Nantucket Spider offers a variety of natural, DEET-free insect repellents made with essential oils. They are effective, smell wonderful, and they are safe for humans. There’s even one especially for dogs which repels both mosquitoes and ticks!!! Protect yourself and your best friend (your dog) this summer while you’re out hiking or camping or rolling around in the grass. If you would prefer not to apply an insect repellent to you skin or cloths, don’t worry, Nantucket Spider has that covered too. They have Outdoor Garden Incense Sticks which you can place strategically around your yard to protect you from mosquitoes and flies. Keep those unwanted insects ‘socially’ distant from you this summer while you gather
with your friends and/or family!
Veronica
Nuun Lime Electrolyte Tablets
It has more electrolytes than name brand sports drinks like Gatorade, is made with natural sweeteners, does not contain any artificial colors, and it gets added to about 16 ounces of water for consumption so it helps you intake more fluids. Nuun Electrolyte Tablets are perfect for staying hydrated on hot summer days. They also taste pretty good and add slight carbonation to the water.

Amanda
Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte Supplement
These are perfect if you are on the go and need something more than water. Great for hikes, camping, or travel. Gives me a good start to my day. I prefer the grape, but the cherry pomegranate is a close second.
Kelsey
Klean Kanteen Water Bottle
I love my Klean Kanteen water bottle. These bottles are good quality, stainless steel, and there are tons of great color options. I picked out the bright turquoise blue.
Tara
Weleda Skin Food Body Butter
If you’ve ever tried Weleda’s Original Skin Food Moisturizer and thought, wow this is amazing but kinda on the thick and greasy side, then their new body butter is for you! It’s made with simple ingredients, deeply moisturizing, easy to apply and has a subtle fresh scent that I find really nice. I really dislike a moisturizer that’s oily or greasy, and this is neither! My new go-to!
Jesse
Untitled Art CBD Water, All Varieties
A light, refreshing, subtly flavored sparkling water with a little something extra. It’s a bit pricier than Klarbrunn or La Croix, but now those just feel like pale substitutes. All the flavors are good, but the Blackberry is my favorite. I like to treat myself to these during a hectic day at work or in the evening before I go to bed.
Josie’s Organic Chopped Salad Kits, All Varieties
These kits are always good to have handy! So delicious and flavorful with their bevy of ingredients, that they could almost be a whole meal on their own. I feel if I were to try and recreate these salads by hand, I’d spend too much money and a lot of the ingredients would go to waste. Such a time-saver, too.
Mourning Dove
Purple Sweet Potatoes
Purple sweet potatoes have been taking center stage in my smoothies lately. A smoothie bowl made with purple sweet potatoes and frozen bananas and topped with strawberries and blueberries is a beautifully vibrant, creamy, delicious treat!
Caitlyn
Andrew & Everett White American Sliced Cheese
I’ve got a big soft spot for American cheese and this one is on top of the list. All of A&E’s milk comes from grass-fed Wisconsin cows. Upgrade that grilled cheese or burger today.
Laura
Saffron Road Chicken Tikka Masala
You know how in most frozen dinners with meat, you get maybe two or three pieces? Saffron Road’s dinners are NOT one of those! In every dinner I’ve had, there has been an ample portion of meat. Plus, they are downright delicious and you can’t go wrong with Chicken Tikka Masala!
Grant
Wisco Pop! Ginger and Grapefruit Sodas
If I’m drinking a soda, I’m drinking a refreshing, ice-cold Wisco Pop! You can’t beat natural cane sugar and the ingredients are so fresh and real you can see them settle at the bottom of the bottle. Tastes like summer. Truly a treat!
DaddyDean
Alden’s Organic Ice Cream: Vanilla, Double Chocolate, Mint Chip, Strawberry
My husband and I love this brand of ice creams! We regularly work through most of the line with these flavors above getting the most frequent rotations! They are rich and creamy and for some reason, I do not need to eat a Lactaid tablet when I eat them!
Katie
Lundberg 5 Grain Thin Stackers
You know that mid morining/afternoon my blood sugar is cratering time? These rascals can help. They are a great vehicle for transporting needed protein, as in hit them with some almond butter, or a slice of avo and you experience great taste, crunch and whole grains. Winner, winner.
Evan
Field Roast Mini Corn Dogs
Super easy to make and great for school lunches. It uses Field Roast’s very good frankfurter hot dog that is very good on its own also.
Abigail
Willy Street Co-op Juice & Coffee Bar’s The Green C Juice
This is really filled with a lot of vitamin C! Only three ingredients (orange juice, parsley juice, and lime juice) and it is all organic. I like to drink this when I need an cleansing boost or for a refreshing summertime drink. Don’t let the parsley scare you—it pairs so well with the citrus. Yum!
