The Chile Pequin Cross is stunning! I have ristras and this both adds to my decor and reminds me where I grew up. Fantastic craftsmanship- I’ll be back surely!!Colin D
I love them all them, just don't last long. I finished this jar in 2 days 😁Michael B
It’s been… over 25 years… since I lived in Albuquerque, where I would have my green chiles roasted in an industrial-scale version of your Medium Chile roaster at a grocery store every year. When I saw them in your store this year, there was an audible gasp. I immediately ordered one well just to make sure I’d have and be ready before my chiles arrive. It arrive in great shape and this past week I chanced across 5# bags of serranos at a restaurant supply store, so got one to give my new toy an early “test spin”. It was, in a word, MAGNIFICO! I nearly shed real tears of joy. This is SO much better than roasting them on a gas grill, as I have been doing all these years. Each pod is much more evenly roasted and the whole batch is much more uniform than one could possibly do on a grill. And more quickly too. There’s more blistering of the skin from intense flame with less “cooking” the flesh. And there’s nothing quite like the unique aroma of chiles blistering under the correct heat. The sight and smell transported me straight back to The Land of Enchantment like I had never left. My wife was skeptical when I told her I’d bought it, but after seeing it in action and the results with the serranos she can’t wait for our fresh batch of NM chiles to arrive. I might even have to motorize it some day! (But if you come out with a kit for that in the meantime, let me know!!! 😁) I think a short video on your website would turning seeing into understanding and believing for those who’ve never had the opportunity to get the “full New Mexico” chile roasting experience in person.

This is a great roaster. Well made and the perfect size for small batches. This amount of chiles would have taken a few hours on the grill and the roasting would not be very uniform. The medium roaster had them done in a matter of minutes. I would recommend this roaster to anyone looking to get away from the grill. Now we have wonderful roasted chiles in Kentucky! Great job folks!Mike J
Thank you, did not know what I was going to do since I moved from Colorado to Florida. You have graced me with a roaster, and I have done tomatillos as well.Mike F

I'd done burgers on the grill 2 days before delivery of the Hatch Red and Hatch Red-Green, the burgers were waiting in the refrigerator...I was jonesing pretty bad for the chile. Your chile product turns burgers into a party ! "We Dont Sell Water" ! I'm hooked.Arlie W
Outstanding product. delicious!John K
Eas easy to start up and chilies roasted fast and good.Joshua H
My medium roaster arrived in perfect condition. I can't wait to try it out when my yearly supply of Sandia's arrive in a couple of months. I order between 25 and 50 pounds every year and have wanted a roaster for a long, long time. It takes me back to the 12 years I lived in Albuquerque when I had my chiles roasted in one of the industrial sized roasters.Rhonda J
I was looking for a roaster that would work. I have been using my grill for years but I would lose so much between the grate. I looked at plans to make one but for the cost just could not beat this one. Best thing is it works great!Jamie V
High quality product makes the roasting process a breeze. Was able to grille our 25 pound chile box in about 15 minutes vs the 2 or 3 hours it use to take with a regular grill. It is expensive but well worth it. I considered purchasing a cheaper option from amazon but the reviews stated those cheaper roasters did not deliver a high heat flame and left a sooty residue. Not the case with this one, it's basically a table top flame thrower! I highly recommend this made in the USA product!Guillermo M
We have ordered other roasters in the past and from other companies but this roaster is by far the best we have received, the quality of the way it is built to the regulator!! We will never go anywhere else!!Jamey M
I jus t r eceived it on Saturday and haven't had a chance to use it yet. My grandkids ar e really excited to start using it.Judy A
Wonderfully sweet and flavorful. Raw or cooked.❤️❤️❤️ANDREA E

Absolutely fantastic. My first order came in damaged but your great customer service saved the day by sending me out another order. Thank you!Nancy S
These have a wonderful taste. Add lots of flavor to the food.Deborah S
Did a side-by-side comparison with Vidalias. In my opinion, the Hatch sweet onions are just as great!-if not better! I detected minimal to no bitterness. A great tasting onion! I really didn't expect anything bad from the greatest producer of green chiles!!!DAVID V
These are so tasty. They arrived quickly and every onion was perfect. They are sweet and flavourful. Will be ordering againHeather K

