Alcalde is a small community that lies along the Rio Grande River north of Espanola, NM. Alcalde is known for its farms and for the agricultural experiment station there. It is also where Seeds of Change was originally located. This chile has been grown by one of the local families forever. It is somewhat larger and smoother than some of the other traditional chiles. The flavor is full, but milder. Production is excellent on big, healthy plants. A packet contains at least 75 seeds
