I am a big fan of New Mexico Chiles including the Chiles from New 
Mexico State University.

I sell Espanola Improved and Chimayo and would love to sell seed for 
Velarde if they are available from a commercial wholesaler. The 
hottest Nu-Mex Chile that I know of is Nu-Mex Barker or Barker's Hot.
The Hatch Chile that seems to be most popular is Nu-Mex Big Jim named 
after the father of the biggest Hatch retailer.

PS: My SO just gave me permission to attend the Fiery Foods Festival 
if I can get a decent airfare. I will do so:-)
