar - Score Mentor
With the hope of hiring several individuals as the company grows, I will work closely with my clients to understand their needs and provide customized solutions that meet their specific requirements. It's my claim that my product is the authentic "Aji Cachucha." The seeds originated in Cuba. The how, they got to Florida, is a story to be told.
"More will Revealed...." Happy shopping.
