My family moved from Dayton Ohio to Albuquerque New Mexico in 1979 where I spent my formative years. There are many unique things about New Mexico, the most being the Hatch NM Green Chile (HGC). Green Chile is everywhere. This is something I took for granted until I moved back East after Graduating from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces NM, just South of Hatch. I found myself craving HGC and it was not easy to obtain. I started by transporting it back from visits home and occasionally ordering it shipped frozen. Eventually I started making a queso dip as the primary method of getting my HGC fix.

A half dozen years ago or so, something amazing happened. Wegman's a NY based grocery chain that had moved into the DC area started doing a HGC festival every August after the annual harvest. They brought in a truckload and a roaster and I was able to obtain large quantities of HGC...I was buying 300 pounds a year and freezing them for future use. This enabled me to make and share more queso with more people all over the world. Being in the events business I traveled heavily and if you were a client of prospect of ours you were going to experience the joy of the HGC! From 2017 to 2019 I produced and delivered more than 3,000 pints of queso to people from Leesburg VA to Shanghai China.
