PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — It is roasting season for Pueblo's prized peppers! Farmers across the Saint Charles Mesa in the eastern part of Pueblo County have started harvesting the famous crop.
News5 spoke with Rocky Musso, a local farmer, who says even though it has mostly been a dry and hot season for the peppers, those conditions only enhance the flavor.
"From this year's peppers, everybody should be excited because they have the great Pueblo chile flavor,... a little more spice this year and definitely a smokiness from the roasting," said Musso.
Musso says you can expect to see the peppers at grocery stores across Colorado by the end of the month!
