  • Is your produce locally grown?

    Yes! Much of our produce is grown right on our family farms - from Thornton to Lochbuie. We also proudly partner with other Colorado growers to offer a wide range of local goods that support our agricultural economy.

    Of course, there are produce that do not grow in Colorado - we source those to provide you with a full range market.

  • Do you sell products year -round?

    We operate seasonally from July through October, so be sure to stock up on your favorite local goods while we're open. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook for updates and reminders as the season comes to a close.

    We offer a limited number of our jarred goods online year-round.

  • How is produce priced?

    We sell produce both by the pound and by the bushel, depending on the item and quantity you need. Whether you're looking to grab a few fresh items or stock up for preserving or canning, we’ve got you covered.

  • What is a bushel?

    A bushel is a unit of measurement used to sell larger quantities of produce.

    The actual weight of a bushel varies depending on the item.

    For example: A bushel of green chile is about 25lbs; A bushel of tomatoes is about 50lbs.

    Most of our bulk items are available in half bushel baskets. Customers who want to can, freeze, roast, or preserve produce often buy by the bushel to save money and stock up.

  • Do you sell roasted green chile?

    Yes! Roasted green chile is one of our specialties. We offer free chile roasting on-site with your chile purchase during roasting season (usually late summer into early fall).

  • How does chile roasting work?

    Simply buy your chile—minimum ½ bushel—and we’ll roast it for you at no additional charge. Roasting happens daily but ends one hour before close, so arrive early to avoid missing out!

  • What varieties of chile do you offer?

    Throughout the season, we carry about 15 varieties of chile ranging from mild to XXX hot. Whether you love a mild Anaheim, Big Jim, or something with extra kick like Lumbre or XXX Dynamite, you’ll find your favorite here. Our staff is happy to help you choose the perfect heat level.

  • Do you sell Hatch green chile?

    No. We grow all our own green chile right here in Colorado. We do not sell Hatch (aka grown in Hatch, New Mexico).

    If you haven’t tried it yet, our chile definitely beats any Hatch you’ve tried - trust us.

  • Can I buy smaller amounts of roasted chile?

    Yes! We usually have 1 lb fresh-roasted bags available on weekends, and frozen roasted chile available throughout the season, so you can enjoy chile anytime.
