‘Crazy’ Chili Farm’s sales, members’ donations scale up Arizona church’s outreach efforts

In 2014, the church dedicated a 4,000-square-foot plot of land – an area that has since grown to 10,000 square feet behind the parish hall and the former rectory – where volunteers plant, nurture, harvest and grind heritage chilis into powder sold at $10 per 4 ounces. They called it the “Crazy Chili Farm.”
