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 1,000 island), and dips (as in, I dip my fries and Boca Chik’n nuggets in it).

Sassy Cow Salted Caramel Ice Cream

You have many salted caramel ice cream options to choose from. What makes this different is the saltiness— it’s not overwhelming, I promise you won’t be taking a bite of cold salt!— but it’s more noticeable than in other varieties. You really get that salty and sweet combo. Plus Sassy Cow is a great local business.

Katherine

Santa Cruz Organic Pure Lemon Juice

I always have one of these in my fridge! It’s wonderful to use for cooking or for making big batches of lemonade. Plus, with no added ingredients it’s a win win!

Benjamin 

Diana’s Banana Babies

These Banana Babies are a delicious frozen treat! I love the dark chocolate and they always use perfectly ripe bananas. I honestly prefer them to ice cream and they have much less sugar.

Amanda

Willow Creek Cottage Bacon

It is locally sourced and sustainably raised bacon. It takes a BLT to another level. Once you go cottage bacon on a BLT, you might never go back to regular bacon.

Joe

Organic Valley Heavy Cream

One of the few brands with no unwanted gums, carrageenan, or other additives.

Laura

Rishi Peach Blossom Tea

This blend makes a great iced tea on a hot summer day!!!…and tastes like Peach pie when made piping hot on a rainy morning. Rishi tea is produced in Milwaukee, so you can feel good about indulging locally.

GT’s Kombucha Watermelon Wonder

The cherry and lime juice rounds out the watermelon flavor beautifully for a refreshing summer beverage! Add vodka for a delicious summer cocktail!

Down to Earth Small Vintage Glasses

Fun designs that make me smile as I’m drinking my morning OJ. Get a whole set for the perfect gift!

Kristi Jo 

Heritage Store Rosewater

Cool yourself off while fancying yourself up with the delicate scent of real roses. I use this as a toner as well as mixing it with my rose clay facial mask. So many ways to use it! A quick splash is a lovely re-freshener in the middle of a hot day too.

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 puree.) In a stir fry, it’s a great finish and quick wilt, even if sautèed 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!

Mourning Dove

Garlic Scapes

Garlic scapes can’t decide if they want to be garlic or onions, and that’s ok with me. They’re mild enough to eat raw and work well blended up in dressings, mixed into potato salad, or sprinkled on top of vegan pizza. They’re also pretty tasty roasted. Use them in place of scallions in any dish.

Willy Street Co-op Cold Brew

Our Juice Bars have some potent cold brew if you are looking for that extra spring in your step. They use locally roasted Just Coffee beans too.

Nicholas

Willy Street Co-op’s Beet & Kale Salad

I love color and texture of this salad! The beets, kale, and tahini make it really filling and super tasty! The Beet & Kale is easily one of my favorite salads that we make here at the Willy Street Co-op Production Kitchen. East and North only.

Leah

Andalou Naturals 1,000 Roses Daily Shade Facial Lotion with SPF 18

This is my daily facial moisturizer! This glides on smoothly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and ready to FACE the day (get it?)! I put this on after washing my face for soft and supple skin. This product is under their sensitive line, which I USE ALL OF for my 32-year-old skin that sometimes thinks it is 16. I wear this under my makeup and then on my bare skin when I go running to give a good layer of SPF 18.
