LOCAL BUSINESS

New Fruita Store Now Open, Come Visit!

Skip's Farm to Market Fruita began in the Old Roan Creek Ranch Grocery at 119 E. Aspen Ave. After a couple years in business at that location, Skip purchased and remodeled the building at 211 E. Aspen Ave. that once housed Brumbaugh’s Groceries and Meats in the 1930’s.

 

The original store was approximately 500 sq. ft. and the new space is nearly 3,000 sq. ft. This expansion has allowed us to carry a larger variety of local and natural food and artisan products.

It is where you go before you ride, after you ride, and even when you just want to talk about riding. We offer multi-day, self-guided backcountry hut trips on the Uncompahgre Plateau as well as a highly regarded, full-service bike shop with the most respected mechanics in the Grand Valley. We have everything you need to make every ride a great ride. Our number one goal is to see you on your bike, comfortable, smiling, and having the most fun possible!

​

We have been offering our top-ranked mountain bike hut trips through the pristine Colorado backcountry since 2008. Each trip gives you the option of spending the last night at the luxurious Gateway Spa and Resort. Incorporating America’s best backcountry mountain biking trails with our individual support of your group is what sets our trips apart from other hut trips. Need a bike for your trip? We rent Devinci and Orbea road, gravel, and full-suspension mountain bikes.

Classes offered daily

All classes are offered at 80-85 degrees.

A space to gather once again. A space to connect, to grow, and to heal. It is our hope that this space will feel like a second home to you. A place to deepen your practice and to remember how to return to the home that exists within, time and time again.

Over the Edge Sports was born in Fruita, Colorado, USA. Fruita was in rebuilding mode after a sudden collapse in the energy economy. The passionate crew at Over the Edge and a key group of supporters and riders saw the town as a hidden gem and the surrounding public lands as the perfect recipe for a mountain bike town. 

​

The unique legacy of Over the Edge began as we scrambled to prepare a 90-year-old nearly abandoned building into a bike shop while carving out a network of singletrack trails in the desert north of Fruita off of “18 Road” before knowing we even needed to ask permission to do so. As the Federal Land Managers told the OTE crew to “stop,” the City of Fruita opened a door between mountain bikers and land managers. That led Over the Edge and Fruita to become an international example of leadership in mountain bike trail development and public land relations. 

Chow Down started back in the early nineties in a tiny space adjacent to a car wash. The vision, spearheaded by Petra Davis, was to offer premium pet food with unsurpassed customer service. Petra’s passion for animals was equal to her desire to educate pet parents about the importance of proper nutrition and pet care. The pet industry has come a long way since then but the fundamentals remain the same: outstanding customer service, love of the animal and the importance of understanding the myriad of products and services available to our pets.

​

Every day we strive to bring health and wellness to pets and a smile to your face. Being pet parents ourselves, we fully understand the love and friendship a pet brings to your life. Anything we can do to foster that is a day well spent. We truly love what we do and we thank you for the opportunity to make your life with your pet more complete.

​

The staff at Chow Down Pet Supplies is committed to continually learning more about pet care, products, and nutrition so we can provide you with the best products and services around.
