Demand New Mexican Grown Chile!

Many restaurants buy Mexican chile or chile from other countries because it’s cheaper (cheaper labor, less or no regulation).

It was estimated that in 2018 New Mexico’s chile production was at $53.8 million with a reported 8,400 acres of chile planted and 7,900 harvested.

The high altitude, desert climate, and rocky soil that make up our rugged growing environment give our chiles their distinctive, treasured flavors. Which is why we only buy New Mexico grown and certified green chile.

Other companies label their chile with the “Hatch”or New Mexico name because they have a P.O. box in Hatch,or New Mexico, or their chile is processed there or because they know the label Hatch/New Mexico grown has cache for consumers, but it is not necessarily grown in Hatch, or in New Mexico.
