We had the pleasure of talking with the grandson and his wife, who now run the business. They were incredibly sweet, welcoming, and genuinely happy to answer questions and help us pick out products. We brought home a jar of their extra hot green salsa, and wow...it is absolutely incredible. It has a serious kick, but the heat never overpowers the flavor. You can actually taste the fresh Hatch chiles instead of just burning your mouth. It's hands down one of the best salsas I've had. Supporting a third generation family business while taking home an authentic taste of Hatch made this one of our favorite stops in New Mexico. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Order fulfillment has always been great and on time. This time however we discovered our "Hot" chiles were lacking any noticeable heat. They also look unusually long for Sandias, so I suspect they might be Big Jim or Joe Parker instead. We reached out to customer support who let us know we were probabaly "removing the vein". We've always followed the same process. Roast over an open flame, peal, remove the seeds, bag, and freeze. We never wash or de-vein the chiles and have always had a rich warm burn. After discovering the total lack of heat in this batch, we even left them roasted peeled with the seeds intact for two days in the fridge, hoping they'd develop some kick. Nothing. We're not heat chasers or "chile heads." Heck, we're from New England, not exactly known for spicy food. Usually, one pod is enough to add the perfect amount of heat to a dish. This time, I used five pods in a succotash, and the heat was barely noticeable. Honestly, this batch has only slightly more heat than a bell pepper. That's a big and disappointing departure from what we've come to expect. It really seems like we were sent the wrong chiles. But since they refuse to even consider that possibility or make it right, we'll take our business elsewhere. It's a lousy way to end what had become a beloved fall tradition for us. I'm sure our small 10-25 lb order won't matter to their bottom line, but we're genuinely bummed out.

What an adorable little tea shop in a sleepy, small New Mexico town! We were passing through on a…read moreroad trip in late 2020 (a COVID-safe way to travel), and stopped here to stretch our legs. The tiny town of Mesilla has a quaint downtown square with a few specialty shops and restaurants and, as a tea lover, I made a beeline for this place. The shop is stuffed with all sorts of loose teas, local products, honey, essential oils, and tea making accessories. Pretty much any of the locally made items would make outstanding souvenirs for any foodie. I make hot tea a lot, so I wanted to peruse all the loose leaf teas. My normal tea shop has a better and larger selection, but I really wanted to support this small business. I had a few questions about the teas for sale, and while the girls working the day I visited were very eager to help, they were sadly not well-versed in tea. Because of this, I ended up just purchasing a standard oolong because I didn't have a lot of confidence in their tea knowledge (just FYI; hopefully the owners will do a bit better training). I don't expect workers to be brew experts, but I would appreciate more thorough knowledge about specialty products. The prices are about what you'd expect for a touristy type tea shop, and when I got home, I made a pot of the oolong and it was tasty. If you love tea, check this place out if you're in the area. Friendly people and good customer service.

The magnificent truth is, Hatch New Mexico has the best chili peppers in the world.
