It is $8 for the food bowls, super healthy, super convenient, and keeps my kitchen mess and stress free. My only mild complaint is occasionally when I find something I love (whipped beef tallow and Ryze mushroom coffee) they tend to sell out, and I go on a waiting list for restock. I had also asked about Mango butter, which they did not have but said they were happy to order it for me. Also, you can MAKE your own peanut butter on demand. They have whole peanuts that when you press the button, the machine grinds it for you. The thought put into this place was well done. I am an extremely happy customer- everyone in there is super helpful and friendly.

August 17, 2026 - Cortez, CA…read more We were able to find everything on our list--and then some--but some items were surprisingly difficult to locate. The store is huge, and we didn't see many employees available to point us in the right direction. Fortunately, we were able to use the app to locate what we needed once we figured out where the different sections were located. Prices were reasonable, and there was a wide variety of items to choose from. The store was quiet and low-key when we first arrived, which made for a pleasant shopping experience. Unfortunately, as we were finishing up, a large group of high school students came in and were yelling and running through the store. There didn't seem to be much supervision, which made the experience considerably less enjoyable.

If you're passionate about high-quality meat and supporting local ranching, Bell Beef Country Store…read moreis the kind of place you'll want to know about. Nestled just north of Cortez, this family-owned country store brings fresh, ranch-to-table beef straight from the pasture to your plate -- and the difference in taste and quality is something you can truly savor. What makes Bell Beef special isn't just the excellent product, but the story and people behind it. This operation grew out of decades of ranching experience, with Scott Bell raising cattle for years and his son Kasey and daughter Raedene, stepping in to help build the business into what it is today. The Bell family's hands-on approach means you're not just buying meat -- you're buying something they're personally proud of. Walking into the store feels like visiting a local favorite rather than a generic market. The selection is impressive: premium cuts, ground beef, steaks, jerky, snack sticks, and even bulk freezer bundles are all available, vacuum-sealed for freshness and convenience. It's obvious a lot of thought goes into every choice on the shelves, and customers often comment on how delicious and rich the flavor is. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, ready to help whether you're picking out something for dinner or planning meals for weeks to come. The community vibe here is strong -- people return again and again because they trust the quality and enjoy the personal touch. If you're in the Cortez area and want beef that tastes like it came straight from the ranch -- because it did -- I highly recommend stopping by Bell Beef. It's a true gem for meat lovers and a great example of local family business done right.
