Chile Time

The Truck Farm is finally making the long awaited move to a new location.  While we are making this move we are unable to keep our kitchens running, and therefore we are going to sell out of a few things.  We'll keep an updated list here on what product we are currently out of.  If you want to order that product as soon as it becomes available send us an email at sweethot@sweethos.com and we'll let you know when your favorite becomes available again.  The shortage on these products should not last past the early part of June.

1.Besito Caliente

2.Green Chile Cornbread

3.Jalapeno Catsup

4.Cherry A'More

We here at The Truck Farm are mostly know for our chile products.  Our two most popular products have Caliente and Hots in their names.  Pretty much everything you'll find on this site will have some sort of heat to it.  However, there are three exceptions in the Honey Mustard with Dill, the Campfire Mustard, and our Raw Honey.  The Honey Mustard with dill is a sweet mustard with a hint of dill flavor added to it.  The Campfire mustard even though it has a fire on the label also has no heat  to it, though it does have a smokey flavor reminiscent of sitting around a campfire.  Then there is the honey.  Our honey isn't like what you would find in the grocery stores.  It is unprocessed pure honey whereas most of what you'll find has been cooked to produce a clearer honey while destroying some of honey's inherent benefits.  Our honey is darker and more flavorful, a result of leaving nature's sweetener all alone.

If you happen to have a smart phone, and happen to have a bar code scanner app on it, you can now scan the bar codes of most of our products on your phone and do a product search through Google to track down what you want.  This is perfect for the people out there who have an old label of ours but aren't sure where to get that spicy stuff they once had.  That is the interesting part.  The pointless part is that anybody who is reading this already knows where are site is, and most likely knows what they want of ours.  Also, it may only work with Android phones since that is a Google operating system.

We have a page on this site with a bunch of recipes for our products.  They are the same recipes that have been around forever and ever and we want to update them.  Well, really we want you to update them.  We are looking for new recipes using any of our products.  The five best will be posted on this blog and then on the recipe page where it will be credited to whomever created it.  Send any ideas you have to sweethot@sweethots.com with Recipe in the subject line.  We'll let you know if it will have a permanent place on our recipe page or not, and next week we will start posting the new ideas here after we've sorted through them.

We have finally made a batch of the Red Hots and they are back up on the site.

We have two walk in refrigeration units that we have to move into our new place before we can get final inspections on everything.  The refrigerator is 6X10 and the freezer is 8X10.  They are basically little rooms.  Several people have wondered how these rooms will be moved.  They are both modular, with the walls able to be taken apart and reassembled elsewhere.  It will take a few days to get them apart and then put them back together.  When they are reassembled they will need to be rewired and replumbed so that they have power and drainage available.  It is getting closer.

The latest news on our big move is that we should be in our new place by the time everybody is wearing green.  The hold up at this moment is that we didn't schedule in advance getting our walk-in refrigeration units moved.  We didn't know when we would be able to do them so now we have to wait two weeks.  Once they are moved over everything else should be able to follow them shortly.  Instead of lying about how many months it is going to take, we can now confidently start lying about how many weeks.

Once again we find ourselves telling our customers that we can't sell them something.  In this case it is actually two things that we are going to be without for awhile.  The first is again the Red Hots.  Unlike the last time this isn't an issue of finding the red jalapenos but in storing them.  When we get ready to make our move our freezer will be down for four days and we don't have anywhere to stash 2,000 pounds of frozen jalapeno.  As soon as we get the freezer over and operational we'll order the jalapenos and make Red Hots again.  The other product is the Green Enchilada Casserole.  The source for one of our ingredients went out of business so we switched to a new source; they are currently sold out and we can't find anywhere else to buy vegetarian chicken broth powder.  We'll keep you updated on how everything goes.

I know it seems like we've been stringing all of you along with the promise of us telling ya'll that we would be moving to a new place.  We've gone from an estimate of  5-6 months to 3-4 months then finally about a month.  The 6 month estimate was way off as it will soon be two years since we first decided to move.  The current estimate of about a month has been the current estimate for the past three months.  We have finally finished almost everything we can do without electrocuting ourselves, so hopefully the month timetable is correct.  Soon we'll start estimating "about a week" and a month or six later we should be moved into our new place.  This is a long way of saying that we are the worst contractors in the history of mankind, and while we are availble for hire I would advise against it. Also, from now on we will stick to what we know: Chile.
