Steaz Peach Please Yerba Maté
I’m obsessed with this stuff. It tastes like a classic peach tea and has plenty of caffeine to get me through the day (without making me jittery). I literally buy one at the beginning of every shift.

Mad Hippie Hydrating Facial SPF
This facial SPF is the best! A clear, clean mineral SPF 25+ that melts perfectly into my skin and doesn’t feel greasy or like it’s “sitting” on my face. It actually hydrates skin, too! This facial SPF is also reef-safe, cruelty-free, vegan, free of fragrance, benzene, petrochemicals, synthetic dyes, silicones, parabens and phthalates. So easy to slap on before heading outside. Wear SPF on your face. The future you will thank you!
Mourning Dove
Organic Red Grapes
Red grapes + frozen bananas + lemon + water = pink lemonade smoothie. Perfect for a hot summer day! Or pop some in the freezer for an hour for a slightly frozen and refreshing dose of vitamin K.
Organic Limes
I love having extra limes on hand to add a splash of fresh flavor to sparkling water. Sometimes I’ll cut up a couple in quarters and store them in a mason jar in the fridge for easy access throughout the week. So handy for guacamole, peanut sauce, and to sprinkle on top of salads and fresh papaya.
Tree-Free Greeting Cards
Not only do these cards boast beautiful and colorful designs, they include matching envelopes that are just as beautiful! PLUS they’re made with 100% post-consumer paper and printed with VOC-free inks via solar power.

Nancy’s Plain Oat Milk Yogurt
I eat a lot of Nancy’s Plain Oat Milk Yogurt. I do like it on its own, but I mostly use it to make my own vegan pudding (of sorts). I mix instant pudding mixes (many brands are vegan, if that is a concern) into it or the Simply Delish Jel Desserts (vegan and keto), we sell at Willy North. You can really use just about anything you like. Be creative! Go a step further and add chocolate chips or fruit (or both) and So Delicious Coco Whip, to top it off. SO GOOD!
Follow Your Heart Vegenaise
I love Vegenaise. Love it. It is the best tasting mayo alternative I’ve ever tried (and I have tried many). I use the original and the reduced fat for sandwiches, coleslaw, dressing (vegan 1000 island), and dips (as in, I dip my fries and Boca Meatless Nuggets in it).
Amy
Scallions
I worry some of our shoppers don’t “do” scallions. I find them to always be a delicate and pleasant addition to just about any dish I use them in. On tacos they are a nice raw add-on top. In soups, it enhances the flavor and appearance of what might otherwise be unsightly and lackluster. (Think miso or a purée.) In a stir fry, it’s a great finish and quick wilt, even if sautéed onions are already a part of the dish. On a crudité plate, it’s so pretty and tasty with a dip or salt. See what I mean! Pretty good fridge life makes them a veggie to always have on hand!
Acure Brightening Facial Scrub
This is a really nice scrub! Not microbead size and not as rough as an apricot scrub. I also like that it leaves my face feeling clean, fresh, and invigorated rather than coated with an oily cream. You can’t beat this quality at this price point either. My kid likes it too, which never happens!
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!
Angelica
Naked Baker Sea Salt & Chocolate Cookies
These are some of my favorite chocolate chip cookies ever. They are gluten-free, which makes their excellent texture even more amazing. The chocolate and salt strike a superb balance of flavor. I’m not even avoiding gluten and I regularly buy these perfect cookies. They are available individually or in four-packs.
Om Mushroom Superfood Energy Stick Packet
Getting bored of your caffeine sources? Try this powder for a new experience! These orange packets are chocked full of B vitamins and adaptogens, such as cordyceps and turmeric. Additionally, the citrus/monkfruit flavor is ideal for the adventurous, novelty-seeking type!
Jess
Gazela Vinho Verde
Like Pinot Grigio? You’ll love Gazela. Light fresh and slightly bubbly wine from Portugal.
Hallie
Wisco Pop Grapefruit Soda
This is great alone but AMAZING with vodka or tequila, especially on a hot summer evening. Salt the rim first and it’s even fancier and more balanced. Too many, though, and you may lose your balance!
Aaron
Jovial Brown Rice Pasta
I think this may be my favorite gluten-free pasta of all time. After trying Jovial, I had a hard time going back to the other brands I used to buy!
Andrew
GT’s Trilogy Kombucha
The raspberry gives it tart sweetness, while the ginger and lemon provide the bite that keeps you coming back. All three are mixed perfectly and complement one another so well that it’s easy to see why GT’s stuck Synergy on the bottle.
