Olli Salami
Excellent choice to complement your antipasto or charcuterie repertoire.
Willow Creek Farms Smoked Boneless Ham Steak
Breakfast, lunch, or dinner—so many options.
Dustin
Cedar Roads Old World Bacon
This is the best bacon I have ever had and it's made right here in Wisconsin!
Jesse
Renard's Cheese Morel & Leek Monterey Jack
A locally made (in Door County) smooth, creamy cheese with a slight hint of morel passing through the definite leek herb flavor. It's amazing on pizza, or in a cream-sauce based pasta dish with mushrooms; however, I could personally just eat big chunks of it like cheese curds!
Dan
Deer Creek Cheese The Robin
Colby is boring, right? Nope. A 2019 ACS best in class cheese, this colby is bandage-wrapped then dipped in wax. It has a sweet buttery flavor, and can hold its own on your cheese board with the fanciest camembert outthere. Pair it with a Cabernet Sauvignon or a good rye whiskey and some apples.

Pacha Soap Co. Sand and Sea Bar Soap
This scent from Pacha Soap Co. is so refreshing and summer-y! There is no other soap that smells like this one and the fragrance is 100% natural. The soap is made with volcanic ash and pumice which adds an exfoliating element reminding me of a sandy day at the beach. Not only does this soap smell and work wonderfully, but it is also packaging-free! Pick up a bar and head to the beach in your next shower or bath.

Willy Street Co-op Vegan Smokey Black Bean and Sweet Potato Salad
Great mix of tangy and light spiciness, this salad is an excellent side for tacos or any grill-ready food.

Willy Street Co-op Espresso Swirl Brownie
The Espresso Swirl Brownie made by our very own Production Kitchen is so fudgey that I had to double check the ingredients to make sure that it actually was one of the “made without gluten” bakery items. It hits all the texture and taste notes of a conventional brownie! Unlike most conventional brownies, though, this is definitely a dark chocolate brownie. The rich dark chocolate is perfectly balanced by the vanilla cheesecake swirl. This is no one-note box brownie! The combination of textures and the chocolate with the coffee and the cheesecake is delightful. I also love the fact that it’s made with local oat flour, eggs, and dairy!

Attitude Chamomile Sensitive Skin Deodorant
Finally! A baking soda-free natural deodorant! It's not a secret—I'm a smelly girl. "Traditional" antiperspirant/deodorants truly made it worse. I've been surfing the ocean of "natural" deodorants for years. While I have found a few that work for awhile, I am often shocked to one day wake up with a painful rash or discoloration in my pits! So many of the natural alternatives contain either baking soda or essential oils as a first ingredient—not so great for sensitive pit skin. Attitude is baking soda-free, and it really feels more like a lotion bar than a deodorant. The light chamomile scent is pleasant, not at all overwhelming. The plastic-free, push-up tube is made of cardboard; it's vegan, and through their "Reforest" partnership program, the company promises to plant a tree for each product they sell.

HiBar Moisturize Shampoo and Conditioner
Want to do your part to reduce plastic in our oceans without sacrificing healthy, clean hair? Choose Minnesota-based HiBar, a waterless, soap-free shampoo and conditioner that avoids using sulfates, phthalates, parabens, or silicones. Conventional shampoos and conditioners shockingly contain 80% and 95% water, respectively. Its packaging is compostable/recyclable. Just rub the bars into your wet hair—the shampoo's lather is incredible! The conditioner leaves your hair soft and tangle-free. Best of all, the shampoo bars last at least as long as a 16-ounce bottle while the conditioner bars last as long as a 32-ounce bottle. Go waterless and plastic-free in 2022; Mother Nature will thank you!

Nature's Bakery Six Grain Granola
I like to add this granola to yogurt, blueberries, and chia seeds. In addition to the six (count 'em, six) organic grains, the sunflower seeds and honey add great flavor and offer some crunch and chew. And it's made right down the street from Willy East!
Caitlyn
Vitruvian Farms Shiitake Mushrooms
Looking to add some more umami in your life? These locally grown mushrooms will give savory dishes a rich, meaty and buttery flavor.
Tony's Chocolonely Milk Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt Bar
This is my favorite chocolate bar in the whole world and it comes from a pretty cool company too. Based out of the Netherlands, Tony's partners with cocoa farmer cooperatives and it is their mission to make slave-free chocolate the norm.
Laura
Tierra Farm Pistachio Mulberry Granola
This is, hands-down, the only granola for me. Just the right balance of sweet and salty packed full of delicious pistachios and mulberries—two of my favorite superfoods! I love it in yogurt for breakfast or anytime as a snack!
Mourning Dove
Bulk Water
I love using our bulk water for drinking and cooking. It tastes great, its clean, and it's super cheap when you refill your own container.
Kristin
Bulk Herbs and Spices
Bulk Herbs and Spices is one of my favorite things at the Co-op! You can buy exactly what you need—enough to refill your spice jar or just a tablespoon for a recipe! Don't let the prices fool you since they are priced by the pound on the bulk jars. A pound of herbs or spices is a lot, so my small bags are usually just a couple dollars. The spices are also really fresh since we sell through them so quickly!
Lacey
Fizzeology Kickapoo Curtido
I've been addicted to Fizzeology's Kim Chi for a while, but now I'm obsessed with their Curtido. It's a totally unique flavor, adding oregano, chilis, lime, and cilantro to organic locally sourced veggies. It's great with tacos, oron a sandwich, which is how I eat it almost daily.
Joel
Mango Man Monte Verde Salsa
The depth of flavor and smoothness is wonderful. Your uses of this unique salsa are only limited by your imagination. Another fantastic local product.
Angelica
LuSa Lavender, Chamomile, and Ylang Ylang Sugar Scrub
Have you ever wanted to feel wealthy beyond compare? The smell of this exfoliating and moisturizing scrub will transport you to the proverbial Lap of Luxury.
gomacro Sunny Uplift Cherries & Berries Macrobar
I'm not usually the kind of person who goes for a fruity granola bar (I prefer chocolate) but this cherries and berries bar is one I come back to time and time again. The tangy cherries deliver both deliciousness and nutrition. Also, this brand comes to us local from Viola, Wisconsin!
Willy Street Co-op Southern Fried Tofu
If I’m in a rush, I eat a cold slab of this and feel calm and satisfied. The fact that I am willing to admit this publicly speaks to the amazing value of this product. For meat-eaters, this will be your gateway snack into the world of soy. Don’t knock it til you try it, y’all!

Ripple Unsweetened Original Milk
This is the best plant-based milk for athletes who are looking for lots of protein; I make protein shakes with these and end up with almost double the protein intake that regular plant-based milk would usually take. For being such a healthy option, this is a such an awesome cheap option!
Amy
Quorn Meatless Patties
What is a Quorn, you ask? It is a fermented fungus called Mycoprotein, which is not as bad as it sounds. It's a more sustainable protein source than chicken and its just as delicious and chicken-y in your mouth. Try an easy Quorn Parmesan: Just put one on top of your pasta and red sauce and broil it for a minute with some mozzarella on top. Fanc-easy! OR, google celebrity Drew Barrymore (E.T., Firestarter) for many more Quorn recipe ideas!
Olden Organics Zoodles
Worth rotating into your meals. They have substance of their own, and while they don't replace the texture and flavor of pasta, they create a flavorful vehicle for sauce transport. Reduce your pasta intake with vegetables!
Amanda
Troy Mix Mendota Mix
This is a mix of sprouted lentils, peas, and garbanzo beans. Great on salads! I like that it is available all year long and I get to support an awesome local producer.
