Hello,
Use to live in NM and eat about 50lbs of green chilis a year, Extra Hot!. We have got them from Wegmans the last 4 years in Richmond but the last two years they were not hot at all even tough we ordered Extra Hot in advance. They also were not roasted correctly, the peals were stuck and to a lot of work to get them off. I love the convenience of getting them through Wegmans but do not want them if they are not Hot. Anyone else run into this and no why? Any ideas on where to get them and know they will be Extra Hot and roasted correctly?
Thanks
I bought my own table top green chile roaster, to roast them myself. Last year I was talking to the roaster at Wegmans and she said that she just drew the short straw and really had no idea what she was doing. I don’t trust their roasting at all. I got the medium roaster than can hold 10 pounds at a time. So much better to roast yourself.
I got some from Wegmans in Fredericksburg two years ago, and they were not roasted correctly–they were completely charred. I ordered medium because I wasn’t sure how hot they’d be, but they definitely tasted mild. I’m going to just buy the fresh chiles from Wegmans’ produce section this year and roast them on the grill myself. I’m going to buy hot this year…hopefully, they’ll actually be hot!
I thought the same exact thing, the extra hot was just medium heat, and I had to clean off all the skin they left behind
We found green chile at the Harris Teeter in Ashburn. They are expecting to have it for at least the next month and the produce manager is not happy about it. If you go into that location you should ask to speak to the produce manager and thank him for carrying it. They have Mild and Hot, and maybe Medium, and very large and thick. Apparently Corporate office is forcing them to carry it, so I expect most of their locations to have some.
Happy to see so many site in Virginia this year! Thanks for maintaining the web site.
Just spoke to Wegmans in short pump. They will also be roasting 27-29. Pre-orders start in person on the 9th.
I spoke with the produce section at the Charlottesville Wegman’s this week and learned they are planning a three-day roasting event with Hatch chiles Aug. 27-29.
AWESOME! Thank you for letting me know. I’ll add that to the list!
Are there going to be any roasting sites near Virginia Beach or Norfolk VA in 2021 season
Just added a couple Virginia dates. Hope those are close to you!
Just left the Wegmans on Virginia Beach Blvd. I had gone in and bought 10 pounds… I hurried outside to the roaster!!
They would NOT ROAST MY CHILES!
I would have to buy a case for $60!
I was very upset with this! I drove 1.5 hours to get there from Kitty Hawk, NC.
I just called the Dulles, VA 20166 location. They ARE having a roasting event, 9/3-9/5. You must pre-order at the service desk. Can start doing so as of now. Can order roasted or not. Mild, medium & extra hot.
Awesome!! Thank you for letting us know
Are you referring to harris or wegman’s?
Harris Teeter – Wegmans won’t release their dates. You’d have to call your local store
Are there going to be any Virginia roasting sites near Virginia Beach, or Norfolk VA in 2021?
Just added a couple Virginia dates. Hope those are close to you!
The closest roasting I have found so far is Williamsburg. Fresh Marget will have green chile but they won’t be rosting. 🙁
Wegmans Va Beach will have a roasting this weekend (20-22), starting at 11 am. There are no preorders. So excited!!!!
I am now home from my wasted trip to Wegmans on Virginia Beach Blvd
Just like years past (BUT it was at Krogers or Harris Teeter…)
I went inside and bought my Hatch chiles , and went outside..
They would not roast them!
I had to buy a $60 case of chiles from outside .. I offered him money to roast mine anyway…
Nope.. “ have a nice day”
I am so upset over this!!
Is it Wegmans or this is the new way??
Pam
What are the prospects for onsite roasting this year (2021) here in Virginia. I missed out last year and it’s been a painful withdrawal!
Should be getting info this week or next on upcoming hatch chile roasting dates and locations!
Thanks! Hoping to find Hatch chiles here in Richmond. I am happy to roast them myself.
Hi Cindy – Just added a Wegmans roast, thanks to Wilson. 🙂 Not sure how far that is, but if you give your local store a call and find they are roasting, please let me know
I just spoke to someone in the produce department at the Midlothian, VA Wegman’s and they expect Hatch Chile to be able by the middle of the month, possibly a week or so later.
Hatch Chiles are arriving at Kroger stores in central and western Virginia. No roasting available. Selling by the pound. Ask produce manager if a case discount is possible.
