AgroMex Direct

Between Zacatecas and Texas

Four generations in chile.

Chile pasilla seco, whole pods

My family has grown and dried chile in Zacatecas for four generations. The plant, the grower relationships, the drying craft — that side of the pipeline existed long before this company had a name.

What didn’t exist was the other end: a US warehouse the family controlled. Chile left Mexico at farm prices and landed in American kitchens at four times the number, with brokers and re-baggers collecting the difference. AgroMex Direct is the fix — the same chile, trucked to our own Dallas facility, sold by the people who dried it.

We carry two chiles because two is what we can stand behind completely: the pasilla and ancho our plant cures every season. When guajillo meets our grade, it joins the floor. Until then, it doesn’t.

If you’re in Dallas, come pick up a box. If you run a line, send the form and see what a quote looks like when nobody is standing in the middle.