Piper
Supreme Brie Bites
Soft and creamy. Just the right size for a quick snack on their own or with bread and jam for a fancy picnic!
Nico
Stacey’s Organic Tortillas
Stacey’s Tortillas are a staple in my household. Wrap organic black beans, jasmine rice, ripe avocados, Cesar’s Queso Quesadilla cheese, and Chip Magnet Cilantro Lime into a tortilla. Bake or grill for five minutes and serve with a dollop of Seven Stars Farm’s whole yogurt and drizzle with Cholula sauce.
Micky
Kiwi
Many people cut a kiwi in half and scoop out the flesh, but did you know you can eat the skin as well? Did I just blow your mind? You can now consider this delicious, on-the-go fruit your new go-to for quick and easy meal and snack packing. No utensils required! The added bonus is you’ll also maximize your nutrient load by eating the skin since that’s where the fiber and vitamin C are concentrated.
Tim
Everett’s Smoked Salmon Bits and Smoked Brown Sugar Trout Fillets
Everett’s might be the best smoked fish we have on offer. They are a great addition to a salad or a fantastic base for a homemade smoked fish spread, but the best way to eat them might be straight out of the package. They are so good. Any of their products are great but in particular the Brown Sugar Trout Fillets or the Salmon Bits are absolutely delectable.
Katie
Siggi’s Plain Non-Fat Yogurt
This is one workhorse of a product. This smooth, tangy, no-sugar-added yogurt is so satisfying to consume. It hits you with some protein without all the other ingredients so many yogurts contain. It’s also fabulous to enjoy as a substitute for sour cream in dips and creamy dressings for pasta and salads.
Sara
Jeni’s Ice Cream Brown Butter Almond Brittle Ice Cream
This is the most delicious ice cream I’ve ever had! It’s made with rich buttercream ice cream and chunks of almond brittle. It’s a wonderful mixture of sweet, salty and crunchy deliciousness. However, if buttercream and almond brittle don’t sound delicious to you, I would suggest trying my second favorite flavor of Jeni’s ice cream—Brambleberry Crisp. This one is a made with vanilla ice cream, chunks of oven-toasted, brown sugar oat streusel, and has brambleberry jam swirled throughout. These are my favorite flavors, but there are several other flavors to pick from, give them all a try! Treat Yourself!
Nantucket Spider Insect Repellent
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 specially 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 clothes, 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.
Maille
Bulk Cherry Vanilla Granola
I love this product because of the delightful flavor and texture variations, as well as the occasional dried cherry that finds its way into the mix. I’m usually pretty particular about my breakfast foods, but a bowl of this granola with a couple dollops of vanilla yogurt are a fantastic way to start my day.
Laura
Willy Street Co-op Beet and Kale Salad
This is my favorite accompaniment to round out an otherwise carb-y meal. It has a deliciously subtle tang, with notes of Middle Eastern cuisine, but I find it goes with pretty much any dish. Available at East and North only.
Kristina
Willy Street Co-op Vegan Spinach Dip
I tried this dip at a Co-op sponsored event and to be completely honest, I thought, “well that seems really “spinachy” and won’t taste good.” I tried it out of curiosity with pita bread squares and, oh, was I so wrong! It is literally the BEST spinach dip of all time. I am not vegan and I would have never known it was vegan by the taste. It is creamier than you would think and even though it looks a touch stringy, it does not taste that way. The hint of dill weed and scallions really shines through. I like it when I am proven wrong with such a yummy option. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
Kjerstin
Mount Hagen Instant Coffee
This is one of the top-rated instant coffees for a reason! It is excellent for backpacking and camping, but I always keep some in my work bag, too. When they say you can dissolve it in cold water for instant iced coffee they mean it, which I think is fabulous for summer. Organic, delicious, and instant, this is a great product!
Bountiful Bean’s Tasty Tofu
Truth in advertising! This is such a marvelously tasty treat and very versatile, too. Use Tasty Tofu in sandwiches, tacos, or burritos or eat it straight out of the package! It is a magical sushi roll filling or eat it with cheese and crackers. There are so many great pairings! I love to take this on road trips, a day hike, or even just a picnic, but it is a great staple ingredient for meals at home too. Yum!
Bonne Maman Raspberry Preserves
The town that Andros Company—the makers of Bonne Maman—comes from hid and saved Jewish families in WW2. It was called Biars sur Cere, France, which then had about 800 villagers. They put themselves in great danger to conceal these families from Nazi capture.
