Grocery Stores

The Get Go is open every day from 9:00 am - 9:00 pm except holidays. This market has a little bit of everything you could dream of or need in a pinch while on vacation. There are plenty of selections to choose from if you want to cook a meal or grab a quick microwave dinner. (And check out their sinfully delicious ice cream bar selection. Vegans and dairy-lovers alike will approve!)

Don't miss

Marfa Maid Goat Cheese

The Marfa Maid Dairy is located just two miles to the east of Marfa on Antelope Hills Road. It is a working dairy and is not open to the public on a daily basis, however, tours are available on certain days during the year. Go to our booking site below (learn more) for more information and to make reservations. Please no walk-ins. Tours are 1 hour long and give an overview of their operation, an opportunity to see the milking process, pet the goats and eat some of their yummy goat cheeses! Well worth your time. https://www.marfamaid.com/
