MADE IN NEW MEXICO CHILE RISTRAS AND WREATHS

The Ristra (string of Chile) was originated as a method of drying and  preserving Chile pods for future use in cooking. Every Fall, after the  Chile harvest is over, bright red Ristras are seen everywhere in New  Mexico, displayed on homes and roadside stands.

Our Ristras and  Wreaths are made by hand in the traditional way, utilizing top qualiity  Chile pods. Each Ristra is made to order so it will be as fresh and  full as possible. Many of our Ristras are suitable for cooking and  recipes are included with each order.

If you saw Disney€’s blockbuster movie “Wild Hogs“ you saw our Ristras decorating the town  of Madrid, NM. We have also supplied Ristras for restaurants, garden  centers, the Smithsonian Museum and special events, including Super Bowl parties and large weddings.

Our Ristras are of the highest quality and are available year round. Most of our Ristras can be treated to preserve freshness.

Wholesale pricing is available on larger quantities of Ristras and wreaths.
