An heirloom fruit, the tabasco pepper traces its lineage directly to the seeds Edmund McIlhenny planted on Avery Island during his lifetime. Peppers are harvested during the months of August thru December and each morning every worker is handed a Le Petit Baton Rouge, a little red stick, to be sure that the peppers are the perfect tabasco red and are ready to be picked. Be sure to spend some time in stop 2 admiring all of the different stages of our peppers!

So much to see and so much to do! Join us on the Avery Island Experience for an unforgettable taste of the South🌶
