Jason Rosewater Body Washjason body wash

This product is my bath time jam! It makes a really great bubble bath as well as a body wash. The scent is so beautiful! Take time to get in the bath and smell the roses. 

Joe

Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil

Not just another MCT oil. This is the one specified in the original recipe for "Bulletproof coffee" because of superior C8 (caprylic acid) content. American-made, and coconut-based to help protect orangutans (vs. typical palm-based products.)

Jess 

Orca Bay Sea Scallops

All-natural and sweet and tender.

Applegate Gluten-Free Uncured Beef Hot Dogs

Not just for kids! Try them with your favorite mustard or hot sauce.

Boursin: All Flavorsboursin

If you haven't tried this soft cheese you should. Excellent with crackers, pretzels or crunchy bread sticks. Perfect complement to your next charcuterie board. 

Gazela Vinho Verde

Like Pinot Grigio? You'll love Gazela. Light fresh and slightly bubbly wine from Portugal. 

Stasher Bags, all sizes

They are easy for my kiddos to use, and they fit into their lunch tote better than a hard container. Easy to wash and reusable. Did you also know that you can warm up food in them? 

Sara

Core Home Food Storage Containers

Jazz up your refrigerator with these new glass storage containers that come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. They have a concave bamboo lid for ease of stacking, which conserves space in your cabinets or refrigerator. 

Mourning Dove

Aura Cacia Lemon Essential Oil

I like to use this brightening essential oil when I've been working on the same task for too long, or I've been stuck working at a computer for hours. Dab a few drops on your wrists and take a deep breath in for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!

Collin

Hi-ball Vanillahiball vanilla

I know what you're thinking...vanilla flavored sparkling water energy drink? Sounds weird, right? Wrong. This flavor is the absolute best—think of delicious cream soda without any of the sugar. Plus it has natural caffeine and guarana for a boost for your day. It also mixes well if you're of age try it with your favorite brandy and add a dash of grenadine for a simple, delicious and refreshing summer cocktail!

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! 

Meggie

GT's Cocoyo Original Pure Flavor

"If you know you know" is all there is to say about this product. I actually got that saying from a yoga teacher I used to have who shares my enthusiasm for what lies in this little glass container. She used to say things like "if you can you must" and "24 hrs in a day your body does all this work for you so taking one hour for it is nothing in comparison." Hardcore, right? Anyway, you really MUST try this...It's low in sugar, and has a delicious flaky (not like your friends) and smooth texture that is a delightful treat! 

Colin

Coolhaus Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwich

A very well-portioned take on an unbeatable classic. The surrounding cookie is soft, full of flavor and rich. The ice cream might as well be straight up cream; even right out of the freezer it is soft, rich, and tastes like real vanilla. It's filled with bite-sized pieces of cookie dough that match the outside cookie.

Jorge

Kadota Figs

I like these figs because they are very sweet when ripe, and are awesome in oatmeal or just eaten by themselves. Wish they were a year-round item, but we get them around now, so the wait is well worth it.

Shelley

Tillen T Farms Merry Maraschino Cherries tillen cherries

Great for an Old Fashioned or put some of the cherries in your ice cream. They have a wonderful quality and taste. They almost seem homemade. They are a must-have staple in my home. 

Mel

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). 

Lindsey

Alden's Organic Salted Caramel Ice Cream

This is my FAVORITE ice cream sold at the Co-op. It's organic, oh-so-creamy, and has an amazing flavor profile! Add a few nuts or some chocolate sauce for a true treat.

Amanda

Cheese Niblet Bin

I was not an adventurous cheese-eater before. But with the niblet bin, I can try different small pieces of cheese. I guess you could say it has really broken me out of my cheese shell! Available at East and North only.

Laura

GT's Kombucha Watermelon Wondergts watermelon

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

Kjerstin

Coconut Bliss Dark Chocolate

I'm not an ice cream lover (especially the vegan ones) but, in summer, there is ALWAYS some of this in my freezer. Both a happy ingredients list (so rare for processed foods!) and incredibly yummy ice cream. My favorite is the dark chocolate, but all of the flavors are slightly coconutty and de-lish!

Dustin 

Sambazon Acai Berry Bliss and Superberry Bowls 

These are the perfect portion sizes and a great breakfast option for a warm summer day. I like to put fresh berries, banana, coconut flakes and peanut butter on mine!

Kelsey

Underwood Wines Strawberry Cooler

This canned wine is the perfect summertime drink for sitting outside in the sunshine and relaxing. It's light, it's sweet, and the can is pretty.

Max

Italian Peppers

The best sweet pepper! That's it, plain and simple. A secret of farmers and Co-op staff for years, these peppers are the sweetest we carry. I never buy bell peppers when these are in season. They freeze great, so you can enjoy them in January too! 

Katie

Siggi's Plain Non-fat YogurtSiggis 24 oz for June 21 Reader

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.

James

Sensible Portions Garden Sea Salt & Vinegar Veggie Chips

A much healthier version of Pringles, these chips are made from more than just potatoes! I like all of the flavors, but I think the Sea Salt & Vinegar are my favorite because they're just tangy enough to keep me from eating the whole tube in one sitting!

Sally the Salad Bot Salads!

I am low-key obsessed with our new Salad Bot at Willy East. I tried it out when it first came in and immediately was hooked—the cilantro lime vinaigrette got me! There are several "menu" salads to choose from, as well as a build-your-own option. My favorite build: spinach and romaine, radishes, cucumbers, Parmesan, pumpkin seeds, herbed chicken, tomatoes, and the cilantro lime vinaigrette (I always go for two ounces—EXTRA!). Let the Salad Bot do the work, put the lid on it, and shake it up so that the dressing coats all of the ingredients evenly. I am so glad to have this option for salads this summer!

Lacey

Willy Street Co-op Juice Bar Cold Brew

It's that time of year again...do you need a pick-me-up? This is the stuff! Smooth, tasty, portable. What more could you ask for? 

Tara

Feed Bakery Coconut Key Lime Cookies 

A local and seasonal treat with a tart and sweet combination of coconut and lime with white chocolate chips. It's a perfectly crisp yet soft cookie made with real butter. Yum. Get them while you can!

Melissa

Local Heirloom TomatoesHeirloom tomatoes

When tomatoes are not in season locally, I usually don't bother to eat them. The wait is worth it—local heirloom tomatoes are so flavorful and juicy, just like they should be. At my house, it's constant caprese salads, BLTs (or in my case, Tempeh Lettuce Tomato), and tomato slices on everything. 

Kelly

Plainville Farms Honey Maple Uncured Ham

Humanely raised ham with no additives at a good price. Our favorite way to eat is it slightly toasted on a bagel sandwich or rolled up in a tortilla with cheese. One slice is all you need to make a nice meal. Available at North and West only. 

Nordic Naturals Vitamin C Gummies

These gummies are tasty and offer a nice amount of daily vitamin c. I have had a hard time getting my children to drink vitamin c so these are nice when we are not getting it from our food each day.
