Join our Hatch Chile Growers Group on Facebook and help us share Hatch chile growing tips, stories, photos, and successes with growing Hatch chiles around the world. We will share our favorite tips throughout the chile growing season to help you know how to manage pepper problems, pests or questions.

We know technically a "Hatch chile" has to be grown in Hatch to be called a Hatch, but we find that people grow our Hatch chile seeds all over the world – from Florida to California to Italy and beyond – and all with great success. Because if you can't live in New Mexico, at least you can have fresh homegrown Hatch chile to eat with every meal, no matter where you live!

Never heard of Hatch Chiles?

Well, now you have and you should grow these delicious green chiles – they are famous around the world! The Hatch chile is named after the region where it was born in Hatch, New Mexico. Hatch chile seeds are easy to grow anywhere you can grow vegetables, and they love full sun like most veggies. So bring a little New Mexico flavor to your garden, and grow some Hatch chile!

Española Improved NuMex Chile Seeds - Robust Flavor and Early Maturity

Dynamite xx Hot peppers, 4 heat lovers only!

I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,

Dynamite Green Chile Seeds - Extra Hot Variety at 12,000 Scoville

Prolific Peppers!

There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!

Tasty and prolific

This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.

Awesome peppers!

This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.

Wow! BIG JIM PEPPERS

Growing these in Florida, (Recent transplant of NM).
Lovely peppers. Took a couple weeks is all and wow! I have several budding; 2 large enough to nickname. They're still in their infancy, but I can tell they are going to be great! Love the seeds!

Jalapeno to Chipotle

I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.
