ADRIAN BUILDS
“I've had an idea…” The dream garden is only the beginning. Projects, problems, mistakes and the payoff when an idea finally becomes real.

WE NEVER WERE VERY GOOD AT SITTING STILL.
It started with a few chilli plants. Somehow that became a chilli farm, restaurants, smoke and fire. Now we've moved to the Essex coast — and we're starting another chapter.
The Chilli Company
A life built around ideas.
This isn't a revival of the old chilli farm. It's the home for the world we're building now: projects, journeys, food, fire, experiments and whatever comes next.
Adrian has a habit of saying “I've had an idea…”. Denise has a habit of discovering what that idea is shortly afterwards. That has been going on for more than twenty years.
