69 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 2, ISSUE 8 DEMING, NEW MEX I CO “Unlock the Power of Peppers” “It all started with the soil. We chose to grow our peppers in a region that offered the perfect conditions: warm, sun-filled days and crisp, cool nights — think of the beautifully rugged plains of Southern New Mexico. Next, we selected dedicated farmers who shared our passion, to partner with our crop supervisors to cultivate and monitor the crop. Our growers employ sustainable farming practices to help preserve the beautiful, arid environments that produce our peppers. The season begins once we deliver our farmers the seeds – ensuring a consistent and managed supply of high- quality ingredients for our customers. Once our peppers are ready to be harvested, our farmers gather the crop and deliver the peppers to one of our two processing facilities in Southern New Mexico – Deming and Las Cruces, where we employ over 1,000 residents. Our Deming facility is the nation’s largest producer of green chiles and jalapeños, making it one of the city’s largest employers, with more than 800 employees during the peak of the chile season. In Las Cruces, New Mexico, there are over 200 full-time and seasonal employees who help us produce our red chile and specialty pepper products. We invite everyone to use our red, green and specialty peppers, tomatillos and enchilada sauces to power their creativity in the kitchen.” ......
