Q: Dear Dave,

Where can I get 1/2 bushel of fresh Rocoto (manzano) peppers?  I live in suburban Chicago, IL.

A: Hello Phil:

Offhand, I would say that’s impossible.  However, let your fingers do the walking and contact specialty produce distributors, especially those carrying Latin or Mexican produce.  The best source would be from Mexico or Peru.  They are not grown commercially in the U.S.
