Howdy! I saw the first batch of Hatch chile being roasted yesterday, it was from young guns out of Hatch (Great Farmers!) You got an early batch of Chile for sure. Usually the roasting begins in August/September. A lot of green chile is coming out of Lemitar, New Mexico, way different taste, more like a hay flavor. I am hoping this year will be a hot batch, The farmers had to struggle with water issues this year, as it is a pretty dry this season. Cheers!
