It’s bizarre, but I have actually had to reevaluate my whole business plan.
The first task to set our minds to in 2009 is setting up a small but efficient bottling plant in the back of our cafe, with the future potential to allow smaller sauce companies facilities to bottle up to the strict food standards required in Australia. I’m all about helping our industry growing the correct way, and commercial kitchens set up for the specific needs of hot sauciers are few and far between in Australia.
The second and more ominous goal of the New Year is to start the great Habanero farm in Coastal Brisbane. Its’ going to be interesting to say the least. I think a lot of US sauce makers would have a chuckle to themselves at the above statement, but you would not believe how limited fresh Habanero supply is in Australia, particularly Brisbane, even though we have the most perfect climate for producing the fiery pods.
There is officially one farm that grows Habanero. That?s right?just one farm. 50 percent of their entire fresh pods go to Coles and Woolworths super markets. 30 percent (the worst quality) is pureed and bagged up and sent to food chains and some sauce companies, and the final 20 percent is pumped out through the more multicultural diverse states, sold quickly through there fresh produce markets. There have been months on end when I have not been able to buy fresh Habanero pods and frankly I am sick of it. So this summer we have put in about 300 Habanero plants, [which is] not exactly large scale yet but moving forward and in the right direction.
And we will be keeping you all up to date on how our Fiery Wing Challenge Naga and a Fatalii wing-eating competition goes as it looks to be entering the pubs and hotels around Brisbane in the near future.
Good luck to the poor fools who enter that one.

G’day Mick,
now whats this *&^p about Australia is in it’s infancy,with 300 million or so in the states then I reckon for the per% we have better HS makers here….LOL
So many co-packers making the same sauce base for people then they all enter the same competitions WTFF.
We’ve been giving them yanks the S*&^’s for years.
As for the Hot Sauce movement here in the land of Oz it is alive and well, so it’s time for you to come down to the 10th Anniversary Hot Sauce & Fiery Foods festival in Jindivick and party again and not just sit in Brissy chinwaging.
Hey you also forgot to tell them yanks that we southerners head north every year to show you Queenslanders & Territorians how to make a good mango chutney LOL
Happy New year mate
Best regards
Horrible Haggis
LOL LOL LOL

That is such great stuff Mick, congrats on taking the next step. I wish the very best and hope you can get some of those Aussie sauces shipped to Jungle Jim’s before the next Weekend of Fire in August. Make that a goal, and I am sure Bret will be glad to help make that happen.
One day I would love to have the cash to make it for that show in Aussieland.

Yes Mick- Haggis talked me into another round there. I leave Feb 3rd with a short stop over in California to visit some family. Only in Oz a week this time. Then to New Zealand to see a dear old friend for a few days and then stopping in Albuquerque for the Fiery Foods Show on the way back home.
I have a comitment from my wife to join me next year on this trip & we intend to do a bit more exploring of Oz than has been managed so far. Somehow, I think there’s more to the country than Warragul, Jindivick, Robin Hood, Neerim South and Druin

Sounds like a whirrle-wind trip you have going there. Be safe and watch out for wombats!
Comment fired by Jonathan Passow — January 15, 2009- 10:40 am
If you come out for the 11th HSfff I’ll be down to say ola, and yes there is a whole lot more to see.
You’ll love Brisbane, I’ll cook you some great food and show you and your wife a good time.
Have a blast this year I really wish I could get there but am just snowed under up here and can’t justify shutting the shop for the the whole HSFFF weekend.
Don’t let Haggis push you around. lol
