I'm sorry to hear that and sorrier that I posted about it without checking their
website. Biad is partnering with NMSU to sell frozen Heritage 6-4 and Big Jim
this year with part of the proceeds going to the Chile Pepper Institute. Since
they're expanding frozen sales locally, I just assumed that they were still
selling on the internet. The next time I get down their way I'll stop in and see
if I can find out why they stopped.

I do have another source for you and I checked to be sure they were still selling
before posting this. It's Hatch Chile Express which is owned by the Lytle family
of "Big Jim" fame. They've been farming chile for several generations.

Bear in mind that these outfits are family owned so they're not producing the
quantities of a Birds Eye or Green Giant. The largest chile processor in the
country is Bueno Foods in Deming NM and they might even still be family owned.
