Bode's General Store

Santa Fe Region


Located at the base of Abiquiú along the highway, Bode's (pronounced boh-dees) has been here for 100 years – ever since 1919 to be precise. This is the place to buy everything from artsy postcards and groceries to fishing lures and saddle blankets. You can get gas here too. Grab a sandwich or tamale at the deli and hang out with the locals.
