Fall is almost here and if you close your eyes, you can almost smell the
heavenly odor of roasting chiles at Farmers Markets and at the family
chile stands along Federal Boulevard. Yum! Load up on green chiles at the Pearl Street Farmer's Market on Sunday mornings, or drive along Federal or Santa Fe Boulevards until you find a stand you like. Remember that the best green chiles don't come from New Mexico, but from Pueblo Colorado, and maybe you want to take a road trip to Pueblo, where they will celebrate the harvest of the Mira Sol Chile at the 17th
Annual Loaf ‘N Jug Chile & Frijoles Festival, September 23-25, 2011.More info
here.
