There's not a lot to say about Blue Heron spice shop. It's a small shop crammed with fresh spices…read morefrom around the world, with a great assortment of yeast and freshly roasted coffees. Their coffee is the best in town. The place is impeccable, and the owner is very helpful. It is, by far, our favorite store in Grand Junction. Go, and go soon, to help preserve this local treasure!

Great place to buy a large variety of woods for smoking. All sizes - don't see what you want - ask…read moreand they will chip it/cut it for you. Lots of rubs and sauces. All that I have tried have been excellent, but I prefer to make my own - part of the fun of the whole smoking experience for me. But - try them out. (He also smokes meat for purchase - but you really need to check with him for times and variety. I haven't done this but I would expect a quality product). Bert has a large number of smokers to sell - wood, gas, pellet, electric, etc. But what he does best is give advice. He helped us pick a smoker, woods, and the spices. I think pairing of wood type to the meat you smoke makes a huge difference in the end result. HIGHLY recommended!

I ordered some post oak chunks and paid by PayPal. Once I got shipping confirmation i realized…read morethe address was wrong and sent a message to Fruita wood and explained the error. I didn't blame Fruita wood as this was obviously a pay pal error. Since it hadn't shipped yet this could have been easily fixed. Instead the owner Bert told me to deal with PayPal. Which is what I did. Then he got upset because I went to pay pal. I didn't file a claim I just opened an inquiry to let pal pay know there was a problem. Bert obviously has social issues as I read other complaints where Bert's more interested in proving his point rather than just taking care of his customers. I certainly won't be ordering again and I'll let as many people as I can know what kind of business this is .

Yummy lavender ice cream and lavender products!

If you don't like floral then the ice cream might not be for you but if you are ok w eating floral flavors - the peach lavender ice cream was my favorite! They also offer a rich chocolate lavender one and a vanilla based lavender ice cream. Picked up some spray and essential oils too. Love this place when we come to Palisade and the farm is so serene and beautiful! Brings calmness within me when I visit. That's what you want on vacation right?

A year ago, while attending the Palisade Lavender Festival, my husband and I visited Sprigs and…read moreSprouts. This lovely shop carries a variety of items - we bought lavender plants and some flavored balsamic vinegars and oils but they have many more items. The plants are thriving and we've been enjoying the vinegars and oil. Recently, I tried drizzling strawberry basil vinegar over half my mozzarella Caprese salad and tangerine over the other half. My guests loved the flavors. Today we decided to add more flavors to our pantry. The proprietresses were extremely helpful. We tried many flavors and flavor combinations and were given great ideas on which foods went best with them. We also found a spice blend that is flavorful and versatile. We more than doubled our existing vinegars and oils. Some will be gifts but the rest will enhance dishes from salads to desserts. If you find yourself near Palisade, Colorado, we recommend visiting this business. It has wide range of products in an attractive setting and knowledgeable staff.

We arrived during the dinner rush and waited patiently to order after the 3 other parties that were before us. We got pad Thai and pad see ew. There are only three spice levels. We wanted to play it safe and did medium for both dishes. When our food came you could see the dusting of chili powder and I wish I took a picture. I was so glad that we stuck with medium. It was *almost* too much for me and I love spicy food. On my way to the restroom I saw a sign saying no refunds if the dish ends up being too spicy. Heed their warning! I chatted with the lady during check out and she said her sister makes the chili powder. It is a bit on the pricey side but it was delicious!

Miniature cheese cakes just for me?!! In a jar?!!!? All sorts of exotic flavors and textures to wrap your insides in delight!!! I am excite!! Okay: So, It was actually a hot summery afternoon, when my schnoz persuaded my body to take a sharp right, right into their Downtown Farmer's Market booth. One of the jars was being opened for a customer, and this flood of decadence washed over me. I somehow managed to go through most of my life hating cheese cake (probably just on the principal of being a persnickety child), so now I find myself needing to make up for lost time, and what a way to do it at that! After immediately buying one for myself, I polished it off with hardly being allowed to share due to it's pure excellence. Do yourself a favor, And step into the flavor, Of cheese cake in a jar!
