The Old Apple Barn is just outside of Cloudcroft, New Mexico, on one's way towards Alamogordo…read more It's on the right-hand side so even at peak times it's easy to pass by to see any available free parking spots right in front since you may enter the lot only after passing the barn. I hadn't been here in years. Because I had my 11 and 9-year-olds, I thought it was time to let them try some homemade cider. It was July 28, 2024. A bit on the warm side even with a mid-morning rain shower. So we opted for a cherry-apple & 2 plain apple cider ices (medium = $3.50) which has the consistency of a slushie. My neighbor took care of a package that was delivered to my house while we were gone that weekend, so we also picked up some homemade fudge. It was $4.95 per 1/4 pound (which was equal to three squares). There are separate lines for the fudge & cider and one just for the pies, etc. The wait was incredibly long that morning, but service was friendly and apologetic. There is a gift shop with some cool items then some really junky expensive items. Here's the link to their online store: https://oldapplebarn.com/

There was a lot of folks in here on this Friday, so they were busy with everyone, trying to be as helpful as they could. It's worth a stop you are passing through.

Our visit to Mountain Magic Market. We've been to this…read moremarket a handful of times when visiting Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and have always been very pleased with the stores welcoming environment, it is very cozy and well stocked, lots of things to look at for the whole family. The shop has many cute souvenirs and home goods. I've noticed their fair prices, compared to other stores we have visited. My reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the lack of a welcoming attitude from the owner, I hate to judge someone's attitude on one visit (from this years trip) but this has happened before. Overall, I highly recommend Mountain Magic Market!

I love Chuco Town (aka El Paso, the 915)! So... naturally I'd love a store that sells…read moreChuco-inspired items. Chuco Relic sells t-shirts, pins, stickers and more. They also sell prints and paintings by local artists. What's even better is that it's a local business (well how could it not be?)! Every time I've gone, the employees are super friendly and helpful. I always end up talking and talking with them. Another thing I like about Chuco Relic is that they help the community often. I should say they also try to help people in our state! Back when Hurricane Harvey happened in Houston, they raised money for them by selling merchandise. I recently purchased an El Paso Strong t-shirt from them for $10. I pre-ordered it so it came out to $10 less. I'm always excited to help local businesses succeed, especially when they help others here and around Texas. If you're looking for an El Paso-inspired gift, this is a good place to go.

I am so glad I stopped by here because they truly have some of the most thoughtful and meaningful gifts you can give anyone, whether you are a local to the area :) !

I specifically wanted quality souvenirs that are really unique to the area or region :D ! I met the owner and also one of her employees :) ! Both of them were really friendly and warm ! The owner told me that she is originally from El Paso, but had lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for about 20 years before coming back to El Paso :) ! If I had heard correctly, I believe her employee told me that this store has been open since 2020. I purchased some Mexican candied cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! I purchased some Mexican spice cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! So far, I have only tasted the Mexican spice cocoa pecans, which are delicious :) !
