“ Great place for whole food and nutrient options in Big Bend. ”
“ We tried to go in town at Porters, and we did not find any food that a human being should eat. Thanks to this shop, we were able to restock our camper with fresh, organic produce and products in general. They even have a bulk section with a lot of spices, so that was nice. It is a little bit pricey but I guess that’s the cost to pay to be autonomous in the desert for a few days. Definitely the best stop you can make before Big Bend National Park. ”
“ I did not expect a store like this in the middle of a desert . What an amazing store with everything that you might want is available. I got the most delicious rice and chicken tikka masala from here. The person at the register was so helpful and knowledgeable. It was Christmas Eve and mostly everything was closed in this little town of Alpine. This place was our saving grace . ”
“ Excellent store for all your healthy and natural foods. Store employees are always quick to help you find what you are looking for. Highly recommended. ”
“ This place is an absolute freaking gem! Traveling to Big Bend, we searched for a grocery store to pick up some last-minute food and supplies. This quaint grocery store had all sorts of vegan and vegetarian (as well as local meats, dairy, etc.) ingredients along with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables ... similar to a locally run, smaller Central Market/Trader Joe's mix if you are familiar with those. Vegan, vegetarian, standard groceries, boxed good, bulk foods, wines, beers, vitamins/minerals/mineral oils, refrigerated, frozen foods ... whatever, an omnivores delight. The staff was super helpful and I simply wish they had one of these closer to home. If you are traveling to the Big Bend/Marfa/West Texas area ... no need to pack everything in. Stop here, pick up some ice, water, and any grocery needs that you may have. They have it all and the brands appeared to be the quality ones that we are accustomed to plus some local suppliers. Safe travels! ”
“ An oasis in the desert for Celiacs! The best selection of gluten free foods and fresh vegetables and fruits. I stock up before I head to the park each time and on the way home. They have varieties of items that even Austin doesn’t have and I shop all the stores. Prices are very reasonable considering the remote area, the limited offerings around, and the need for healthy foods! GF is already pricey in large city stores so I expect nothing less from a local grocer who is doing the area a great service!! ”
“ Fantastic selection of natural foods, health/nutrition items, personal care products Fabulous staff! So helpful ! Got there on a Monday morning when produce choices were depleted. Call ahead as delivery comes in PM ”
“ Amazing place- hard to find natural goods, and a blessing in this remote area! Lovely staff. Great selection of regular and specialty goods (food and camping) packed into a small store. Just ask if you can't find something. Thank you so much, very much look forward to coming back someday! ... ”
