MATTHEWS, N.C. (Aug. 1 , 2024) – Harris Teeter announced today that Hatch Chiles, a seasonal summer favorite, will be available for a limited time at participating Harris Teeter stores. Along with offering fresh peppers, the Harris Teeter Hatch Fest kicks off August 1 and runs through the month. The festival features Hatch Chile tastings, infused products, prepared foods and roasting events.

“We are thrilled to offer our customers these smoky-sweet Hatch Chiles, celebrating the flavors unique to New Mexico,” said Danna Robinson, director of corporate affairs for Harris Teeter. “This season, we’ve curated a diverse range of Hatch Chile products, for our customers to explore and enjoy, plus a lineup of exciting in-store samplings and events.”

Harris Teeter’s commitment to fresh, high-quality products remains true during Hatch Chiles season as these chiles are picked, packed, and shipped direct from the Hatch Valley of southwestern New Mexico’s Rio Grande region, making their way to store shelves within days of harvest.
