Cloudcroft's neighborhood grocery — fresh produce, meat, deli items, pantry staples, and goods from local and regional producers. A garage-to-grocery rebuild on Mexican Avenue, opened in May 2026 by Cloudcroft villagers Bre and Dylan Kincaid.
The grocery store that returns to the village — a former garage on Mexican Avenue rebuilt as Cloudcroft's neighborhood market, stocked with produce, meat, deli items, and pantry staples that previously meant a 30-mile round trip to Alamogordo.
Cloudy's Market on Mexican Avenue, around the soft-opening period in May 2026 — storefront, interior, shelves, and product detail.
Cloudy's describes itself as "Cloudcroft's Neighborhood Grocery," rooted in "quality, community, and everyday essentials for mountain life." The shelves cover the basics most visitors and residents need without driving down to the basin. Specific stock rotates; the official site at cloudysmarket.com and the Facebook page carry current details.
"A pack of meat from the deli case, a bag of produce, and one local-vendor item to anchor the table. The point of Cloudy's is not having to drive down for any of it."
Meat + produce + a local-vendor add
"The single forgotten ingredient — eggs, milk, butter, salt, the right cheese — that would otherwise mean a 60-minute round trip to Alamogordo. The store's whole reason to exist."
The pantry staple you forgot
"Deli items plus pantry snacks plus fruit. Walk it out to a Lincoln National Forest campground or a Trestle Rec Area picnic spot."
Deli + snacks + fruit, packed for the trail
Cloudy's Market is open daily from 10 AM to 6 PM. The store launched as a soft opening in May 2026 and posted these starting hours on its official site.
Cloudy's is at 102 Mexican Avenue, a former garage rebuilt as a market — next door to Osha Trail Depot and near Osha Trail Apartments. The business describes the location as "just behind Burro," and the village's small footprint means it's a short walk from most of the central lodging and the Burro Avenue boardwalk.

What Cloudy's actually solves for, and when a different stop in the village is the right call.
The space at 102 Mexican Avenue is a former garage that owners Bre and Dylan Kincaid converted into a neighborhood grocery. The Cloudcroft Reader covered the project as it came together; the result is a small, rebuilt market in what had been an unconventional retail footprint.
That history shows up in the room itself — expect a compact store sized for everyday essentials rather than a full supermarket aisle plan.
Before Cloudy's opened, the nearest full grocery store required a roughly 30-mile round trip to Alamogordo and back. The Cloudcroft Reader's spring-2026 survey collected 229 responses from locals and seasonal residents on what they wanted in a village grocery — fresh produce and meat were the two categories that came up most.
Cloudy's launched stocked with both. For visitors, that changes the math on cabin and condo cooking; for residents, it removes a recurring drive.
Cloudy's posted starting hours of 10 AM to 6 PM, seven days a week, around its May 2026 soft opening. Earlier Reader reporting noted the hours were subject to change as the store stabilized. The official site at cloudysmarket.com carries the current schedule; for anything time-sensitive, that page or the Facebook page are the surest places to check.
The market is actively inviting local and regional vendors, producers, growers, and makers. The local-goods shelf is the part of the store most likely to grow over the first season — worth a return visit to see how the New Mexico–made section evolves.
If you make or grow something locally, vendor info is collected via Cloudy's official site.
A few details weren't available from the public sources we checked: a public phone number for the store, an exact full product list and deli menu, and whether posted hours will hold steady through the rest of 2026. We'll update this page as the market shares more.
"Cloudy's Market is the village rebuilding a piece of itself. A former garage, two local owners, fresh produce and meat that locals had been telling the Reader they wanted — and a 30-mile round trip to Alamogordo that no longer has to be the default. Selection will keep filling in through the first season; the local-vendor shelf is the one we're most curious to come back to."
