Does anyone know where I can find fresh cherry peppers?

I Love cherry peppers and used to find them back in NY. I haven't been able to find them anywhere since moving to Cali. I have checked whole foods, traders joes, Safeway and the vegetable stand on highway 1 near Capitola. Thanks!

    They're usually called pimentos around here. I've seen them at Berkeley Bowl. Normally they'd be out of season this time of year but I found some fresh ripe local red peppers there around Christmas.

      +1 to this - Berkeley Bowl West would have them, as might Monterey Market in North Berkeley.

      You could also check Rainbow Grocery in SF.

      But as Robert said above, now is not exactly pepper season, so you might have to wait a few months :(
