Ploughboy, Local Foods | Local Foods Market & Kitchen

Flavorful. Beautiful. Fresh. Pure. Handcrafted.

That’s why at Ploughboy, Inc. Local Market we ONLY sell foods from local producers. Local foods are just better. Plus we make shopping fun with a great atmosphere, knowledgeable staff and tastes of our foods offered up while you shop: a slice of fresh baked bread, a handful of cherries, a sliver of artisanal cheese. Come shop with us and learn to love food again!

Ploughboy’s kitchen has just what you need –in every season. In summers, it’s salads made like they're headed for a family reunion. In winter it’s flavorful, soul-warming soups plus hand-packed sandwiches on artisanal bread. Of course, they’re all from scratch using our own local market ingredients. Grab something for the road or enjoy them here with one of our all-Colorado micro-brew beers, wines and hard ciders. Featuring Three Barrel Brewing, Big B’s Organic Hard Ciders and Garrett Estate Cellars wines.

Opening a 100-Mile Food Store in Salida, CO

Kerry and Dave Nelson decided to take a year-long sabbatical away from their busy lives as lawyers and part- time builders in Philadelphia. On the fifth day of their road trip they came upon Salida, CO - and it was love at first sight. Four days later they bought an old building they turned into a quaint, iconic grocery store they named “Ploughboy”. Its specialty? Carrying organic foods produced in Colorado, preferably within a 100 mile-radius. While supporting the local economy, Kerry & Dave wanted to make local organic food accessible to both Salida's residents and its many tourists. Their plan seemed risky but eventually met with popular success, so much so that they received the 2013 “Nature’s Plate Award” for Colorado from the Nature Conservancy.

WHAT IS THE PRESS SAYING
ABOUT US?

"If You Do One Thing: Swing by Ploughboy, a market and deli we raved about in “Moveable Feasts.” Pick up a lunch to pack for a hike (try the chipotle chicken salad sandwich; $6.99) and make plans to stop again on your way out of town to stock up on Colorado-produced goodies such as pasta and salsas."

SAYING ABOUT US?

Perfect little grocery with awesome beer on tap as well. Stopped in and grabbed some sourdough and habanero jack cheese for a snack with a 3 barrell pale ale to wash it down. Very spicy but amazingly good with the sourdough. Great little shop with good people.
