Casa Grande Trading Post

Wonderful local place. Had a lovely chat with the owner and got lots of fun little things. The animals were cute.

We had a great time here. Great selection of turquoise, great prices and interesting antiques. The llama, goats and chickens were friendly and adorable. The chickens were Polish Top Hats, beautiful and the eggs were for sale (we bought two dozen and they had great golden yolks!). Friendly folks and a great destination as a day trip from Santa Fe. You can feel the history in this place and in this town! I will be coming back!

Very organized place with lots to choose from. There is a $4.00 charge to go beyond, into the museum. We did not have time, but if you like old stuff, there's plenty. Don't let the neighborhood appearance cause you to count this out. It's a community under hard times with some rebuilding happening. The owners have unusual things for crafting. I found sliced antler pieces I'm going to use for jewelry.

Nice trading post, tourist souvenirs & unique turquoise museum. Lots of handmade, locally sourced turquoise from the local “little Blue Bell mine”. Located in the Cerillos Mining District, 25 miles south of Santa Fe, NM. Follow the signs in the small village once you turn off the main highway. Quirky & unique items with nicely made local turquoise jewelry.

I very much enjoy my visits here; Coco and I have become friends, (he's a bit of a camera hog though♡). I also enjoy talking to the owners. Coco and I in August 2017 and again in March 2019. I found so many unique things there. There's also a peaceful view near the petting area. If you visit, get a bag of feed to share with Coco and his friends. I just returned from visiting Coco again so, added a new pic.