Where, and if, a chile roast in 2021 in Washington DC area?
Should be getting info this week or next on upcoming hatch chile roasting dates and locations!
Wegmans Fredericksburg VA sept 3-5, I just spoke with customer service to verify.
Awesome! Thank you for letting me know. Added to the page
Also from the NMSU Alumni Association in DC on 17 Aug 2020 “Yes, good news Aggies, the Fresh Market on King Street in Alexandria has received their shipment of green chile! The store has told us that you will have to place orders directly with the store to get your box, but you may be able to place a mobile order via insta-cart.
We are sad to not be able to roast the chile for you all this year, but are grateful to the store for placing the order and to New Mexico’s chile farmers for their product.”
I found hot just now at Fresh Market in Williamsburg. No roasting but they had chiles in the produce section.
Wegman’s in Chantilly, VA just had green chile roasting last weekend but didn’t advertise it. A friend of mine saw green chile in the Wegman’s at near Dulles today, but I was told they were doing their roast the weekend of the 28th…
Went to the Dulles Wegmans yesterday. They are NOT doing the traditional roast—they are pre-roasting and then you can buy them in 1 lb packs. They aren’t doing boxes as they have in previous years.
I called Wegmans – Short Pump to ask when they were going to have green chile roasting. They said, “This weekend, hopefully.” I’ll know more today.
So did you find anything more out about them roasting chilis in short pump?
Wegmans short pump IS CONFIRMED for roasting on Friday. I ordered a case of hot for pick up. Hot is all that is available FYI.
SWEET! Added to the schedule… Thank you so much
Does anyone know if something like this will be taking place again this year?
I bought a case of roasted at the Losson Rd. Wegmans in Depew N.Y. today. We are very disappointed, they must be water logged from all the rain this year. No flavor and basically no heat for med. peppers.
Yeah… Weather in Hatch, NM this year has caused harvest delays and crop failures. =( It’s hit or miss from what I’m hearing.
https://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/cool-spring-weather-causes-chile-harvest-delay/
Is it a delay or has the weather damaged the crop to the point there will be no or very few East Coast Roasts?
Harris Teeter
2105 Princess Anne Road
Ste 100
Virginia Beach
Aug 17th & 18th
10am – 5 pm
Hatch Chile roast
I would recommend calling to make sure.
Greetings Chile Heads, Called HT’S, about 1200 today and no roasting going on at the Princess Ann 10-20.Plenty of raw Chile’s .
Thank you Cyndie. 25 lbs of hot freshly roasted hatch chiles 🙂
Why have all Wegman’s halted roasting? Is this temporary?
Weather in NM has made it impossible to harvest the chiles. As a result, there have been a lot of canceled roasts. =( So sad!
Is it a delay or has the weather damaged the crop to the point there will be no or very few East Coast Roasts?
We recently relocated to Virginia. We live in midlothian. Is there any locations near us that will be roasting chilies?
Wegmans in Midlothian was on the roasting schedule, but Wegmans has cancelled all roastings. 🙁
Not true. Wegmans Charlottesville is still on for roasting Aug. 23, 24 and 25.
There has not been an official statement from Wegmans regarding the peppers, as of right now it seems like its still going on..
When will they have the Hatch Green Chile in Woodbridge, VA
Wegman’s cancelled all roasting????? Any idea why?
Frank – weather in NM has been bad, making it impossible to harvest the peppers. Unfortunately, resulting in canceled roasts. =(
Not true. Wegmans Charlottesville is roasting Aug. 23, 24 and 25.
Could you please tell me if they will be roasting anywhere in Virginia Beach.
Will they have X-Hot in Virginia this year?
You would have to call the store to see… they could probably order some in special for you if you ask them!
I am from NM and we just moved to VA and I am dying for chili?. Anything closer to Hampton?
Not yet… but more dates and locations should be coming in
The Fresh Markets in the area (one in Newport News) sell them preroasted. I was hoping the new Va Beach Wegmans would get the fresh roasting
I am also in Hampton and I get mine from The Fresh Market in Newport News around mid August. Just keep checking their website. You can place an order in advance and pick up at the store. You will have to roast them yourself though.
I am close to Blacksburg, VA as well.
I would love if we could have some.
I grew up in Santa Fe, NM and this was the best time of year!
Please come to SWVA.
