The aroma of roasting Hatch chiles is one of the best scents of summer. We love watching teams roast and tumble them like tickets in a raffle drum. Schedules just came in from our friends at Melissa’s Produce and Frieda’s Specialty Produce last week, and we’ll update this as any additions/changes are sent to us. Like last year, we set this up in chronological order for ease of scheduling. Enjoy!
