The AppleShed — Attraction in Cedaredge

I used to work there and always felt bad that the owner made me lie all the time to the customers. Even if they didn't ask I had to say that the apple sauce was made from scratch with their own apples from their orchard. But we opened a humongous can of generic apple sauce everytime and just mixed it with a bit of cinnamon. Hated telling senior citizens when they asked about that. The owner always looked at the customers like if she was better than them and pretended to care when she spoke to customers. I have way too much to say here. Especially when her family came and treated us like slaves. We had to cater to them all. Big breakfasts and had to ignore other customers. Swear they acted like we were their butlers or slaves. After the whole thing not even a tip. Just criticism. Hated being there. One time I got a really big tip from a customer and the owner didn't let me keep it because she didn't believe I was given that amount. She thought it must've been a mistake. Even after I told her repeatedly that they gave it to me. After a week she finally gave it to me but was upset about it because she wanted to keep it for herself I bet. Made you...

Enjoyed a tour through The Appleshed in Cedaredge, Colorado this afternoon. It was a former fruit packing and processing location. Now it is a sprawling maze of rooms with art, jewelry, clothing, furniture, foods, gifts and much more. My husband and I browsed through room after room pointing out items we liked, things that would be ideal gifts for someone we know, and a few objects that just plain made me smile. I was certain the one-of-a-kind side table that I saw would be perfect in our living room. My husband admired it, looked at the price tag and quickly directed my attention elsewhere while assuring me it should stay right there to be appreciated by someone else. They have a huge selection of merchandise, with most things priced well out of our price range. We purchased a few things, one being a pencil sketching that will be our Christmas gift to each other. I will definitely plan to go there again, maybe even get something to eat from the bakery counter. I cannot afford to do much shopping but I will be browsing...

We were astounded. The quality of art for sale in this shop is amazing! Not your weird, eclectic, or abstract paintings that you'd find in the Colorado front range area, but rather amazing, realistic paintings and bronze statues that even I, as a fairly non-artistic sort, felt compelled to purchase and display in my own house (though with my budget, I couldn't, unfortunately). It was that good.

There are a ton of nooks in this place. You could get lost among the different rooms, yet the layout is so tasteful that we were happy to be stay for nearly two hours.

The little restaurant they have in one section serves some amazing food; not a huge selection, but what they have is worth...