LS
Any reason you don’t come to Blacksburg anymore? Up to two years ago we had Chile roasting at our local Kroger.
Each store has to decide if they are going to roast chiles. It’s not up to me. =)
Just spoke to produce at Charlottesville Wegmans. They said they are roasting about 8a-5p this weekend, Friday-Sunday. Chilis are $2.99/lb or $39.99 for 25-lb case. Roasting is free, takes about ten minutes. They are offering mild, hot, and extra hot varieties.
Sorry–chiles, not chilis!
The Fresh Market has them again this year! https://www.thefreshmarket.com/our-products/hatch-chiles You can order online to pick up about 4 days in advanced. 25lb cases for $39
Have you tried Fresh Market? They generally carry them preroasted and generally have mild to hot. I’m from Hampton Roads and miss the fresh roasting locally. Hopefully when Va Beach gets Wegmans next year we’ll get them back?
Sounds like Wegmans has stopped carrying mild, and the medium was too hot for my family last year. Anyone know of places in VA or Washington, D.C. that will carry mild chile?
I was just at the Wegmans in Sterling/Dulles. And they did have unroasted and roasted mild. Should have them in stock until Monday or Tuesday.
Hope you see this in time!!
No Va Beach this year? So sad! Lines typically wrap around Krogers and completely sell out so definitely high demand in Hampton Roads area.
Fresh Market and they are roasting it
And this chile is grown I’m hatch, New Mexico, not the same kind of chile grown in Mexico? Looking for true authentic New Mexico grown Hatch green chile. Thanks so much!
Are there any dates in Virginia Beach for 2018? Please?
So far, the closest roast we’re heard about is:
Lucky’s Market
3815 Tamiami Trail – East Naples
August 18th
11am – 4pm
Is lucky’s market in Virginia or Florida? Is there anything closer than Richmond?
Any word on Blacksburg or Christiansburg? My supplies are running low and this gal needs her green chile. SOS – please come back!
I’m working on it… I can only list what I find online. =(
Has anyone heard if there will be any stores in Hampton Roads selling Hatch? Last year The Fresh Market in Newport News sold it, no word on if they will be doing it again this year.
Keeping my eyes and ears posted for news on 2018 harvest! 🙂
Just called Short Pump Va store and picking up 25 lbs of medium an 25 lbs of hot hatch! They will roast them while I wait….produce manager said it would only tak a few minutes! Happy Chilies comen home!
What are the roasting times for the Midlothian store? 8/25-8/27? Thxs!
I only have the info they give me… get there around 11am and I’m sure you’ll make the roast!
Thxs!! Looking forward to getting my chile. Native Albuquerque girl here!
Any update on Blacksburg?
Virginia beach?
just added VA Beach location for this weekend! Don’t miss it. =)
Where is Blacksburg on the list?
Haven’t received any info from a Blacksburg store yet this year
what about Christiansburg? At this point anywhere in Southwest VA would be awesome!
2018, Will there be roasting in the Blacksburg/Christiansburg area?
The Washington DC UNM Alumni Association has an annual roast for those in the Northern Virginia area. The roast happens in Maryland but you can pick up raw Chiles in Virginia the day before.

Don’t forget Chuy’s Tex-Mex Restaurant does a Hatch Green Chile festival, not so much a roast but several Green Chile items and you can buy diced. https://www.chuys.com/news/post/celebrate-chuys-29th-annual-green-chile-festival1

That’s all for Virginia in 2017?
More dates and locations coming! Stay tuned.
Can’t wait! Today get that smell of roasting chile, and the memorys of back home in New Mexico as a child and my mother roasting them.
I prefer to roast my own that’s the fun of it.
Do thé people in the east know what they are doing when they roast? We bought some roasted Hatch chiles in Charlottesville, VS, last year and they weren’t roasted properly.
Yikes. I sure hope so! Might have to do it the old fashioned way? =P
What types of hatch green chile will you have and what is the price range? Thanks!!
Melissa – I don’t sell chiles. Just try to help you find them around the US. What grocery stores are in your area?
Typically at Wegman’s a 20lbs box roasted is $40. They also sell smaller packs of fresh chile for around $5 for 6 Chiles. They also do diced chile.
Come down to Southwest Virginia. Closer to Christiansburg, VA.
Hey Kathi – Just added more dates and locations in VA! =)
