Evanhealy Whipped Shea Butter for Lips

This is the most moisturizing lip balm I've ever used. It's packed full of all the most moisturizing oils (argan, coconut, avocado), plus shea and cacao butters. Red raspberry oil contains antioxidants and fatty acids, which promote lip health. Vitamin E oil helps reduce signs
  of aging. 

Acure Dry Shampoo

Camping, using semi-permanent hair dye, or just don't have the time to wash and dry your hair? Try dry shampoo! Not only is it easy to use and convenient, it also has only six ingredients—all vegan, sulfate- and paraben-free!

Kristi Jo

Jason Rosewater 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. 

Tiffanie 

Preserve Toothbrush 

Preserve toothbrushes have a 100% recycled handle, they are BPA-free, no animal testing, and come in six fun colors. Ditch your old toothbrush and pick up a Preserve toothbrush. 

Brendon

Local Organic Cauliflower

The local organic cauliflower is so fresh and flavorful! I love it roasted with a little olive oil and sea salt.

Abigail

Gaia Bronchial Wellness Syrup

This stuff is powerful! Very eucalyptus-y and really helps clear out the bronchial passage and nasal passage. A teaspoon is all you need and you can even add it to tea, if you like. A big plus is how awesome a company Gaia is. They use really high-quality herbs and the syrup comes in a glass amber bottle. Give it a try if you are feeling under the weather or even if you have a little scratchy throat from allergies.

Forage Peach Kombucha

The perfect amount of kombucha for one person, in a can! I love drinking this stuff. It is light but flavorful and not too “vinegar-y.” People who don’t think they like kombucha may like this one! Even better that it is locally made, and peach is such a unique flavor for kombucha. YUM.

Allison

Endangered Species Forest Mint + Dark Chocolate Bar

This chocolate has the perfect combination of creaminess, dark-but-not-too-dark chocolate, and natural minty flavor. Quickly becoming my standard go-to! 

Kjerstin

Luna and Larry's Dark Chocolate Coconut Bliss

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!

Megan

Champaign Grapes

These tiny little grapes are one of my all time faves! The stems are edible, so there is no need to bother plucking them off one by one—just pop the whole bunch in your mouth and enjoy a burst of sweet/tart grape           flavor! 

Melissa

Maya Kaimal Red Lentil Butternut Squash Everyday Dal 

I really like this dal. I usually like to keep one or two at my desk or in my pantry at home. It's convenient to be 90 seconds away from enjoying a hearty, warming meal for lunch at the office, or a quick dinner at home. One pouch is filling, so you can easily get two servings out of it. As a bonus, it's certified organic!

Cate

Wisconsin Meadows Grass-Fed Beef Jerky

This flavorful, lean jerky has become a staple in our house. Really glad that the product is local and grass-fed. Makes a nutritious high-protein snack that is great for those grab-and-go moments in life. 

Field Day Organic Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce

I find the pasta sauce section at the store daunting...so many choices, flavors and brands. For years I have been trying tons of different sauces hoping to find a go-to sauce that is organic, reasonably priced, and suites my taste. Finally, I did! The Field Day roasted garlic pasta sauce is flavorful enough on its own, yet plain enough to be dressed up with your favorite veggies or what have you. Plus, the price is right and it is ORGANIC! Yay!

Shelley

RP’s Pasta Frozen Portabello & Parmesan Ravioli

It tastes like restaurant-quality at home. Fast and easy to cook and feeds a family. You will be full and happy after eating this!

Deep Indian Kitchen Naan Pizza
Margherita

The crust is crispy and a little fluffy. Perfect size for one person or an appetizer. It is a must-have for my freezer for an emergency snack. 

Just Pik't Natalie's Frozen Florida Orange Juice

It really tastes fresh. If you can't have fresh-squeezed, this will do. Good for fancy mix drinks or just as your favorite O.J.

Dustin 

Sambazon Berry Bliss and Superberry Acai 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!

Leah

Bountiful Bean Soyfoods Taboolie

You know that summertime quick food you always had in your house growing up? Pita filled with hummus and Bountiful Bean Taboolie was ours because it was easy enough for us kids to make a quick little lunch or afternoon snack on our own. It still is one of my go-to food items. It is a bulgur wheat Middleastern salad with tofu, peppermint, carrots, celery, scallions, parsley, tamari and apple cider vinegar, and it is 100% tasty. It is versatile enough to throw in tortillas, on scrambled eggs, or sprinkled on a salad. It tastes like summer with the all the fresh herbs, and will perfectly complement your sunshine activities!

Caitlyn

Meredith Dairy's Marinated Sheep & Goat Cheese

This is my new favorite cheese, thanks to Dan in the Cheese department at Willy East. It is so good warmed up under the broiler on some crusty bread.  

Kelsey

Sweet Italian Frying Peppers

I get so excited when these come in each year. They are perfect to sauté with garlic and serve over pasta. Plus we get them from a local farm.

Emily

Superior Fresh Farm-Raised Salmon

This is the mildest farm-raised salmon that I've ever eaten, and I think I'm in love. It's raised in an aquaponic farm outside of Hixton, Wisconsin. Ever try Superior Fresh packaged greens? Their fish fertilizes their greens! Who ever thought that we could enjoy fresh and local salmon in Wisconsin?! Find this salmon at the service case at Willy North and at the Seafood Center at East and West. 

Jess

Willy Street Co-op Celery Juice 

Good for inflammation and J-Lo drinks it. In bottles at Willy East and West only. 



Angelica

Perfect Bar Dark Chocolate Almond

These delicious protein bars sustain me the best of all our granola bars and protein snacks. I try to move on to other products, but I can’t help coming back and buying these by the case, because I need them in my life. The flavor is sweet and complex and the texture makes it feel like a dessert bar. In addition to being tasty, they are full of superfoods and nutrients! I make sure to pull them out of the fridge a while before eating so that the chocolate gets a little gooey. Actually perfect!

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.
