SEPTEMBER 21, 2019 • SOCORRO, NM
All commercial growers in New Mexico are invited to register for one or both the following taste-off competitions:

Judged Taste-Off

​A panel of judges (civic and business leaders, celebrities, local personalities, athletes, etc.) will do blind tasting.

All you need to do is bring your chile! For green, bring 5 lbs. fresh chile, and we’ll do the roasting. For red, bring 3 lbs. of pod, flake, or powder, and we’ll prepare and serve it.

People's Choice

The public can sample chile directly from you and other growers at the event then vote for their favorites. Whoever receives the most votes wins!
​
Bring a table where you can share samples of your chile, like in a farmers market. Also you can sell your chile and chile products, such as fresh chile, powder, ristras, salsa, etc. We’ll even provide the roasters!
IT'S FREE TO REGISTER AND PARTICIPATE!
Registration has been extended. Register NOW!
