Kia ora and welcome!

We're just a couple of mates who love spicy food, and our passion for chillies has taken us on quite the journey. It all started in 2020 when we decided to try our hand at growing some jalapeños and habaneros in our backyard. To our surprise, we actually managed to grow some decent crops, and before we knew it, we were hooked! Now we're chili connoisseurs.

We started reading up on all the different varieties of chillies out there, and we quickly discovered that there's a whole world of heat waiting to be explored. From the mild and fruity to the eye-wateringly hot, we wanted to try them all. Our obsession grew stronger, so we started growing more and more, and soon our backyards were bursting with chilli plants.

That's when we had the idea to start Ignition Seeds. We wanted to share our love of chillies with others, and we figured that selling seeds would be a great way to do it. We started small, just selling to friends and family, but word quickly spread. Our business thrived and before we knew it, we had a whole bunch of customers from all over New Zealand.

Now, we're based on the North Shore of Auckland, and we're growing chillies in three different locations...

But that's not all we're up to these days. We've also started experimenting with BBQ rubs and hot sauces! We figured that if we could grow great chillies, we might as well try our hand at making some tasty condiments too. We've been testing out different recipes and flavour combinations, and we think we've come up with some winners. We can't wait to share them with you all, so keep an eye out for them in the future.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch. We love talking about chillies almost as much as we love eating them.

So, thanks for checking us out, and we hope you'll join us on this spicy adventure!
