Protecting our place of origin
A place worth
protecting.
The Hatch name is recognized worldwide. Behind that name are the families who farm this valley, and the land that gives their chile its character.
Certification gives honest producers a way to prove their origins, and gives buyers a clear, verifiable way to know the chile they buy genuinely comes from the Hatch Valley.
Why protecting the name matters