Kettle Brand Chips Krinkle Dill Pickle Chips
I LOVE dill pickles, and ever since I was a little girl my favorite savory snack that came in a bag has been dill pickle chips. Kettle Brands’ version is delicious! The krinkle cut of these chips bring an extra crunch factor and the dill seasoning can get in those little crevices for maximum flavor. You’ll often find me with a opened bag of these. (But good luck trying to get me to share!)
Dustin
Bhuja Snack Mix
This is the perfect blend of sweet and salty. Plus it’s gluten-free and vegan!
Pabst Blue Ribbon
It won a blue ribbon!
Dan
Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Chips
First off, these taste like Pringles. So the brand name is a misnomer as you will eat far more than is sensible. Generally I will finish off a quarter can while making dinner, and my wife will eat alone because I am full. Sensible.
James
Chocolate Shoppe Zanzibar Chocolate Ice Cream
If you’re a fan of chocolate ice cream but have never had this particular flavor by Chocolate Shoppe, you are SERIOUSLY missing out! Regular chocolate ice cream doesn’t even compare to this stuff. Zanzibar is on a whole new level of chocolate and once you have it, you’ll have a hard time ever going back.
Epic Bars
These meat bars are really one-of-a-kind when it comes to flavor, texture, and price! I opt for them over traditional jerky almost always. They have a good amount of chew to them but with the benefit of not getting stuck in your teeth as much as thin, dry jerky. I find that they are a great addition to camping and hiking trips and anytime you just need something quick while on the go!
Jack
Cedar Roads Cheese & Onion Hot Dogs
Don’t tell the entire state of Wisconsin I said this but one go-around with these and you may never have another brat again. Avaialable at North only.
Colin
Fox Heritage Beer & Cheddar Bratwurst
Nothing is more Wisconsin than a beer brat. These are wonderfully made with real tasty cheese and high-quality meat. Beer flavor is great but if you pan-fry in a skillet and de-glaze with a nice lager (I recommend New Glarus Two Women) you really get a mind blowing brat. Pair with a pretzel bun and mustard. Available at West only.
Meghan
Niman Ranch Snack Pack: Pepperoni, Provolone and Dark Chocolate Almonds
This is the perfect protein-filled snack. The meat and cheese pair well together, and the chocolate-covered almonds add a little sweetness which is always welcome!
Hallie
Cesar’s Queso Fresco
This cheese completes me! Perfectly salty and crumbly in texture. AMAZING on pretty much anything, but especially perfect on sweet corn or tacos. Available at North and East.
Benjamin
Luna Caramel Walnut Brownie Bar
This bar is chocolatey and delicious! It reminds me of eating a candy bar except that it has eight grams of protein. I love to pair it with a banana for the perfect afternoon snack.
Ember Foods Samosas with Chutney
This is such a delicious and comforting dish. When you heat them up they smell amazing and taste even better! The combination of cumin, potatoes, and green chiles makes for a satisfying meal.
Bell’s No, Yeah Easy-Drinking Golden Ale
This is the perfect summer beer! Sometimes I get tired of all the heavy IPAs and just want something tasty and light. This beer fits the bill! I appreciate that its ABV is only 4.5% while other beers ABVs are trending higher. I also love the, fresh design and funny midwestern phrases on the can. Bells can do no wrong in my book! Available at North and West.
Forrest
Willy Street Co-op Ranchero Salad
This is a perfect light lunch or dinner. Great base of greens topped with seeds, cheese, and salsa. The housemade ranch dressing brings out a melody of flavors.
Melissa
Willy Street Co-op Vegetable Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sauce
I love fresh spring rolls. Our Co-op spring rolls are made with the same quality organic vegetables you’ll find in our Produce section, then stuffed with soft rice noodles for a chewy complement to the crunch of the fresh veggies. And then we have the sauce. This stuff is so good I’d eat it on almost anything. Sweet, savory, and slightly spicy, this stuff is seriously delicious. They make a great appetizer to a grab-and-go lunch at the Co-op! I’m actually eating these as I type this.
Emily
Door County Cherries
These little beauties come to us from Door County, Wisconsin, and the window of their availability is pretty small, so I stock up! While at their peak, I buy a bunch to pit and freeze for later use (think pies and other baked yummies).
Kohlrabi
Who would’ve thought that a spikey green bulb would be so tasty? I’m glad someone did, because kohlrabi sure is a tasty veggie. I like to slice it thin and sprinkle it with a little bit of fancy Maldon sea salt. It’s also an easy addition to a salad or as a slaw.
