Colorado has some great 'locally' (state) grown chilies. But Hatch I
have found to be my favorite. Although some local varieties I would
(maybe) choose over Hatch, and likely over most other NM chilies.

Judging by this, http://denvergreenchili.com/default.aspx I can maybe
still get green chilies.

I have family farmers and corn though for fall interests, in Colorado,
that corn is their the main crop. The best corn.

The climate is completely perfect for these.
