Darren Gillis is a fourth-generation chile farmer on his family’s farm, Gillis Farms, in Hatch, NM, known as the Chile Capital of the World. “I actually started with my great grandma,” he said. “They started growing chile, I want to say, in the 60s. And then I went through my grandma and my dad, and now it’s on me. And then my son’s actually taking a liking to it. He’s 8 years old and he seems like he’s wanting to follow in the footsteps, so we’ll see how that goes.”
