Prime Time has its growing districts located in climates that are best suited to growing peppers. Taking advantage of the best weather - beginning in the Coachella Valley in the spring, moving northwest as the summer heats up, with a return to the south as fall drifts into winter - Prime Time is always growing in the perfect location.

DID YOU KNOW?

Peppers are actually fruits, which form on the plant after they flower. If green peppers are left on the vine long enough, they will mature and turn from green to red, yellow, orange or other colors - depending on their specific cultivar.

CALIFORNIA

Bakersfield

Prime Time moves to this vast agricultural center of California to supply the acreage needed as demand increases in the early summer months.

Coachella

One of the richest growing regions in the world, this fertile ground and warm climate are ideal for the demands of growing premium-quality peppers. Coachella Valley is the base of Prime Time's operations. Peppers are grown both in spring and fall seasons.

Oxnard

Oxnard's cool coastal climate is perfect for growing peppers in the hot days of summer and consistent enough to extend the supply chain through the end of summer and the beginning of fall.

MEXICO

Baja

As the winter months in the United States become inhospitable to the
growing of peppers, Prime Time harvest moves south to Mexico. Thousands of acres in production, including hot houses and packing facilities, enable Prime Time to continue to supply the market throughout the winter. Growing, harvesting, and packing operations in Mexico are controlled at the highest level of food safety requirements.

Culiacan
