I found some Hatch fresh labelled “fiery hot” at Giant in Wheaton, not quite fiery but maybe medium or a tad hotter. Got a box of mail order hot Sandias and they were truly hot, thank goodness.
I notice that it’s possible to check Wegmans locations online individually — go to the store’s site and search for Hatch — some have it by the pound or By the 23 pound box
2020 update — Wegmans in Columbia is not doing a roast but expects to have raw hatch in starting August 14.
Thank you!
Wegmans Frederick is getting theirs August 14. No need to preorder but you can. No roasting. Just raw.
Thanks. It’s hard to find Hatch Chile roasting in MD. Maybe I’ll buy a toaster and a truck load! The aroma is worth the price!
Giant in Wheaton has raw medium, no roasting. If I found raw hot I would figure out how to roast them but I’m not great at it
Hi Tim,
I’m originally from NM. You can roast them in your oven. Place foil in the lower rack (this will catch the drippings). Oven should be set on broil. Place chile on the top rack. You must check it as it is set to highest heat. Once you get the cook consistency, pull your rack out and flip the chile. Once that side cooks, take them out. It’s a process but worth it if you can find someone to roast them. Good luck.
Any idea where you can get them roasted? I would use a grill, but I live in a condo.
Thanx for update!
There was raw hot at Gambrills Wegmans yesterday, signs for extra hot and mild but none out.
I just called the Crofton store and their catering department said they’re still on for next weekend.
Woo hoo!!
Confirmed re Columbia Wegman’s cancelling. No word on whether they would try again with a future date. Ack!
Just called Columbia to find out times for this weekend and they let me know they cancelled the event due to poor quality. Not sure about other locations.
Wegmans DID cancel their events this week. But the manager told us that they WILL be doing the roast next weekend at the Frederick store. And it will be the only location probably in the area and potentially the last roast, they said they may not do it again.
Wegmans in Frederick just told me the roasting was pushed back a week to Aug 23-26 because the harvest was later than expected.
On the Wegmans website under events it shows the dates. Called store in Columbia to confirm this.
The Events Webpage for the Hatch Chile Roast is now down…

Merkova – I was informed that Wegmans canceled their roasts. Do you know something that I don’t?
Where can I find Hatch Green Chile Roasted in Baltimore. Wegmans is not doing roasting this year. Does anyone know why.
Are the 2019 Hatch chili roasting dates in Maryland confirmed?
I received these dates from them… so, hopefully! Never hurts to call ahead of time to confirm
How much per box?
I’m not sure… each store/chain would decide on the price
Thanks for the dates. I’ve used your info. for the past 3 years. 🙂
Woo hoo!! Thanks Dan!
No one’s ever heard of “Pueblo chile”.
Well, it’s not Pueblo Chile which is superior, but being out in MD where green chile isn’t a thing, this will have to do. Stoked because I only have one bag left in my freezer!
Please… Where are the Pueblo Chile festivals outside CO?
Colorado chili is lame!! If you anything bout chile…. New Mexico is the chile capital of the world & our chile is far more robust & full of flavor & heat. Sorry to burst your bubble or rain on your parade but Hatch, New Mexico chile is #1!! That’s coming from New Mexico Native American Pueblo Indian. Chile is part of our culture & cuisine.
Harris teeter and whole foods locations around Baltimore have Hatch chiles as of the date of this post.
What are the prices for the Hunt Valley, Maryland event? Also, is roasting available? Can’t wait to go. Already took the day off.
Here’s how the Bel Air Wegmans holds their annual Hatch Chile weekend:
They’ll have roasters set up in the parking lot near the store, and samples either near the roasters, or by the entrance. That’s because they’re selling hatch chiles with several levels of heat – mild, medium, hot, and sometimes extra-hot. Heat varies year-to-year, so it’s best to check before you buy. (Last year the mediums were pretty mild, but the year before even the milds had a touch of heat)
If you want to buy a box of roasted chile, let them know how much and the heat you want. You’ll pay inside and pick it up as you leave (they roast by order). (I think boxes are 30 lbs.) They will have smaller trays and fresh chile available for sale inside.
They will also have a lot of prepared foods and samples available inside with hatch chiles. For example, stuffed chiles with crab, or with beef, hatch chile bialys (bagels) – and one year they even had a hatch chile and apple strudel. The hot bar will also have a lot of hatch recipes, and the cheese department will be selling cheeses and dips with hatch chiles.
Unity Church Hill Nursery at 3621 Church Hill Road in Church Hill Maryland has an abundance of Hatch Green Chili Peppers growing and is looking for a someone with a Chili Roaster or someone to come and hold a Chili Roasting event
I want only Hatch Chile from Hatch NM….is that where your chile originated from?? Thank you…its the best because of the desert weather.
Is the chili festival close to Baltimore please
What time is chile event for Crofton store? Thanks
All times for next weekend in Maryland are listed as TBD. Is there any update for next weekend?
Is the hatch chili fest in Columbia md. confirmed on sept. 9th to the 11th 2016?
Yes, this will be happening in 2016, for sure! See you there, time traveler!
