The Hatch Chile Store

At The Hatch Chile Store we have a tradition of excellence. Our family currently farms over 300 acres of prime farmland in the Hatch valley, and we've been in the produce business for more than 60 years, dating back three proud generations. Headquartered in Hatch, New Mexico, The Hatch Chile Store's history and heritage ensure that when you buy our hatch green chiles, you're getting the very best chile straight from a family farm. Berridge Farms, (our family's farm) has served the Santa Fe market for more than 15 years selling thousands of pounds of fresh hatch green chile each year at the intersection of Cerrillos & Baca in downtown Santa Fe every fall. Our family retails in Santa Fe from mid August to late September. Most weekends, you'll find two or even three generations of Berridges helping to roast and sell our famous product. Hatch green chile, grown only here in the Valley around Hatch, New Mexico, are famous for their great flavor and have been featured in countless publications from magazines such as Sunset or Country America all the way to international features on BBC. Quite often, you'll find chile sold as "Hatch" in grocery stores that isn't actually from here in the Valley. This is a shame as, once you've had the real thing, you'll never go back! When you want that authentic flavor that's made our chile famous, it's got to come from here in the Hatch Valley. Our family grows 4 varieties of hatch chile on the farm: Mild, (New Mexico #20) ranges in size from 6-9 inches, and has a very mild flavor with little to no heat. This would be a good starting point for someone wanting to try our product who doesn't particularly like spicy foods. It is meaty and a good choice for very mild rellenos and enchilada sauces.
