To complement the drink menu at Fenceline Cider, the cidery has recently added The Fencepost food truck, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner to its patrons in Mancos.<\/p>\n

The Fencepost is just over a year old now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fencepost proudly celebrates the flavors of the Mancos Valley, ensuring a culinary experience deeply rooted in the vibrant and diverse tastes of the region,\u201d Fenceline\u2019s media contact, Emily Hutto, told The<\/em> Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fenceline Cider staff shared that they are \u201cpleased\u201d to introduce The Fencepost as a new food option for the residents in Mancos and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

The food is sourced from local farms and ranches, when possible, and is a \u201ccider-infused\u201d menu, complementing Fenceline Cider\u2019s drink offerings. The Fencepost is open Thursday through Tuesday each week.<\/p>\n

Another added benefit of The Fencepost\u2019s menu is its unique way of incorporating cider into its food.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beef that we use for hamburgers and our tacos, the owner feeds the cattle apples that are leftover from mashing them for cider or apple juice, so it\u2019s a whole full circle,\u201d said Mancos resident and Fencepost food manager Heather Timmons.<\/p>\n

The cider-inspired menu includes Fencepost Nachos with onions and jalape\u00f1os that are pickled in cider, The Fencepost Burger is made with onions caramelized in cider and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is homemade here, as much as possible. Every sauce, every dressing, every pickle,\u201d Timmons said. \u201cEverything is made in-house and with local ingredients, if possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Timmons added that it is important for The Fencepost to infuse the cider into its menu.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreweries cook with beer all the time, so as a cidery, we like to bring our cider into the dishes as much as possible,\u201d says Timmons. \u201cEvery single aioli and every dressing is made from scratch, and every pickle is pickled from cider.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that it is summer, Timmons said the menu has a lot of salads for patrons to try.<\/p>\n

Some of the salads she mentioned are an heirloom tomato and watermelon salad and a peach salad with almonds, dried blueberries and arugula with a burrata cheese ball. The hummingbird is a vegan rice bowl that is a Mediterranean mix with roasted garbanzo beans, roasted red peppers, onions, spinach and a housemade vegan aioli.<\/p>\n

Timmons began working at The Fencepost in August 2023, and started managing the food truck in March. She has been professionally cooking for 25 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I was a little kid, Martha Stewart was actually my idol, when I was seven or eight,\u201d Timmons said. \u201cI used to set my alarm on the weekends because Martha Stewart and Bob Ross would play back to back from 6 to 8 a.m., and my whole house would be asleep, but I would be sitting there with my little notebook, writing down recipes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just always what I wanted to do,\u201d Timmons added. I\u2019m lucky that I knew my passion young.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before working at The Fencepost, Timmons had her own food truck called The Brothel, mainly serving soups. She was a regular at Fenceline Cider, and the taproom manager, Jordan Lang, asked Timmons to work for The Fencepost.<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan was pestering me to work here, but I always had another job,\u201d Timmons said. \u201cOnce everything lined up, I could not resist any longer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Timmons works in a food truck with a beautiful river view, living out her dream to cook.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful scene, right there on the river. It\u2019s a small site in a small truck and a small town, and so you get to see regulars every day. It\u2019s just, cool,\u201d Timmons said. \u201cIt\u2019s just family oriented, if that makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their grab-and-go breakfast is available from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Thursday through Sunday, and lunch and dinner are served from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Tuesday. On Wednesday\u2019s, The Fencepost is closed, allowing Fenceline to host guest food trucks.<\/p>\n
