The season comes but once a year - it's the very brief but very important harvest of the Hatch Chile. They are a prized New Mexican chile grown in the Mesilla Valley just north of Los Cruces. That's where sunlight is intense and the nights are cool. This combo creates a chile that has a wonderful earthy flavor, with a hint of sweetness and kick to it.

 

Though the Hatch chile season is only six weeks long, at the roasting you can get a box of chiles and let the experts roast them for you on the spot.  Then you can freeze the roasted peppers and eat them all year long.  We carry a full line of Hatch chile products, from the brand Melissa's, guaranteed to heat up your cooking 365 days a year - instead of just during the six week season!  From salsa, to Dried Hatch Chiles…and from Hatch  Chile Powder to  a Ristra or string of chiles Brookshire Brothers brings Hatch home!
