Crescent City has a certified farmers market! I was so glad to hear this when I moved. There are…read morea number of local organic farmers selling produce, and there are some farmers selling pork, beef, and chicken. The selection is good, and the quality is quite good. I do most of my grocery shopping here. I also buy my holiday gifts here. There are a number of crafters and artisans selling knitting, woven goods, ceramics, Native American arts and crafts, and redwood items (boxes, clocks, toys, planters). You can also get, from time to time, canned tuna, smoked tuna, and smoked salmon. The tuna vendor has some of the most delicious tuna I've had. Don't forget the bakeries selling fresh bread and pastries, community services with info, plant nurseries, and Vita Cucina's soups and shortcake. Be sure to sample the pesto (cilantro-almond or traditional basil) from the Dutch Gardener's booth--it's a local favorite. It's a great place to do your shopping, support the community, and see neighbors. It's one of the best things in Crescent City.

We stopped by The Simple Foods Market for sandwiches while driving to Denver from Pagosa Springs…read more We had the BYO-build your own sandwiches. Service was excellent and all our directions were followed well. We like our bread extra toasted and it came out perfect. I had the ham and cheddar on rye. The hubs had the ham and Swiss on sourdough. Both were delicious. All the toppings we requested blended beautifully together. Very tasty. The only suggestion is that they offer regular sub-hoagie bread. The only options are Ciabatta rolls, sliced sourdough or sliced Rye. Lots of drink options and tasty chip choices. Loved the "All Mixed Up" chips. If you're driving through Del Norte, this is a must stop for a great sandwich and healthy options foods.

Jack's Market is the go-to grocery store with most of the locals in La Jara, CO…read more My first visit ever was on 9/3/2023. While I wasn't blown away by this smallish place, it was a nice store. Not bizarrely expensive. Here's a few items we bought: - Butter pecan ice cream tub $4.59 - Russet potatoes (3-lbs) $1.99 - Bbq sauce $1.59 The lady who checked us out was friendly and funny. Large, "seedless" watermelons were on sale $4.98 each. They and the rest of the produce looked decent. I was able to slake my thirst that warm afternoon with some good bottles sweet tea out of Amarillo, TX, called Panhandle Pure ($1.09). Western Union is available here. There used to be a lady who would sell her homemade tamales here out of her car. I sure wish she would come back!

Overall I was pleasantly surprised to find Jack's, seeing as I'd completely -- with the exception…read moreof one package of strawberries -- forgotten to pack any of the groceries we bought for the camping trip. I couldn't explain it, I think I had my priorities totally wrong (or right, depending on your perspective), because I packed every last can of beer in the house. Food? Who needed food? As a general note, the little town of Antonito is located somewhere in the middle of nowhere, and Jack's is the best or only grocery store, anywhere. What we discovered: - A decent selection of produce - The occasional organic option, like milk and butter - Friendly and slightly spooky employees - More beer, and other adult drinks, there's a connected liquor store - Hunting and fishing licenses and gear - Firewood, nature's beer buddy - A public restroom (campers, rejoice!) - DVD rentals, because of course - Chile roasting, yes, it was Labor Day weekend Also, there's a "Nite Club" across the street. Someday, I want to spend a nite there.

Chief Liquor is a fantastic adult beverage store in Alamosa, CO…read more They offer a wide variety of liquor, some wines, and beer, but not so much in the snacks department -- just pretzels & jerky. The one-way streets in the area are a bit funky, but manageable. It's conveniently located across the street from Walgreens & Safeway, so what they don't have inside this place will most likely be available at the other two. There is ample parking out front or on the side. They even have a drive-thru. When my significant other and I stopped here on 6/7/2023, we met the friendliest cashier with a great personality. In such a short time, we learned about several of their usual customers -- they like to get there bright and early -- sometimes before this cashier does at 8AM! Lol.

Since moving to the San Luis Valley, Sam's Club is not accessible to me anymore (unless I drive 2-1/2 hours to Pueblo), so I looked into Valley Meat. The price of their beef short ribs is actually comparable, if not less expensive. I've also bought pork belly, and they cut them to however I want them. Meats that are not available at Walmart, City Market or Safeway, I buy them at the Valley Meat Market. Recently, I bought ox tail there. I have two large German Shepherd dogs. I buy quartered raw femur bones regularly at Valley Meat with prices that do not break the bank. My dogs love them!!! I have to mention that the folks at the meat market are also very nice and friendly. As soon as you walk in, someone will immediately help you. If you do not like to wait, give them a call and place your order. Just let them know when you want to pick up, they'll have your order ready for you. Try them...they have excellent fresh meat!!!
