Willy Street Co-op Merguez Sausage

The Merguez Sausage that we make in the store contains a mixture of fresh ground lamb and beef and is seasoned with harissa. It is a North African recipe that has a wonderful flavor with just the right amount of heat. Great on the grill, served with couscous or on a pizza.

Willow Creek Bone-in Pork Chops

One of the BEST things to grill! The bone really does add more flavor when grilling. I LOVE these marinated in soy sauce, pineapple juice, and onion—then grilled with pineapple slices, and onions! YUM!

Willy Street Co-op Lemon Cheesecake Bars

It’s the perfect balance of lemon and sweetness. Just enough cheesecake taste to balance the sweetness, but not too rich. YUM!

Brendon

Avocado BLT Wrap

It’s my go-to sandwich. I like the spice in the mayo, too. You can get the TLT with tempeh bacon and vegan mayo if you want to avoid meat and dairy. East and West only.

Russell

Organic Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe is one of the best foods to eat on a hot day. Whether you are trompin’ around the Dells or hiking in Cherokee Marsh, you can’t go wrong with a refreshing cantaloupe!

Justin

Local Strawberries

Local strawberries are finally here; and like a lot of great things, they’re only here for a short time. You can eat them straight, but I like them how my grandparents would serve them…sliced, slightly crushed and placed over the top of ice cream or cake.

Amy

Fresh Thyme Leaf

Thyme leaf FRESH is another flavor explosion. Dried thyme has its place, sure, but it doesn’t hold a candle to FRESH when you want put a Love Spell on someone. Trust me. I’m over 40.

Red Russian Kale

During the local season, this often-overlooked variety can be the sweetest and tenderest—and its flat form makes it easy to prepare. I usually sauté it briefly in olive oil or bacon fat, adding a little lemon and some sweet cherry tomatoes at the end. It’s also great raw—a friend suggested a salad of Red Russian, red bell pepper, and banana, and the flavor balance was perfect. I modified that to make a “wrap” of kale, peppers, fresh figs and local cheese. Lovely.

Blue Diamond Nut Thins® Hint of Salt

These crackers are pleasantly crunchy, perfect for the gluten-free and non-gluten-free alike, and go with EVERYTHING. Chicken salad, tuna salad, peanut butter, almond butter, artichoke dip, vegan spinach dip, hard and spreadable cheeses and cheezes, mango chutney, the possibilities are endless! I also appreciate how low they are in sodium so the salt never overwhelms any of the other flavors.

Siete Family Foods Cassava and Coconut Tortillas

Grain-free tortillas!

Jack

Sassy Cow Creamery Strawberry Ice Cream

Sassy Cow nails the trickiest of all ice cream flavors with a lightly creamy and berry-forward recipe. East and West only.

Renard’s Morel and Leek Monterey Jack Cheese

Sauté some button mushrooms and pile them between shreds of this cheese and two tortillas until melted. Heaven!

Amy

Kalona Super Natural Organic Whole Chocolate Milk

Best Chocolate Milk I have EVER tasted! So rich. So creamy. Perfect Treat!

Sartori Cheese MontAmoré

It has an amazing creamy texture with sweet, fruity tones. I love the taste! But the biggest reason I like it is that when I bring it to an event, everyone goes on and on about how wonderful it is. I am now required to bring some when I visit my family in Colorado. They are in love with it, too.

Stef

Pretzilla Soft Pretzel Burger Buns

PERFECT for veggie burgers, gyro burgers, or regular burgers. They are soft and tasty!!

Katie

Rishi Citron Green Tea

When it’s warm out, this tea tastes delicious iced! Add a slice of lemon or orange and a sprig of mint, and treat your body to this sublime experience. West only.

Kirsten

Gail Ambrosius Chocolate-Covered Pretzels

Fancy enough to feel like you’re eating something special, but casual enough to just snack. Goes great with a coffee porter or stout.

Amanda

Briannas Home Style Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

I have been fond of this dressing for years, and finally we carry it here. So great on salads, and also good paired with game day chicken wings and celery!

Kyle

NessAlla Lemongrass Ginger Kombucha

At first I was reluctant to try kombucha, imagining the flavor would be weird. But I gave it a chance and sampled a bit of the Lemongrass Ginger, and I was pleasantly surprised to find I love it. It has a crisp, clean, flavor that makes me feel a little healthier when I drink it.

Brian

Paqui Tortilla Chips Nacho Cheese Especial

Gluten-free and non-GMO. Great chips to snack on plain or eat with salsa or sour cream dip. One bag is never enough! They taste amazing.

Herban Cowboy Deodorant

Smells great, works great!

Evanhealy Blue Cactus Beauty Elixir

After trying this Beauty Elixir, I now use it every morning as my daily moisturizer. It feels extremely nourishing and moisturizing, but at the same time it absorbs well and doesn’t leave my face feeling oily. This product from Evanhealy is a bit of a splurge, but it feels luxurious, is packed full of antioxidants, and is certified organic. I’m hooked! East and West only.

Laura

NutriBiotic Skin Cleanser

This is my favorite facial cleanser. It does not over dry my skin, very gentle, and fragrance free.

Frantseska

evanhealy Rosehip Treatment Facial Serum

I love this product! It leaves my skin soft and hydrated after application. My skin is glowing!

Sarah

Willy Street Co-op Almond Cheeze Ball

I could eat one of these every single day. I’m not even joking. I check the Deli case every single day to see if they are there so I can snatch one up. They are so creamy, dreamy, savory and flavorful. Also, if you feel like sharing, they’re a great and easy party food!

Kelsey Foster

Willy Street Co-op Orange You Glad It’s Vegan Cake

Listen, you need to get this cake. I can’t even explain how good it is. It is ridiculously delectable—sweet without being overly rich, super moist, and with a fantastic creamy frosting. You will not regret it.

Kristi Jo

Bee’s Wrap Sustainable Food Storage Wraps

This makes the perfect gift for the environmentally conscious. It works beautifully for wrapping leftovers, cheese, produce or bread, or for covering a bowl. It’s endlessly reusable by gently hand washing in cool water and mild dish soap.

Sara

Pacha Soap

I love all the scents, but my new favorite has to be the Sand & Sea bar.

With exfoliating volcanic ash and pumice, your skin will be left brightened, refreshed and lingering with the scent of the sea. Plus, Pacha is an awesome company. Your Pacha Soap purchases help fuel clean water initiatives, small-scale soap shops and other sustainable ventures in developing countries!

Angela

Wedderspoon Organic Manuka Honey Pops

My kids love these pops. It’s a great way to sneak a little good-for-them honey when they won’t take a spoonful. Mama likes them too—great for sore throats!
