ABOUT THE NEW MEXICO CERTIFIED CHILE PROGRAM
In order to preserve the integrity of chile grown in New Mexico, we created a Certification Mark that guarantees this chile IS New Mexico Certified Chile™. The NMCA has trademarked the words and logo “New Mexico Certified Chile™” and members of the NMCA can become Licensees to use the trademark in advertising.
For generations, New Mexico Green Chile and New Mexico Hatch Green Chile have been our heritage at Bueno Foods, the pride and joy of New Mexican culture, the heart and soul of our local cuisine.
 
Our father, Joe Baca, used to say he was “bred on red and weaned on green.” He meant chile, of course! He, along with his brothers, were the first to flame roast and freeze green chile on a commercial scale. And even though there have been many imitators since, Bueno Foods remains the industry leader in innovation and quality.
