HEATHER and Mike Biggs run Karrimah Farm at Wellard on Perth’s outskirts, a micro business growing chillies and producing a range of chilli condiments which was born out of their joint love and combined skills of growing, preserving and cooking.

Mike has a background in horticultural science, commercial growing and horticultural consulting. Heather has had a lifelong love affair with food and cooking, particularly big, bold and spicy flavours and has always had a particular fascination for ‘preserving the harvest’.

Together, they’ve adapted their combined skills and knowledge to meet the needs of a small operation while keeping in mind the main objectives, preserving the natural bushland and having some fun.

On Sun 11 April 2010, joint Slow Food Perth on an excursion to the chilli garden, learn about Mike and Heather’s unique approach to food production, and enjoy a light lunch where they’ll introduce you gently to the joys of spicing up your food with chillies.

Book early as numbers are limited to 20.
