FIESTA FARM & CANNERY
When the Spaniards entered New Mexico in 1598, they brought with them a pungent, hardy vegetable that was the foundation of their distinctive cuisine- the green chile. Today, chiles are the base for the entire Mexican food industry.
Fiesta Canning Company is one of the largest processors of chile products in the U.S., producing 8-10 million pounds a year in a state-of-the-art facility surrounded by hundreds of acres of chiles. The moment that the trucks of glistening green chiles arrive from the
fields, they are sorted to quality standards and then shot through fire-roasting jets at an Even 1,500 degrees. Fiesta’s field and manufacturing plant workers, 300 strong in the season, are trained and supervised by an executive team that stresses quality, consistency and cleanliness during each phase of the operation.
The chiles are then seeded and shipped to customers throughout the country were they will become the base for the tastiest Mexican food. Fiesta canning stands for superiority in ready to use products. Fiesta del Sol and Cochise Farms are the brand names of the product lines designed by Fiesta Canning for foodservice.
