Sichler Farms — Attraction in Albuquerque

Nestled right here in the heart of the city is a little gem that brings the rich harvests of southern New Mexico to our doorstep. This farm stand, a true embodiment of the farm-to-table ethos, is run by a family whose roots stretch deep into the fertile lands of Deming, NM. While their farm may be hours away, their dedication to bringing the freshest and most flavorful chiles to the local community makes the journey well worth it.

For years, this stand has been our go-to destination for the best chiles around. There’s something about the experience that keeps us coming back. From the moment you step out of your car, you’re hit with the intoxicating aroma of freshly roasted chiles that fills the air—a scent that signals both the arrival of harvest season and the promise of flavor-packed dishes ahead. The rustic charm of the stand, with its friendly, knowledgeable staff, makes every visit feel like catching up with old friends. You’ll often find the owners themselves behind the counter, ready to share a story about their farm or offer cooking tips to make the most of your purchase.

Beyond the unbeatable quality of their produce, the prices here are refreshingly fair. In a world where farm-to-table often comes with a steep price tag, this place remains grounded, offering some of the best deals you’ll find for chile in the region. And the quality? Absolutely unmatched. These chiles are consistently plump, vibrant, and bursting with flavor, whether you’re buying them fresh, roasted, or dried. We’ve tried other places over the years, but nothing quite compares to the depth and richness of flavor we get here.

It is a convenient location, not far off the interstate I-25 within about a quarter mile. Clean and...

I'm a New Mexico native who had to move out of state due to health reasons, and it's the holiday season and we all know what that means.You need posole and you need chile.

Oh, and the shipping...
