To perfect their legendary chile peppers, generations of farmers in Hatch Valley, New Mexico have worked with experts at a local university. Of course, we can't say that enjoying our hatch chile beef jerky made with 100% grass-fed beef punctuated by sweet, smoky Hatch chiles will earn you a degree in horticulture. But if after eating our hatch chile beef jerky you wanted to start wearing a lab coat and asking your friends to call you "Professor Hatch," we doubt anyone would question it.
