Heating Up

Fire never tastes so good!

It’s that time again.

You’re driving to the post office or standing in your doorway, and the air’s a little sweet, a little pliant. For the next five weeks, the whole city smells like dinner. And you’ve got all of September to pickup (and roast, on weekends) bag after bag of Seco Spice certified organic chile. Seco Spice is one of New Mexico’s top chile producers, and having been in the game since 1997, with exports all over the world. The Co-op has a ton of it available, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a comparable value anywhere. Call your local store for roasting schedules. We’ll see you in line.

Nob Hill  265-4631
Valley  242-8800
Santa Fe  984-2852

Optionally, you’ve also got Rancho de Las Rosas organic chile on sale on their behalf in the Valley and Nob Hill parking lots. In his retirement, Albert and Connie Bustamante sit on over 70 years of swear-by-the-stuff customers. Roasting lights up at Nob Hill on Sept. 11; Valley on Sept. 18. Sign up at the info desk and be there before 11:00 AM or call Christine or Arnold at 575-835-4951 to arrange pick up.

Both varieties will feature varying levels of heat.