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does your Hatch chile come from?
Every product on this site is grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico — the narrow stretch of farmland between Arrey and Tonuco Mountain. Our family-owned farm is in Hatch, NM, and Preston Mitchell, our founder, is a 5th-generation Hatch Valley farmer descended from Joseph Franzoy, the first commercial chile farmer in the region.
Is your chile actually authentic Hatch chile?
Yes. We are members of the Hatch Chile Association, which administers the certification mark for chile genuinely grown in the Hatch Valley. Generic "Hatch-style" chile sold elsewhere is often poblano grown in Mexico or California — ours is the real thing, traceable to specific farms in the valley.
What is the difference between fresh, roasted, and frozen Hatch chile?
Fresh chile is sold raw during the August–October harvest. Roasted chile has been flame-roasted (which blisters the skin for easy peeling) and is sold either fresh-roasted in season or flash-frozen for year-round shipping. Frozen roasted is what most customers buy outside of harvest season — same flavor, available 12 months a year.
How spicy is Hatch chile?
Hatch chile heat ranges from approximately 900 SHU (Mild — Joe Parker, 1904, NuMex 6-4) up to 12,000+ SHU (X-Hot — Lumbre) across the cultivars we grow. Mild varieties are family-friendly with gentle warmth; our Medium (Charger, replacing Big Jim) is the workhorse; Sandia Select (~9,500 SHU) is our Hot tier, and Lumbre (12,000+ SHU, varies year to year) is the X-Hot end for serious chile-heads. See our Heat Level Guide for variety-by-variety detail.
When is Hatch chile in season?
Hatch chile is harvested from late July through early October, with peak roasting season from mid-August through late September. Fresh chile is only available during these months. Frozen, jarred, dried, and powdered Hatch chile products ship year-round.
How does shipping work for frozen products?
Frozen products ship on dry ice via UPS or FedEx with 1–2 day transit. We ship Monday through Wednesday only, so frozen orders never sit in a warehouse over a weekend.
Do you ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or internationally?
We ship to all 50 U.S. states; Alaska and Hawaii frozen orders ship via expedited service due to dry-ice transit time. We do not currently ship internationally.
How long does roasted Hatch chile last in the freezer?
Vacuum-sealed, our flash-frozen roasted chile keeps full flavor for 2 years in a 0°F freezer. Once thawed, use within 7 days; do not refreeze.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on every order. If anything is not right — quality, freshness, shipping damage — email support@hatch-green-chile.com and we will make it right.
Can I buy in bulk for restaurants or events?
Yes. We offer wholesale pricing for restaurants, food-service operators, caterers, and large events. Visit /pages/wholesale-hatch-chile or email support@hatch-green-chile.com for a quote.
We know you're wondering.
Hatch Chile is a protected regional designation — like Champagne or Vidalia onions — for chile grown exclusively in the Hatch Valley of southern New Mexico. The valley's mineral-rich Rio Grande soil, 300+ days of intense sunshine, and 40-degree temperature swings between day and night are why Hatch chile tastes like nowhere else. Most "green chile" in grocery stores is Anaheim — a milder, less complex pepper mass-produced in California or Mexico. All of our products are Hatch Chile Association certified, meaning they were grown in the Hatch Valley, not relabeled from another region.
Frozen products ship on Tuesdays or Wednesdays according to the destination ZIP and service. Economy generally takes 1–3 business days by ZIP in the lower 48; Alaska and Hawaii are Overnight only. Fresh chile ships on Wednesdays during harvest, by Overnight service only. Fresh chile ships unrefrigerated and normally arrives at outdoor temperature. Check the shipping guide and fresh chile product page for current availability and expected dates.
We recommend Mild for first-timers, because fresh and frozen chile can't be returned or exchanged if the heat isn't for you. Medium is our most popular heat level — it has a pleasant, building warmth that lets you taste the signature smoky-sweet Hatch flavor without overwhelming heat. Mild is perfect for kids, spice-sensitive palates, or dishes like rellenos where you want flavor without the kick. Hot delivers the classic New Mexican heat that restaurants in Albuquerque and Santa Fe are known for. X-Hot is for serious heat seekers only. When in doubt, start Mild — you can always go hotter next time.
Roasted frozen Hatch chile has a 2-year shelf life at 0°F without significant quality loss — this is how most New Mexicans stockpile their annual supply and enjoy Hatch chile year-round. We recommend portioning into meal-sized bags and pressing out as much air as possible before freezing. Our jarred sauces, salsas, and dried products like red chile pods and powders are shelf-stable for 12–18 months in your pantry.
