I was visiting Paonia for a conference that was going on and some friends told me to be sure to try…read morePaonia peaches because "they are the BEST." As I was driving through town, I saw Double J's signs for "pick your own peaches." I followed the signs a very short distance from the main part of town which included some well maintained gravel/dirt roads. My old '97 sedan was just fine.;) At the orchard I was greeted by the owner, Jamie Jacobson who was such a genuinely nice man. He's very kind and personable. I got a handful of peaches and yes, they were THE BEST peaches I've ever had!! So incredibly sweet and juicy that one bite had juice rolling down the sides of my mouth. I shared some with some fellow travelers and they agreed that they were Exceptional. You've got to try THESE peaches!! I heard Palisade peaches were good and bought those as well but these were much better. I even bought peaches that came from Hotchkiss (a nearby town) and also from the Paonia market. Double J's peaches were still wayyy better!! There's a big difference between eating store ripened fruit versus tree-ripe fruit like at Jamie's orchard. I highly recommend Jamie's tree-ripe fruit!! The whole experience and interaction w Jamie was positive and now I plan to get peaches from Double J Orchards whenever I'm in the area. It's one of those things that are so good that you dream about going back for more.:)

We took the scenic route back to Denver. On the way, my friend was talking about Paonia and this…read morefresh produce trading post out there. We detoured a bit through the city and arrived at this trading post situation near the train tracks. This old-timey place is part grocery store, part vegetarian restaurant. It's fascinating to me to find this place in the middle of nowhere. They have fresh produce, frozen goods, maple syrup, kombucha, sweets, and a vast herb collection. The latter was the most impressive to see. I know friends that would love to visit this place. They also make their own carob treats like a carob almond bar or an Adventure Bar featuring carob, oats, ginger, honey and more. If you're coming this way and need some good food, stop here.

It's like a smaller version of Sprouts/Whole Foods with a local touch and feel. The only thing I bought was a couple of local organic champagne plums - they were tiny but SO sweet and delicious!! There is tons of parking right in front of the store all along the street so it's very accessible.

Indigo Autumn is the only health food store in the town of Paonia, and we are lucky to have it…read more It's the place to go if you want organic frozen meats, bulk foods, fresh local produce, gluten free items and even some locally made baked goods. It doesn't have much in the way of prepared foods, but they do have organic lunch meat, cheese, bread, etc. so you can put something together for a picnic or lunch on the fly. It's kind of amazing what they pack into this little store!

They have a teeny tiny deli that was closed the Sunday night I came, but thankfully they had some pre-packaged and labeled deli items so I bought some pasta salad and green beans which were good cold and had me fed. I don't think they have any alcohol sold here, I didn't see any (I was looking for a beer to have with dinner) so bear that in mind if you're looking for that. But otherwise this is a standard little grocery store! Also has lots of parking available in the lot just out front.

They have everything you will need for your time there or even if you are a local as to life being super simple out here! My coworkers picked up a few steaks and other items for the week and I must say, everything was very fresh! If you happen to spend some time out in Paonia and you want to cook for yourself and others, go to Don's, they will definitely have something for you to indulge in!
