I agree! It is enjoyable to visit various locales during harvest season. New Mexico, where I mostly grew up, is a tough place to grow almost anything because it rains little, has late Spring freezes and alkaline soil. Yet back in 1913 at NMSU Fabian Garcia developed a commercial chile that is renown worldwide as Hatch Chile. It is commercially grown in Dona Ana County, along the Rio Grande.

While Hatch Chile is delicious and almost always used in making Chile Rellenos I prefer some other varieties in other dishes. I usually order red rather than green at a restaurant. Red or green? Your answer speaks volumes about you in New Mexico

Dixon apples grown in Northern New Mexico were great! In 2016 the land was traded back to the Cochitis for land in Santa Fe. Oh well... Some decent wines are now being produced from vineyards in NM. I discovered some grown from the original root stock brought by the Spaniards when they settled there. New Mexico Office of the State Historian | people

IMHO: Wherever you go, there you are so enjoy what an area has to offer.
