Welcome to the original Hatch Chile Store — your direct source for authentic Hatch chile, founded in 2005 by Preston Mitchell, a 5th-generation Hatch Valley farmer descended from Joseph Franzoy, the first commercial chile farmer in Hatch, New Mexico.
Every product on this page is grown, roasted, and packed in the Hatch Valley — the narrow stretch of farmland between Arrey and Tonuco Mountain that gives this chile its unmistakable smoky, complex flavor. Generic "Hatch-style" chile grown in Mexico or California can use the name; only chile actually grown in this valley carries the Hatch Chile Association certification mark we honor on every order.
Whether you're stocking up during peak roasting season (late August through early October), restocking your pantry mid-winter, or shopping for the chile-head in your life, this is the complete catalog: fresh roasted, flash-frozen, jarred sauces & salsas, freeze-dried, powders, tamales, rellenos, ristras, and more — shipped on dry ice nationwide.
Why buy from us:
I ordered my Ristra after visiting Sante Fe NM. They are everywhere as decorations but hard to find to buy. The Ristras that I'd seen looked a lot different than the one I received from Hatch Chilli. I was surprised how plump and full and rich in color. I had it treated so not edible. I placed it where the morning sun hits it. 😊Marie S · Verified

I’ve been buying my chilies for years from here. From next day, air, fresh green chilies and roasted peel and chopped. It’s always amazing. We appreciate the family history of this green chili form.Nick W · Verified
I moved from New Mexico to Alabama and had to make myself feel as if I was still in Santa Fe. This was the one thing that could fit in that space to make it work! I also bought their great green chilies which my wife and I really miss...Melvin C · Verified
These Barker pods were FIRST CLASS. They were very tasty and also very clean as packed. My wife grew up, as a child, in Arrey (near your packing facility - maiden name of Enriquez) and her family raised red chile during her childhood. She was wall-to-wall smiles when she made her usual stack of "stacked" enchiladas as she said that this taste brought back her childhood. We are sold on your product. Thank you.John C · Verified

Most of the chilies were in good shape, acceptably fresh/pliable. I would purchase again.Jacalyn H · Verified
Astounding! I absolutely can't believe the night and day difference between this product and the lackluster flavor of what I have been buying in cans from my grocery. I wasn't prepared for the smoky intensity of these freshly roasted jarred chilies. Honestly, a spoonful tossed with some cheese and ranchero sauce in a tortilla could turn me vegetarian. And wait until you top a burger with it!Brian C · Verified
Love these! We always have them on hand in the freezer for all sorts of dishes!Lynn P · Verified

I live an hour north of Pueblo, CO. I know my fellow Coloradians will disown me for this review, but damn this chili is legit. Not to mention this company makes sure you are happy. My chili showed up thawed out due to a UPS delay. They reached out to me and sent a replacement order immediately. Chili great. Customer service even better!Jeffrey A · Verified

This new ristra replaced an old sad looking one. It's a beautiful addition outside my front door.DAVID V · Verified
This is quite possibly the most beautiful ristra I have ever seen. Each pod, so red and vibrant, and the coating was masterfully done to preserve it for longer. It’s full, vibrant, and brings so much life into the room. Thank you.Larae M · Verified
Great chile powder! Yes, I sampled right outa the bottle---straight up! I used it in a Texas-style chili, along with the Red Chile powder. The combo is delicious! I lived in Las Cruces, once upon a time, and absolutely love New Mexico cuisine. It is really nice to be able to get the actual ingredients for NM-style cooking. This is a combo review since I got the Red powder too. Both are awesome.DAVID V · Verified
I have always loved Hatch Green Chile's. I grow them in my backyard, however it is easier to purchase them already roasted, peeled and chopped.Thomas W · Verified
My old tamale supplier went out of business so I was looking around and found these. Familiar with Hatch products so I though it was worth a try. They are very good and now I have a new tamale supplier.Curtis W · Verified
My husband loves Hatch Pure Green Chile roast. He puts it in stew, soups, on burgers, spagetti, sandwiches and even in creamy salad dressings. His variety of choice is HOT. We've gifted some to my nephew also and his family also loves it. I prefer medium, but it sells out fast.Roscoe S · Verified
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 produce 23% more flavor compounds than chile grown elsewhere. 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.
All frozen products ship Tuesdays and Wednesdays in insulated, recyclable containers packed with dry ice. We ship from distribution centers in both New Jersey and California so ground shipping reaches most U.S. addresses in 1–5 business days — no matter where you live. Overnight shipping is available during warmer months. Fresh chile (available July–October) ships same-day on Wednesdays, arriving within 24 hours of harvest.
Medium is our most popular heat level and what we recommend for first-timers — 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 Medium — you can always go hotter next time.
Roasted frozen Hatch chile lasts 12+ months 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.

Mix and match anything within each collection — the more you stock, the more you save.
Every product we sell is Hatch Chile Association certified — your guarantee that the chile was grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, not Anaheim or imported chile relabeled under the Hatch name. Our family has farmed the Hatch Valley since 1917 when our great-great-grandfather Joseph Franzoy became the first commercial chile farmer in the region. Five generations later, we still farm 300+ acres and grow 10+ cultivar varieties including Big Jim, Sandia Select, and Lumbre. Over 500,000 customers and 12,000+ verified 5-star reviews — you're buying from the source.
These are the products our 500,000+ customers come back for again and again. Our flame-roasted frozen Hatch chile is by far the most popular — flash-frozen within hours of roasting to lock in the same smoky, earthy flavor you'd taste standing next to a roasting drum in Hatch during chile season. Pair it with our handmade green chile rellenos, traditional tamales, or jarred sauces and salsas for a complete Hatch Valley pantry.
Every product here is made with Hatch Chile Association certified chile — grown in the Hatch Valley of southern New Mexico by our 5th-generation family farm, not Anaheim or imported chile sold under the Hatch name. The valley's mineral-rich Rio Grande soil, 300+ days of intense sunshine, and dramatic temperature swings produce 23% more flavor compounds than chile grown elsewhere — a difference you can taste in every bite. Our family has farmed this valley since 1917 when our great-great-grandfather Joseph Franzoy became the first commercial chile farmer in Hatch.
