Curt’s
Crestone General Store, locally known as Curt’s Store, is an integral part of life in the small remote town of Crestone. Curt and Bernadette have owned the store for 20 years. In the early years, they ran the store with one part-time clerk. Over the years, the store has grown and developed into a unique health food center. Shoppers can purchase organic produce and natural foods, along with some locally made or grown goods, fresh all year long. Additionally, gas is available 24 hours a day. Curt and store manager, Jeanne Sullivan, have created a shopping opportunity to accommodate the most meticulous shopper.
Janice Gardner, the produce manager, stocks a nice variety of organic produce, including salad greens, root vegetables, kale/chard, sprouts, avocados, and more. There is always plenty of fruit, and often raspberries, strawberries, kiwi, and mangos can be found. In season, there are apples, peaches, salad greens, and other vegetables. Fresh organic produce arrives each Monday and Thursday. Since last summer they have added a large cooler to keep the produce fresher.
For the carnivorous appetite, the freezers are always stocked with Scanga
