The clerks have been courteous every time I've been in. However -- in the spring of 2020, the store removed all of its ice cream and other freezer items and did not replace them for several months. They offer Dippin' Dots, prepackaged in six flavors, at prices much higher than cartons of ice cream would be. Update: I was told, and have now verified, as of September 2020, that the store has replaced or repaired the big freezer, so all ice cream and other frozen products are as they were before this past spring. I know that I was not the only person who had given up going in there to look for ice cream, so I hope this review will make others aware that all is now well.

Find it @ the Loaf'n Jug…read more I've been to many places in Rocky Ford, but this place takes the cake. Why would a convenient store/gas station get such high praise from me?? WELL, because it's a little slice of fast paced heaven for me. Everywhere I've been to in town has a slow and old school feel to it. From the parks to the liquor stores, nothing says small town like, well, everything IN the 4 block radius we currently call home. The good folks at the Loaf make me feel like there IS an active and high energy civilization outside these city limits. They gotta red box out front, a good sized convenient store area inside, quick eats you'd find @ a 7-11, and even a subway with an eating area attached. Yee-haww, your dang skippy I like this place! The lighting is bright and the place is cleaner then other places around. Sure it's all junk food and calorie ridden drinks but it gives me sanity. I've just been once and you bet your lucky sand dollar that I'll be here more often. Even though I'm not a fan, I guess a subway sammie is in order. Hey, I might even start to like 'em again! The Loaf... is where it's at. =)

Local Market We're…read morespoiled to have one, YES, one market in this little town we call Rocky Ford. It's not big nor does it have a grand selection of each type of item offered. The selection is good enough for me and the folks here. If we wanted more over priced stuff with choices that'll blow your head off, then drive over to La Junta for some Wal-Mart action. But when your just @ home and need a few good (common) ingredients, Rocky Ford Food Market will usually fit the bill!! The employees are pretty nice but could use a good managerial hand to whip the store into a more crackin' place. Cleanliness is descent to say the most. In my opinion, the only thing this place could really use is more of a fresh produce selection. They aren't fancy like the larger markets that more populated cities are use too. No organic selections or "exotic" finds. Strictly the basics. Some getting use to if your a snob about your grocer. Think of a downsized Stater Brothers, if you will. It's definitely not even close to a Whole Foods Market, that's for sure! I still dig it.

I came in for…read moreanti-acids (my husband wasn't feeling good) Shortly after entering, one of the older females (she had grey/white hair) employees makes a beeline to me (ignoring all other customers) and asks in a tone that was condescending and accusingly, "CAN I HELP YOU?" I say, "No. I'm right here trying to choose what I want". Then she goes to the back and gets a much BIGGER (over 6' tall and seriously overweight) male employee to go out and come straight to me and ask the same thing, but ruder "CAN I HELP YOU"? I say to this guy, "NO! I'm right in front of what I'm TRYING to buy". Why am I making a BIG deal about this? It's because of my nationality and because I'm physically brown (possibly because I'm from Hawaii). I'm making a pretty good assumption that these horrible employees thought I was going to steal merchandise. However, the younger, male cashier was very kind and accommodating, even asking if I had a Kingsoopers card so I could get reward points (he was the exact opposite of the other two rude employees). My husband and his family is from the town of Fowler. I have never received this kind of reception before today from anyone in this town and I've been going there sporadically for 17 years.

You Just Been Licked, CUHH!!…read more OKAY, so I've been watching wayyyy tooo much Lizard Lick Towing on cable. For some reason this town makes me feel old fashioned and going to the lick (liquor store) isn't like how you would be in the city. In these parts you'll find "regular booze" only @ liquor stores. Let me explain, we unknowingly purchased a pack of beer at the nearest Wal-Mart in La Junta. The only downfall is that if it ain't from a liquor store, it'll be a watered down version of your brew. For example, instead of 6% alcohol content, it'll be 2.5 or 3%. SMH The fine folks here at Cork Brothers do a great job of spreading the joy. The place is simply equipped with booze. There aren't any snack isles here. It's a no bullshit type place where you can grab some cold brews or cruise through their other selections of bottled wines and spirits. The only other products they have would be the stuff you'd get behind the counter like lighters, smokes, and such. The prices are descent and the service has been good. Although you might get the occasional attitude, but that's alright! As you can imagine, we stop by on a regular bases to grab a pack or a 40 oz. I've also purchased some fruity frozen stuff as well for 2 bucks. The only other thing I want to try is the flavored moonshine they sell in mason jars. Depending on the flavor they have fruit floating in the mix for that "awww shux" feel. I'd like to think they're super infused and yummy as well! At nearly $20 a jar and with a good 100 proof, I'll be back to give em a go. We'll be back again & again & again!!!

Passersby get that fresh feel good rush when they drive by. We finally had a chance to drop in yesterday so we parked out front and started our first time experience @ Bauserman. The front had a modest amount of plants and herbs outside. Regardless, kudos to them because that was a great marketing strategy. On the inside, the place is a little run down and little on the pricey side. I must say this place is simply okay. The air circulation is lacking with a stale hint and the interior is not visibly spotless. The selection of fruits and veggies are surprisingly limited though a few items are said to be grown nearby. Still not terribly impressive. The store in general is more like your average market or liquor store rather then a produce paradise. They have rows of food selves and cold cases for produce and food items. The layout isn't very friendly but they work with what they have, so I ain't mad at 'em. The best part of our visit was purchasing fruit pops for the family. Great brand that isn't overly sweet and doesn't have a fake aftertaste. Wish I didn't toss out the wrappers until I read the name. Oh well. I'll be back for some more creamy goodness, but that's about it. Convenient for those who live in the area since there isn't much of anything else. Gotta love the small town of manzie!!

Modest Meals After a…read moretrip to Wal-Mart, I was bummed that they didn't have very many health food products. While running additional errands this cozy little store caught our eye. As we passed by this hidden treasure we decided to stop by on our way back from the bank. It's not your typical place to grab food nor is it the cheapest place to get essential ingredients, but I did find what I needed here! They have natural vitamins, gluten free & dairy free products, and even a soft serve area that whips up sugar free treats that's sweetened with fruit. I quickly walked around and found some nutritional yeast (yeast flakes) and saffron that I needed for my vegan recipes. Score! The owner was present and very helpful. I was also impressed to see a good amount of patrons during my short visit here. As I checked out I had a chance to have a quick gab with the owner Jeanne Love. She offered her services since she is an RN & a nutritionist. She was a phone call away, she mentioned. How sweet of her! Sure, this place doesn't have inventory upon inventory and so what if you'll find a variety of goodies pre-packed in zip lock baggies. The ingredients are somewhat hard to find in this area and I'm thankful that I have this place to go to for all my unique needs.

Also beware that the posted prices are not the same as the prices charged. Check your receipt.
