NEW MEXICO

PEPPER SEASON

Our shipping season usually begins in late July or early August and runs through September.  We recommend that our retail clients run ads or plan roasting events in Mid-August through Labor Day. This is the peak of the harvest when the product generally has the best flavor and shelf-life.

RETAIL PROMOTION

Mesilla Valley Produce has found that roasting events really pull customers in and motivate them to buy the product. With the aroma of the peppers roasting, and product sampling people really gravitate toward the peppers. Depending on the retailers need Mesilla Valley Produce and the NMDA can help retailers with marketing ideas and employee training.
