Evan
Amy’s Vegetable Pot Pie
Great comfort food that has good flavor and consistency. I could probably eat it every day for lunch if possible. Pro Tip: Microwave for 5 minutes then in a toaster oven for 3-5 minutes; this will cut cooking time down greatly.
Melissa
Willy Street Co-op Vegan Pumpkin Pie
I’ve tried a LOT of pumpkin pie over the years, and this is one of my favorites. SO GOOD!
So Delicious Coco Whip
This tasty topping pairs well with our Willy Street Co-op Vegan Pumpkin Pie. It’s delicious and dairy-free!
Shelley
Tucson Tamale Green Chili and Cheese
These are a go-to in my freezer for a quick and delicious lunch.
Kelly
Field Day Organic Instant Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal
Affordable, easy, and tasty when I just don’t have time to cook.
Anna
Kind Almond Butter Granola Clusters
The clusters make this granola easy to eat and a great grab-and-go snack.
Grant
Willy Street Co-op Green Zinger Fresh Juice Blend
My favorite juice blend! This bottle is packed with freshly juiced goodness including a shot of wheatgrass, and it tastes great! When I drink one of these I feel invigorated for the rest of the day!
Lacey
Potter’s Crackers Caramelized Onion Crackers
If you’re looking for the perfect cracker for a cheese plate, this is the one! Potter’s Crackers are made with organic and locally sourced whole wheat flour, milk, and butter in Madison, Wisconsin and most of their produce also comes from small, local farms. This flavor goes with so many cheeses, but I recommend it with Dream Farm’s Farmstead Goat Cheese.
Kelsey
The Cider Farm Classic Hard Cider
I love this cider. It’s locally made from local apples, and it is the best hard cider I’ve ever had. The Classic is a little dry and balances nicely between sweet and tart.
Joe
Royal Hawaiian macadamia nuts
These are delicious, affordable, and come in a handy resealable bag!
Caitlyn
Renard’s 2-Year White Cheddar
For all the times you are looking for a staple, snacking, melting, tasty cheese that doesn’t break the bank.
Willy Street Co-op’s House-Made Soup
A bowl of Willy Street Co-op’s soup is always delicious and a good deal. Some of my recent favorites are Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice and Split Pea with Bacon.
John
Local Kabocha Squash
Generally speaking, I prefer the more dry, finely textured varieties of winter squash; kabocha is all this and more. One of the more naturally sweet varieties, with a sublime nuttiness which I find very pleasing to the palette. And if I may be so bold, a superior alternative to pumpkin for pie making. Taste for yourself!
Angelica
Willy Street Co-op Red Curry Tofu Wrap
If you’re vegan in a hurry, this is the Grab & Go sandwich for you. The Red Curry Tofu is tasty and flavorful and makes it easy to eat the vitamin-rich spinach. An easy way to feel good about lunch on the go!
Amanda
Bell & Evans Cornish Hen
These are so easy to prepare and are so juicy! You won’t believe it! You can bake or grill these whole or try and use a spatchcock cooking method. These little birds are a great way to try out that cooking technique. It shortens the cooking time.
Willow Creek Leaf Lard
This lard is superior to all other lards. Hands down. Use this one, always! I always have a tub in my fridge.
Angelic Sprouted 7-Grain Bread
This bread is so delicious! It is packed with flavor. My first taste was just toasted with nothing on it. YUM! I look forward to lunch when I have this sandwich in my lunchbox.
Ember Foods Vegetable Samosa with Tamarind Chutney
These are a great snack, appetizer or light lunch. This little samosa is packed with flavor and is paired nicely with their beautiful tamarind chutney. They smell and taste divine!
Kyla
LushLife Bakery Cake Slices
These cakes are delicious! They are moist, dense, flavorful and, best of all, vegan and locally made. I definitely recommend this and all other products from this bakery for both vegans and omnivores!
Dean
Willy Street Co-op Door County Cherry Pie
This pie is made with local cherries, and it is so delicious!! Great warmed up with ice cream, or as is. Your taste buds will thank you for the serious flavor!
Laura
Quinn Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels
One of the things I like most about working in the Grocery department (and any of our departments, for that matter) is discovering new products. I don’t know if I ever would have paused to consider these had I not been stocking them the other day. I am so glad that I was in need of a snack and decided to give them a try. It’s always a joy—as a gluten-free person for over eight years—to find something that you haven’t been able to have in years done well, but also be gluten-free, and these are definitely one of those items! I don’t know that I will be able to put them down!
Pomegranates
To me, one of the best winter gifts I can receive is digging into a pomegranate to devour the beautiful, nutritious jewels inside. Full of minerals and vitamins, this is a fruit that will sustain you and bring you a bit of joy during the darkest days of winter!
Brandy
Fuyu Persimmons
This variety of persimmon can be eaten when it is still slightly firm. It is incredibly sweet with notes of cinnamon.
Dustin
Uplands Rush Creek Reserve Cheese
I started including this in my Thanksgiving cheeseboard about four years ago. Since then, my family has insisted I bring it every year. This cheese is creamy like a custard and a bit earthy from the spruce that it is wrapped in. It’s only available for a few weeks each fall, so don’t miss your chance to try this one-of-a-kind cheese!
Cate
Equal Exchange Organic Jasmine Green Tea
I love this tea. I love the flavor, the aroma, the way it takes just a touch of honey to sweeten. The price point is fantastic! I suggest stocking up when it goes on sale to maximize your tea-spending power. And it is an Equal Ex change product which supports small, organic farmers.
Health Force Super Foods Truly Natural Vitamin C
This is a truly high quality vitamin C! I love that it comes in both powder and capsule form. I think the powder version is a super wonderful addition to my morning smoothie. Available at West and North only.
Garden of Life mykind Organic Chewable Vegan D3 2,000 IU
A must-have in my winter wellness toolbox. Seems to help fend off the deep blues I used to experience when the days get short and devoid of much sunshine. I really love that they are vegan AND organic! These raspberry-lemon flavored chewable tablets really do seem to amount to sunshine in a bottle.
Abigail
Oregon’s Wild Harvest-Muscle Relax
This brand is awesome! They have such lovely, high quality products at reasonable prices. The muscle relax is one of my favorites. I take it when I get home after a work out, and it really helps my body to chill and recover. It is also a great product for people who feel anxious or are restless before bed to help with sleep. There are only three ingredients—valerian, skullcap, and hops—all organic of course!
Jon
Thayers Shave Cream/Aftershave Balm
These are great for reducing skin irritation and razor bumps. They have two of my favorite natural skin care ingredients: witch hazel and aloe. Makes shaving a joy with a light uplifting fragrance that lasts through the day.
Angela
Kal Magnesium Glycinate 400
I take magnesium at bed to help with my restless leg, and this is the form that I’ve had the most success with. Only two tablets to hit 400 mg; it’s the best value per dose. It works fast, but does not send me running to the bathroom.
