It was a very nice trip to Rocky Ford. We left with about 7 watermelons and a cantaloupe as well as…read moreonions, bell peppers and stuff. The fruits were delicious!

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.

A family owned grocery that actually participates in the community of La Junta with local and…read moreorganic produce right in town! This is a dream come true for a town this size. Meet Auggie Bear (he's about 4ft tall, and walks around the store sometimes!) and grab a coffee at the cafe. Local employees who care about their community offer excellent service. It's a true grocery, not a big box chain with limp produce and employees that look like they can't wait to get off shift. Love investing in the community by getting better organic food quality, hometown service, and in town convenience at Auggies!

The fuel station is conveniently arranged and easily accessible from three different directions…read more The store has added some solid protein items, such as jerky and trail mix, for those who are looking for more than sugary snacks. 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. =)

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.

I've been wanting to drop by and check this place out since fruit & veggies play center stage here…read moresignage wise. The racks of flowers and herbs out front also add to Bauserman's curb appeal. 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!!
