Not All Heroes Wear Capes... Some Just Roast Chile: Honoring the Hard Working Farmers of Hatch, New Mexico
When people think of heroes, they usually picture firefighters, soldiers, or maybe someone dramatically running into danger.
And yes... absolutely!
But here in New Mexico?
We would also like to respectfully nominate the farmers of Hatch.
Because not all heroes wear capes.
Some wear boots.
Some wear sun faded hats.
Some wake up before sunrise.
And some spend long, scorching days growing, harvesting, and roasting the Hatch green chile that keeps New Mexico running.

And let us be honest... that is no small thing.
