About Us

*Hey everyone! This is Emily typing! The Chile Acres website is undergoing some serious remodeling, so bear with me while I edit and mess around and learn how to work this silly thing. Check back every now and then to see what else I can do! Hopefully by the end of this the site will be a lot more user friendly, the shop will be updated with tons of new products and be easier to use. We’ll even fix the whole “Shipping” issue. But as they say…nothing good comes easy. Or something like that. Anyways. Thanks for your patience!*


Chile Acres Farm
is located in Tonopah, AZ and operated by husband and wife, Jimmie and Celia Petersen.  The Petersens raise Chili Peppers, Doxies, Salukis, Pinto and Arabian Horses, Chickens, Cheviot and Navajo Churro Sheep and Nubian Goats.  They sell eggs, goat milk soap, goats, horses, and an occasional puppy (puppies by reservation only to approved homes).  Celia and her sister Pam own Barn Goddess Goat Cheese Products.

We also started our very first sheep herd in the spring of 2011!  As listed above, we have Cheviot and Navajo Churro sheep. We love them and love the lovely wool they give us. We sheer the sheep on the farm, card the wool, use plants to make all natural dyes of all colors, spin it into yarn and crochet hats, scarves and headbands of all shapes, sizes and colors!
Feel free to Contact Us about getting something made custom for you.
*We hope to soon add a Wool section to our site!*

Chile Acres welcomes visitors by appointment at 623-341-0868 and our animals love people!  Bring out your children to see what life on a farm is like.  We welcome home school groups and families.

Hi Celia! I will be returning to Arizona in May (hopefully) to visit everyone! I will be bringing the new man in my life if he can afford to come, but if not I’ll still be coming if everything works out.

Scott (my new man) and I were wondering when you might be expecting a new litter of doxies. We might be interested in purchasing one from you depending on the fee and if we’ll be in Arizona at the right time.

I hope everything is going well! ttyl!

I just bought some of your amazing goat cheese from the farmers market in Phoenix. I sampled the spinach while at the market and was in awe at how there was no musty flavor! I commented on this as you told me how you go about deleting this less than favorable common flavor in goat cheese. I grew up in the state of Maine. There were several great goat creamery’s there. I’ve tasted many upon many artisan goat cheeses and yours by far outmarks anything I have ever tasted! I commend you and your husband on such a fabulous farm and great products! I will holler your name around everywhere. My mother is coming to town in a couple of weeks. I plan on taking her to your stand at the farmer’s market. Can’t wait!

It was such a pleasure to feed the little Black & White baby nubian goat at the Phoenix Farmer’s Market on Saturday. In spite of the rain, it was a wonderful experience. I dearly love those two little goats and would welcome knowing their progress as they continue to grow! Fortunately, I was able to get a picture from someone in the crowd who happened by and snapped a shot. She so graciously emailed it to me and I have shared it with friends and family.

The horse on your website named “Tara” was born on my birthday. My birthday is also Earth Day–April 22nd.
Sweet!

Today at the market I purchased some Joe Parker’s. I blackened them on the grill and made a chile-butter to put on fresh corn on the cob…yum!

P.S. Thank you for giving me tips on how to grow my own peppers :-)

Dear Jim and Cellia:
My name is Dianne Clark. My husband and I own a small herd of registered Nubian Dairy goats (Longman, Goddard Farm, Trillium Acres, Lake Shores and Thunderridge breeding) in Tonopah and are friends of Kathy and David Maniscalco. We also raise Registered Aussie Stock Dogs and some chickens. We are fairly new to this area after moving from Blackfoot, Idaho late last summer and were told by Kathy that you buy organic eggs and sell them at a Farmer’s Market. Right now we have an over abundance of eggs and wondered if we might contact you to see if we might be able to have you sell some for us. We believe we live fairly close to you as we live off of Winterburg Rd off 379.
Please contact us by email or my cell phone number is (208 681-2094)
Thank you,
Richard and Dianne

I received a holiday gift of goat cheese from your company. Due to the shipping method, the package sat at the local post office for two extra days. Tho the cheese was still cold, it was received in less-than-fantastic condition, and I think the delivery delay adversely affected the shelf life.

This is just feedback, no need to answer. It’s just a suggestion to re-think your packing and shipping for the next holiday season.

Dear Martha,
We did sent it priority and it should have arrrived within two days.
It was packaged for two days.
Thank you for your feedback, I believe we are going to use UPS in the future.
