Green Chile: The Taste of New Mexico

Fatman’s Beef Jerky is a gourmet, specialty jerky made from all natural ingredients, using excellent quality beef and flavorful spices. Two of our best sellers are green chile and red chile. New Mexico has become internationally known for its excellent chile crops…and we have captured the “taste of New Mexico” in our chile-flavored jerky.

Sun, Soil, Water & Temperature Flavor the Chile

The chile we used to flavor our jerky is grown under the Southern New Mexico sun right here in the Pecos Valley. The chile is painstakingly grown by the Buzz Graves family just outside of Roswell, New Mexico. The Graves are fourth-generation farmers and they understand the relationship between the sun, the soil, the water and the temperatures where chile is grown. The fruit of their labor is green and red chile with a zesty, robust flavor. We are proud to flavor our jerky with this incredible chile grown in the Land of Enchantment.

New Mexico Chile

In New Mexico the pepper grown most widely is the long, curved green pepper ranging from three to eight inches long. Normally peppers are a shade of green until they ripen and turn red. Also when they are grown in hot climates they tend to be hotter than those grown in cooler temperatures.

Graves Farm & Garden Offers Several Varieties

Graves Farm & Garden grows several varieties of chile including mild, medium, regular hot, Big Jim, Xtra Hot, and Xtra, Xtra Hot. We are proud to sell this outstanding chile in our online store…please visit our store to get sizes and pricing and to place your order. We can ship throughout the United States. And of course, you’ll want to try our Fatman’s Green Chile Jerky and our Red Chile Jerky—it’s “New Mexico famous” and offers the authentic flavor of our Southwestern state.

Red Or Green?

After you sample our jerky and Graves chile the only question you will be asking yourself is one repeated daily in New Mexico:
