Hi Rick,
  My local supermarket carries a line called Frieda's & they have an online
store:

http://www.friedas.com/productcatlist.cfm?category=Fresh%20%26%20Dried%20Chi
les

I've never bought the dried chiles 'cause I grow my own & dry them. I have
bought the
fresh stuff when it looks good. Needless to say, normal disclaimers, yada,
yada, yada.
   If your soil is rocky & poor quality, you can build raised beds or try
container gardening.
I grow a lot of mine in 5 gal. pails I get for free from construction
companies, joint compound,
paint, etc. Not trying to convert you to gardening/just offering
suggestions. It's the only way
I've found to keep the home fires burning up here in the Northeast.
    Lastly, I just checked my stash & I do have enough dried Habs to send
you some.
I don't dry mine too dry, like for grinding, just enough so they can be
reconstituted
if I want or dried more later if I want to grind them. Have your addy, let
me know.
  Hope this helps,
     Paul (The NorthEast ChileMan)

net worth is!
