Wagner Farm Corrales

Stopped by yesterday to pick up some peaches. They are god awful! The picture is of four we might be able to use in cobbler. The other three were rotten throughout

We came back when the Apple & Pumpkin Fest was. Slightly disorganized and false advertising. We had to park about half mile down the road and walk over. There was a line to pick apples and pumpkins at the orchard, but that line supposedly was a 2 hour wait. Ridiculous. So, we got in line for the corn maze/ petting zoo. The ride itself wasn't bad, but was far away from the farm (so there was no chance of walking back). It was advertised as a "free"event, but everything from the corn maze to the petting zoo required tickets to enter I'm all about supporting local farmers, but there has to be a better way to go about this

What most foreigners don't know is that there is also a good cafe here. After a 7 mile trek along dangerous snake and venomous mosquito canal trails....suffering exhaustion and fatigue, we landed safely at Wagner Farms. We ordered the Green Chili Burger and Ice Teas. This burger was perfectly cooked deliciousness. One of the simplest best burgers. Each bite sang a nice chilli song with burger juiciness. The Ice Tea did its job well. We picked up a few bags of green chili to take home. Most wait for a Farmers market Day/location, not realising that it's "Farmers Market" most every day at Wagner Farms. This is where the Farm is..:) Thanks for reading. Avram Mac Donald ps. don't forget the ice cream, we didn't..:)

Took the kids to the pumpkin patch and corn maze today after school. They charge a hefty price to get in and wander around the grounds. The corn maze was good and we picked several ears of corn, only to be told at checkout that it is not for human consumption, but to be dried out and used for decoration. That is fine, but when we got home and opened the husks up they were half eaten away by happy, fat, hungry worms that were busy munching away the corn kernels. Yuk!There were a variety of peppers to pick and nothing left to pick from the dried out zucchini patch. There were some small green tomatoes, not ripe yet to be picked.The kids liked feeding the alpaca, goats, and cow. They could pet them throw the fence.Then there is the pumpkin patch. They all have been harvested and put in groupings to chose the perfect one. We will wait until closer to Halloween to carve, so they will not rot. The prices were reasonable up to $20 for their largest, which was not that big.We got some of their pumpkin butter and apricot preserves to enjoy later in. It was a good family time. Warning! Do not buy any corn!

There is one beloved crop that has us New Mexicans twitching for a fix, waiting on tip toe for announcement of it's arrival, and singing from the rooftops the moment it hits the streets...yes, we are very zealous about said crop, and this is most certainly one of the most magical times of year in the Land of Enchantment ... an intoxicating aroma fills the streets as we wait in lines for our green chile to be roasted to perfection. We welcome the burning sensation in our fingertips as we peel and chop and dice our little hearts out to package ever so neatly our newly acquired high grade stash. From Hatch to Chimayo, and everywhere in between, one can purchase fresh chile by the pound, the bushel, or the sack.My favorite place to score the goods is Wagner Farms. The drive through Corrales is always so charming. The staff at Wagners are warm and friendly...Bring cash, no credit cards accepted, although there is an atm machine in the back corner of the store, and save a few bucks to tip the chile roasters, they work their tails off cranking out batch after batch of chile, usually 6 roasters going at once in 85-95 degree weather and the heat of those roasters is brutal. Plenty of other fresh produce to purchase (melons, apples, squash, etc etc), ristras, and more!

The smell of green chiles roasting is unlike anything else, and it's how you know that it's finally fall in New Mexico! Wagner Farms is our answer to all things fall, and that means a bushel of roasted green chiles to freeze for winter as well as delicious apples to use for pies, cobblers, and cider. Their fall festival is great with music and kids games, a pumpkin patch, and of course lots of chiles. Not to be missed in Corrales!

Our first visit and it was a great experience. (We did go during the week, avoiding the weekend crowds)Had to post cause I read others didn't have the same. A bunch of people on NM recipe group said this was the place. I even asked a produce guy at Walmart, who said everyone he know comes here. With all that we decided to give Wagner's a try. Besides green chile we picked up sweet smelling peaches, lovely tomatoes, cantaloupe and watermelon. Woman behind the register was very friendly and informative. We had our sack of chile roasted by a young man with a great sunny attitude. All in all the staff made for an enjoyable time. Now to go bag our green treasure(Was well warned cash only. There is an ATM machine if you forget)

Bought green Chile here. Everyone was very kind and helpful and roasted our two bushels perfectly.

Probably the best chili in North America. And they roast it well. They have four levels of heat: mild, medium, hot, and extra hot.

I live in the center city of Albuquerque I ordered hot Chile but got bell pepper flavor I went back again the Chile was replaced so i was told it was hot I got home repacked it left a portion out to try again the Chile was mild Wagner's just lost my confidence and not to mention my Business I will be returning to Snake farm in Los Luna's!!!!
