Want to order hatch peppers

Where's a good place to order hatch peppers.

recruiterg · August 14, 2011

I could be wrong and I am sure someone will correct me if I am, but I believe Hatch Pepper is a generic term that describes a group of peppers such as Numex Big Jim, 6-4, etc...

You can buy the seeds here:

http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org/cart/seeds

I believe the Heritage varieties are improved by the New Mexico Chili Pepper Institute and are superior to the older varieties in terms of taste and productivity.

Many people on Tomatoville have these seeds and I would assume if you put a note in the seeds wanted section, someone would send you the seeds for SASE or trade.

Thank you, but I actually want to buy the peppers.

Thanks for the link mdvp. I planted my numex varieties in a area of
my garden they did not like at all. I did get some, but only a little.

if you've got a wegman's store in va beach (we got one in fredericksburg a couple of years back) they do a hatch event each year...roast them in the parking lot and everything...

Hop on a plane to Texas and go to any H-E-B. They have pallets of Hatch chiles.

Have you considered growing Beaver Dam? also I find peppers do better in containers.

Happy to help.

roper -
Hatch chile is a generic term for chile grown in that area. It's pretty good - and Hatch grows tons of it.
Up here we still grow the Chimayo native chile, which was the standard before the war and before the big farms down south pretty much drove folks out of business. It's adapted to high altitude and the plants don't handle mechanical cultivation. It has a different flavor and sort of heat. If you're ever up this way, I'd say try it.
I swear this this is the best time of the year, when the air smells like roasting chile everywhere you go!

Do you mean peppers, seeds or plants? I can get fresh, roasted peppers for about $1.75 at the local Mexican grocery. They are delicious!
I have a New Mex Anaheim growing. It's a Big Box plant so who knows which variety. It has a bunch of peppers set right now, just started setting, it was too hot all summer.
I could ship peppers, although it could be a bit of a pain. Not sure how to do it? Maybe with some cool packs in an insulated box?
If you don't need them roasted it would be easy. I can get the fresh ones at the same store or our produce market.

Hatch chiles are a pepper of the Anaheim variety brought to Anaheim California by Emilio Ortega thus its name.
They originated in New Mexico or there abouts and are of different hotness.
Some have thicker skins than others.
The Chile Relleno is my favorit mexican food and the Pablano or Anaheim pepper is the best for this dish.
If you were from the middle east you would call it a Dolma which simply means to be stuffed.
Another type of Dolma is made from grape leaves that are rolled up like a Burrito and steamed.
One more would be a stuffed squash.

I buy my peppers from HEB or Fiesta stores here in Texas.
The fiesta stores are a little cheaper and I can buy all of my international foods there most of the time.
I just purchased 6 pounds of durum semolina flour for pasta there for 1.77 a pound, the lowest price yet.

The Hatch peppers where 77 cents a pound last year.

Oh yes I forgot to tell you guys I like to cook and hardly ever have the same thing in a month.

Right now my dog Boo Boo and I are finishing off a roasted leg of swine.
Dolmas are on the menu this weekend made with grape leaves and stuffed with rice mushrooms and stewd and de-boned camel tail.

Not all grape leaf dolmas are steamed. In many cases they're boiled in EVO. Not exactly low on the cholesterol or fat content...but ohhhhhh so delish.

As for this weekend's menu...you had me going until you got to the camel's tail. Boney, stringy, tough and IMHO not worth the time to cook it...but hey....to each their own. Camel tails make better fly swatters than food....

Thank you Tracy. Some very generous person on another forum sent
me some from the hatch festival.
Here in Virginia beach, you don't find Numex peppers that are any good, if
you find any.
I did plant some numex pepper seeds this year. A whole bed of them. Everything
I planted in that bed got diseased. Something in that soil. They will go in a
different spot next year.
