Musso Farms begins Pueblo Chile harvest
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) Since 1961, Carl Musso has been tilling the land at Musso Farms. His farming operation began with an emphasis on sweet corn, but years later, he grew the first Pueblo chile.
Today, the Pueblo Chile is known for its spice, and Musso Farms will soon have thousands of chiles on hand for people to buy. Musso says running the farm and marketplace is a family function.
Rocky Musso, Carl s grandson, is heavily involved in the day-to-day operations. However, he gives all the credit to his grandpa.
