🌶️ Specialty Spotlight: Local Jimmy Nardello Peppers 🌶️
Now available by preorder through our Nashville warehouse, Jimmy Nardello peppers are a chef favorite celebrated for their exceptional sweetness, rich flavor, and incredible versatility.

Today, the Jimmy Nardello is considered one of America’s most beloved pepper varieties, known for its thin skin, nearly seedless interior, and outstanding performance in the kitchen.
Perfect for roasting, grilling, sautéing, or simply blistering with olive oil and sea salt, these peppers bring depth and sweetness to late-summer menus.
Proudly grown by Bloomsbury Farm and Cul2vate Farm.

🚜 Growing More Than Produce with Cul2vate 🌱
FreshPoint is proud to partner with Cul2vate, a Nashville farm that provides agricultural training and employment opportunities for individuals in recovery. Much of the produce they grow is donated locally, and during the winter months, they focus on food rescue efforts to support nonprofits across our community.
Harvest Director Adam Harper and FreshPoint Local Product Specialist Taylor Ussery recently planned the Spring/Summer 2026 crop lineup, featuring:
🌶️ Jimmy Nardello peppers
🌶️ Corno di Toro peppers
🌶️ Fresno peppers
🫐 Blackberries (through mid-July)
🍅 Rebelski tomatoes – a unique French greenhouse beefsteak variety known for its pumpkin-like ridges
For every pound of food FreshPoint purchases, another pound is donated to help feed families in need. Additionally, all proceeds from produce sales are reinvested into the organization to support the training and development of new and aspiring farmers. Join us in supporting local agriculture, fighting food insecurity, and creating opportunities for the next generation of farmers. #peoplepassionproduce #eatseasonal #knowyourfarmer #freshproduce Cul2vate
