The Daily Collegian Janet Robinson, of Piper’s Peck, picks her peppers which she uses to make salsa, jelly and preserves. Piper’s By Anita Modi COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER The red rust of a pitcher well and dark wood of the Robinsons’ kitchen greet visitors to the Piper’s Peck, a small, family owned business in Bellefonte, Pa. Janet Robinson, founder and owner of the Piper’s Peck, said she started planting and selling both fresh and dried peppers in 1998, when she heard a local restaurant owner comment on the lack of peppers in the area. Her pepper farm soon expanded to include tomatoes, peaches and herbs, and her product line expanded to include pepper prod ucts from the traditional Salsa Verde to the eclectic Peach Jalapeno Preserves. Robinson began selling her products at the State College Friday Farmers Market in 2001. She said she enjoys interacting with both the local vendors, from whom she often buys produce, and her customers. “Getting to know my repeat customers at the market is always nice,” Robinson said. “But my best feedback comes from the customers who call or e-mail to say, ‘l’m from Arizona and I’ve never had good salsa until I had your salsa.’ ” Number 1 2 3 4 5 Each add’l of words issue issues issues issues issues issue 15 $6.50: $9.50 $12.50 $15.50 $18.50 $3.00 20 8.00 12.15 16.30 20.45 24.60 4.15 25 9.50 14.80 20.10 25.40 30.70 5.30 30 11.00 17.45 23.90 30.35 36.80 6.45 35 12.50 20.10’ 21.10 35.30 42.90 7.60 d »dd 1.50 2.65 3.80 4,95 6.10 1.15 jUegicm Inc. reserves the right to reject, reclassify or revise any ad The Daily Collegian will not be responsible for errors bi HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday.

You Emm® picks peppers Raspberry Chipotle Preserves, a jelly combining the sweet flavor of raspberries with the hot kick of the Robinson’s chipotle peppers, sells more than 1,000 jars a year, equaling the number of jars of salsa sold and doubling the sales of all her other jams and jellies combined, she said. In addition to salsa and pepper jellies, Robinson makes barbecue sauces, fruit jellies and home made fudge, which she sells alongside her peppers at local farmers markets and festivals. The pepper produce that Robinson uses comes from a small patch of land just behind her home hosting about 1,000 pep per plants. She said she purchas es the plants to transplant into her own miniature farm from the Miller Plant Farm in York, Pa., an annual shopping trip preceded and followed by a three-hour drive. Despite the length of the jour ney, Robinson said she's satisfied with the peppers she’s ordered all along, originally on the recom mendation of Mike Orzolek, pro fessor of horticulture at Penn State. “I definitely learned this busi ness as I went along,” Robinson said. “All I knew about at the beginning were jalapenos.” yad to conform to established policies.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 Dee 21) ★ ★★★ Getting past a confusing matter fflßl & ENTERTAir Now, she’s knowledgeable about banana peppers and cayenne peppers, habanera pep pers and sweet peppers, all arranged on the two strips of land in her backyard. Robinson plants the peppers in May and picks them in July and August, paying careful attention to color. The lighter the color of the pep per, the milder it will be, she said, explaining that most peppers start out green, turn yellow, and develop spiciness as they transi tion to a deep red color. Sweeter peppers are plucked earlier, while peppers for her hottest salsas are saved for later. At the end of the season, the left over peppers are frozen for use throughout the year. She usually makes three batch es more than 30 jars of pep per products during a full eight hour workday, she said, bottling and labeling each batch while enjoying the peace and quiet of her kitchen. The Piper’s Peck kitchen has been certified by the PA Department of Agriculture, which inspects every aspect of the facili ty to ensure that the products are safe for general consumption.
