You are placing a pre-order for Fresh Hatch Chile! We will begin shipping when we can begin harvesting. Harvest for Fresh Red Chile typically begins in late September. This is fresh, unprocessed chile.

THIS IS A PRE-ORDER FOR THE 2024 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.
