Bontrager's Variety Store

Bontrager’s has a great selection for solar equipment. We bought an electric lithium battery charger and 10 solar panels. The owner Levi is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have something for everyone in our family. It is truly a variety store. We also bought eggs, a board game, and a broom. Highly worth the stop to browse. They have an interesting selection of kitchen gadgets, games, jams, toys, tools and so much more.

We love working and dealing with the Amish with any of our projects whether it's build solar you name it we Love it. This location is great for a variety of items that you would put in your kitchen in your homes in addition to the solar setups and propane items. They also have homemade jellies and honeys from the areas. Honey really great if you have allergies when you're here as it is made very nearby. They also have homemade soaps and other bath items. Their workmanship is awesome. They have toys for children. They have outdoor equipment.

It’s so difficult to find canning jar lids these days, but Bontrager’s came through!! Great price on bulk lids. They also have jars and rings, but we only needed the lids themselves.
***Update! We only use these lids for dry storage these days, NOT for actual canning. I’m not sure why, but after probably 6 canner-loads, less than 50% of the jars sealed. I normally might have one jar that doesn’t seal in that many.

We Love shopping here! We’re from NM and every summer for the past 3 years we have to stop and shop !! My husband loves the lavender goats soap ! Always something fun and new to buy !!

We stopped thinking to get groceries, but we were at the wrong Amish store. Such a great mistake. This store is wonderful. We bought solar panels, rechargeable lithium batteries and a variety of other small thing. They have so many items and the staff is very friendly. We enjoyed our stop there.

This store is amazing! The family was friendly, welcoming and helpful. It is worth the stop. You will not be disappointed. We will visit again!

As a local LTL freight delivery driver a few years ago I had the wonderful experience of interacting with most of the family while making a delivery of supplies. I wish I could have had time enough to actually browse through their store. I've since become more disenchanted with the disconnect within mainstream society, and upon study of Amish and Mennonite community documentaries have learned how correct these wonderful people have it. Simple lifestyle, void of many of the distractions which have come with modern life!!

This store is what we have been looking for. They have everything we needed and everything we didn’t know we needed. The family running the store was kind courteous and extremely helpful. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

I’ve spent a couple years piecing together what I hoped would be a quality solar power set up and blindly & thankfully I went with Levi. I not only have been able to completely power my home off solar from Bontragers but I have been able to make repairs on my own. Levi has been a constant source of information and assistance. For those that don’t know, Levi is a man that seems to have never seen a day he didn’t like. Always gracious and pleasant. Highly recommend this store to everyone, most especially if you’re a homesteader/off gridder lol.

Great little store. I went all over Alamosa trying to find canning lids and every place was sold out. One of my friends suggested I try Bontragers and they had just what I needed and more. Great service too

Neat little store. Lots of variety. A lot of stuff you can't find just anywhere. It is family owned and they are friendly and ready to help you find what you need. Also if you want off-the-grid stuff get it here. The carry all you need for solar.

This is a unique place. Very clean with friendly staff. I found lovely items not available elsewhere. Quality kitchen ware. Be sure to check out the clocks!!

I shop Bontragers because they have a wide variety of household and gift items. I adore the motion clocks!!

Interesting store to visit. My kids live in Monte Vista and I always try to shop here, when I visit them.

Always such a great friendly store with such a variety of things. Something for everyone.

A little pricey but super clean store and variety. Love the place.

Friendly staff, great owners and lots of cool stuff. Highly recommend

This store is very unique. Has such a variety of googs from toys to vitamins to food

Levi is a great person and very knowledgeable about each product in the store.
