Organic Roasted Chiles at Today's Farmers Market

I knew that had to be there somewhere. There was no chile roaster on the premises at the Boulder Farmers Market today, but I could definitely smell that wonderful aroma of roasted chiles. Victory was mine when I tracked the scent to the Full Circle Farm stand (aka Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Ranch. Turns out they were they folks with the roaster in the alley at last Saturday's market, who were selling the chiles at a separate small table dedicated just to the chiles. Unlike Saturday, when you could only get the variety that just came out of the roaster because they were selling so fast, today you can choose from all four that they carry: anaheim (mild), Big Jim (medium), poblano (medium/hot), and mirasol or dynamite (guess how hot a dynamite chile might be). And because they come from Full Circle Farm, all the chiles (and I doublechecked this with them) are certified organic. Their plan is to bring the roaster with them for the larger Saturday markets, and bring chiles they've roasted that day at the farm to the Wednesday markets. Sounds like a good plan to me.
