David,
Just now talked (12:30pm, Sept. 28th) to Mary Garcia at GNS Spices
and cut our order off at 28 10-lb. boxes.
She requests that you DO NOT publish her phone number(s).<<<<
"We're wholesalers and the only reason we did it with you<<<<<<<
is because of the tradition with Rob."<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
She is going to fax me a release which says "I will not use the seeds
for growing."
They license "many growers" but only for growing red savinas
"for use in that licensed grower's PRODUCTS."
The rest of this exhaustive stuff below brings you up to date
as of now (when I did the 280# cut-off).
Scott & Rob & Andrew are good
"connected and caring"
info sources
for peppers stuff.
For growing (anything),
Orin Martin, Garden Manager (Alan Chadwick Garden),
Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems
is the best local source.
He is a wonderful guy but Luddite, so affects (IMHO) NO email.
You can almost reach him by phone
(831) 459-2321
or by email to associates with the same phone number:

or by snailmail:

I just called Mary Garcia at 4:08 pm Sept. 27th.
They have 80 acres of red savinas.
At 18 inch spacing in rows 3 feet apart,
that's 774,400 plants
yielding 1 to 3 lb. each
or about $1.5 to $4.5 million gross.
Since our 280 lb. is only
about 1/3000th to 1/9000th of their savina business,
so we're very minor customers.
Mary will accept only a SINGLE
money order or cashier's check to GNS Spices
FOR THE FULL AMOUNT
so I can give it to Driscoll when I pickup in Oxnard.

The following three people are included in the pickup at Oxnard
but need to get in contact re: $ & where they'll pickup:

Then I'll show you the gas receipts when you pick up your peppers:
Round trip is 621.6 miles
[no extra charge beyond this for
getting the savinas at Dave's HotLuck,
since I'm going up there anyway].
http://www.mapblast.com/mapblast/preboth.hm?FAM=mapblast&CMD=WEBPATH&pre=1&DGAD2=3939+E+Hueneme+Rd&DGAD3=Oxnard%2C+CA++93033-8216&OIC=%3A&OIC=680&OIC%3A=&OAD2=2710+Chanticleer&OAD3=Santa+Cruz%2C+CA+95065&DIC=34.14703%3A-119.09659&DIC=8&DIC=&PDU=MI&PCT=EASY&SEC=preboth
Also, Rob says allow for 7# total shrinkage in 25 10-lb boxes.
My '83 Toyota pickup gets at least 18 mpg (unloaded)
621.6/~18 = ~36 gallons
36 gallons at $1.50/gallon (or less) = $54
$54.00/280# = $0.20/# extra
So pepper should be Garcia's $2/# + $0.25/# = $2.25/lb
Any "profits" I'll donate to Grey Bears.

Pick-up points:
Dave's HotLuck

or
