THIS IS A PRE-ORDER FOR THE 2026 CROP. We expect to start harvesting in SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER.
Big Jim and Charger are two of our favorite varieties. They have big meaty pods that are very easy to roast and peel. These varieties have somewhat inconsistent heat levels from pod to pod and from year to year, so expect a lot of variation. Medium pods can grow between 8 and 14 inches in length. They can range on the Scoville Scale from 500-3,500 SHU.

This a gift every year for one of my dearest friends. If you ship please get the delivery they tell you. It's so worth it. The red chilis were so good she said. We had to reship because the delivery wasn't done. Hatch promptly reshipped because I ordered the shipping guarantee. She was so grateful for the red chilis. Thank you Hatch chili. See ...

We moved from Texas to Florida last year, and my husband has been desperately missing easy access to fresh Hatch chiles. Reds are his favorite, so we made the investment in a 25-lb box this year and we were delighted! Huge chiles, beautifully colored, and a very zesty medium-hot. My husband roasted them all on his Traeger and then made 2 gallons...

We ordered 3 boxes of fresh red chilies sent to Texas. The chilies were shipped later than expected,, 2 day shipping. They were very fresh. meaty, and nice. The flavor is excellent, but on the hot side. Definitely will order from The Hatch Store again.

Wow! do these have a beautiful and rich taste. I will mix them with some of my green chile. Thank you for the over night delivery. I did have to throw a few away because they were going bad. I received them in the evening and roasted them the next day.
