AUTHENTIC ROASTED HATCH CHILES

---

 We bring  the experience of the Southwest to the Northwest. Roasting Hatch Chiles is an experience. Its more than just a flavor it's a tradition. The Hatch Wagon was created  to bring that  roasting aroma to the towns and  neighborhoods of the Northwest. Join us in keeping  the tradition alive!

Our first season began when my wife, at the time, born and raised in Albuquerque recommended  I carry Hatch Green Chile in our family farmstand.  I stocked them not knowing how popular they would be.  Hillsboro cowboys would take a big bite insisting they were Anaheim's and were reduced to begging for milk.... the  "Barker" variety and  "Lumbres" are the hottest. Big Jim and Sandia are medium to hot. A 10 lb. tabletop roaster guaranteed The people would keep showing up. We roasted 5000 lbs. that season.  Later we were gifted two large roasters made in Albuquerque.  The state of Oregon requires that we comply with cooking standards. Instead of renting a kitchen, we wanted to stay mobile and the Hatch Wagon was born!

We Travel the Northwest (Currently in Oregon). The "Hatch Wagon" is equipped with a walk-in cooler, (stocked with up to 1000 lbs. Fresh Hatch Chiles)  roaster,  processing kitchen, and freezer. We post our schedule here and on Facebook @Hatch Chile NW. We fresh roast 4 Varieties of Hatch Chiles:  NM 64 (mild), Big Jim (Med). Their larger size makes them great for rellenos, Sandia (hot) & Lumbre  (X-HOT).  They come in 25 lbs. cases early in the season  (August)  and later in 40 lb. burlap sacks, reflecting shipping preferences of farms in the Hatch Valley. We sell at local farm markets or roadside in quantities by volume and fresh roast on site. All prices include roasting. We soon plan to carry a few hatch menu items and eventually a full menu.
