    New Mexico is known for its chiles, so why not take a trip out to the Chile Pepper Institute to see…read morewhere it all began. I learned so much about the chile peppers from our docent who also runs the gift shop. I cannot even begin to go into the learnings and facts from the Institute. Since the Institute is connected to New Mexico State University, it is clear that academics, scientific findings, and research go into every part of growing the perfect pepper. Highly recommend going here just to get yourself orientated with the chile pepper. You'll come away knowing so much more about the process and types of chile peppers. You can also sample some hot sauces while here as well as purchase your own chile pepper seeds. You can also get a pack of mystery seeds at no cost and see what grows out of the pack - maybe you'll get a NuMex Big Jim (medium heat) or maybe you'll get a NuMex Sandia Select(hot strain)- who knows, and that's what makes it fun. Highly recommend adding this to your itinerary when in Las Cruces. The more you know!

    I came to the new location at the Fabian Garcia Research Center, they are open Monday-Friday 9-4…read more They feature over 100 different varieties of seeds. They also have hot sauces with free samples. There are various items in the store such as, dish towels, reusable bags, jewelry, dog toys, jerky, wind chimes and much more! Don't let the construction on University discourage you, there is a back entrance if you come down W College AVE. I had a great experience and the Chile Pepper Institute, it is a non profit and all proceeds go back into paying the student employees and furthering research. I will definitely be coming back!
