    Street sign on S Federal Blvd
    Bennett P.

    Forte Farms is a fruit grower in Palisade on the Western Slope just east of Grand Junction in western Colorado. They frequent all the local farmers markets in the Front Range and Aspen. They have no physical location other than this fruit store on S. Federal Blvd. Plenty of parking. They offer first of season Colorado apricots &; peaches along with other fruits and veggies. I saw a large selection of jams, honey, relishes + frozen goods. I got apricots & peaches for $3.90/lb. Local grocery stores still have Californian peaches. The store is self serve. They accept credit/debit cards and cash. It looks like a fruit stand near the orchards with no extra decoration. They are open 6 days a week, Mon-Sat.

    My purchase of Local Honey from Forté Farms at Stapleton Farmers Market October 14th 2012.

    Kevin is so knowledgeable and straightforward about learning what types of fungi there are, and how…read moreto try to grow them yourself. At age 66 I discovered that my mind was slowing down as much as my body. Kevin has a powder form of lions mane which I prepared as a tea. It seems to have improved my thought processes with clearer thinking. For me this is a big thing. Since having covid, I have felt like I was walking around in a fog. Lions mane teas have helped me clear out some of that mental fog. I directly attribute that to Fox Fungi's lions mane powder. Thanks Kevin for your fine product. I sincerely hope that others have the same results that I have had.

    I'm definitely not a mushroom expert. When I bought these at the Dillons Farmers Market I assumed…read morethe containers sitting out for display for display only. When I went to buy them I asked if they had containers that were out of the Sun. She said no, this is what you get. The container was hot and definitely exposed to the Sun. She said it doesn't matter because they are heat extracted anyway. So I purchased them. When home, the first thing I do is Google how to store mushroom extracts. None of these recommendations were followed by Fox Fungi. The primary goal when storing extracted mushroom powders (like Reishi, Lion's Mane, or Cordyceps) is preventing moisture exposure. Because extracts are highly hygroscopic--meaning they pull water directly out of the air--moisture will turn fine powder into a hard, gummy brick in a matter of days. ​Essential Storage Guidelines ​Container: Use airtight glass jars (like Mason jars or UV-blocking amber glass). Standard plastic bags or flimsy tubs allow trace moisture and oxygen to seep through over time. ​Desiccant Packs: Keep a food-grade silica gel packet inside the container at all times. If your extract didn't come with one, transfer one over or buy food-grade packs. ​Environment: Store in a cool, dark, and dry spot (a kitchen pantry or cupboard). Keep away from heat sources like stoves or direct sunlight, which degrade beneficial bioactive compounds like beta-glucans and hericenones. ​Scoop Safety: Always use a completely dry utensil when scooping. Never use a damp spoon or leave the container open while brewing hot liquids, as steam entering the jar will ruin the batch.

I wanted to try this place because of the welcoming middle aged woman that showcases the market. Her inviting persona and knowledge of product viewed made me think that a place that does not just see you as a number, is worth visiting. I was hopeful in this approach that once walking in the market this would be my experience. Today after walking in around 10:45am, I was not greeted or even acknowledged. Usually if this happens I walk right out of the business. But I stayed because I wanted to give this place a chance. The first employee I saw looked at me, didn't say anything and continued to walk down the produce area where I was headed. If he had been in deep thought, fine so be it, but a simple "welcome in" or "hello" would have been fine. At this time there was no other customer in the area I was at in the store after walking in. I continued to the back where the deli, and restaurant area was and was not even acknowledged by the gentleman behind the counter working there, although I did hear him acknowledged a middle aged couple several minutes beforehand. Still searching through the market, I intentionally went down an isle where a worker was and decided, to look.for something in a puzzled way of frustration. But, also, nothing. I stated, okay, this cannot be this bad. Sure enough I was not acknowledged and the employee started to walk away. I gave one additional attempt to ask someone for help, but decided not to after experiencing what I did with the other employees. I'm not sure if it is a cultural thing or what, but it was as if I were invisible. Finally I completed my shopping, and waited about a minute to checkout. Another employee working the front after talking with another employee never acknowledged me either. I finally asked was this register open? The employee turned and walked over not saying much and stated yes. Now, long story short, I'm not upset, but more disappointed in the level of acknowledgment and customer service. Could I have pushed more, yes, but I should not have to. Acknowledge your customers, ask them are they finding things okay, or can I help you find something? Passing 3 different employees and nothing is not my ideal place to shop. I want small businesses to succeed not only with likes and views online, but with the very real people that enter your business. Please do better and fix your customer service because regardless of who you are, no one wants to be treated this way.
