If you're looking for hard liquor, beer or a surprisingly good selection of wine this is an…read moreexcellent place to be. Easy to find, nice parking lot and once inside - their beer cave is Ice cold (stood in there just to cool off?!) and keeps bottled/boxed wine chilled too. Perfect! During my visit they were out of corkscrews but told me the Safeway 20 feet away did and we were set. This was a win!

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.

Their selections are still fairly decent. The lady at the register was as sweet as can be. Cash or card accepted.

Mark also owns the Red Rock Deli in ABQ. (serving up delicious food in a sit down setting and…read moregroceries for your Polish Picnics). Today, he was in residence in Blanca, at his general store. We shared lots of amusing stories and travel info. He is a a great host, with a lovely sense of humor and we got on like old friends. The store has everything you need grocery wise, including the bonus of lots of Polish & East European items: eg. cherrys for your Manhattans and sausage sandwiches for your mountain climbing. There is also an excellent wine and European beer selection. We departed with Pierogies for our dinner and a bottle of Sam Smith's Chocolate Stout. Check out the blackboard outside for Marks Muffin of the Day. And Mr. Guy Fieri is also a fan. In short, you just don't expect such a cosmopolitan selection in the midst of a small town/village in S. Colorado - wonderful! See you in Montenegro or Slovenia Mark for our twilight years!

No more grocery store veg for me! You really can't beat the flavor that farm-fresh food delivers. And the mushrooms here are Amazing. With a capital A. Trying to make it a weekly shop!
