About Us

M.A. & Sons, a family owned and operated corporation, began its chile processing operation in October of 1987. The company was established by a female-minority of the Hatch Valley, Mary Alice Garay, (also known as M.A.), and her three sons: Frank, Randy, and Patrick Garay. They started the operation by purchasing a small, three tunnel dehydrating business from M.A.'s father with hopes to continue to preserve a family tradition  by dehydrating, processing and distributing red chile. Under the excellent capabilities and management provided by the family the corporation has grown to a producer of a variety of green and red chile products.

The facility currently hosts a hand-crafted, custom roaster that  processes about 6 million pounds of green chile per year. It continues to remain the home of two of the three original tunnels while fourteen-tunnel dehydrators were added throughout the years. The tunnels provide a seamless flow of production of over five million pounds of red chile during the processing season.

​

The plant is located at the base of the Caballo Mountains in Arrey, New Mexico. Arrey is located approximately 55 miles north of Las Cruces, New Mexico, in what is known as the farming area of the Hatch Valley. The Hatch Valley’s claim-to-fame is "The Chile Capital of the World." Chile raised in this growing area is unmatched by any other! The processing plant enjoys ready access to the most flavorful chile grown in the world.
