MaskTite

Pretty simple product, but so amazing! MaskTite is medical grade double sided tape that you use to keep your mask on. Apply it to the part that covers your nose. It holds the mask in place so you get: 1) No glasses fog, 2) No slipping—no constantly adjusting your mask! A must-have for anyone who has to wear a mask for long periods of time. You can take it off to each lunch and put it back on. It holds for me through an entire workday without adding another. With 36 in a pack, nearly a two-month supply.

Wedderspoon Manuka Honey Drops & Pops

Manuka honey is a type of honey native to New Zealand. It’s produced by bees who pollinate the flower known as the Manuka bush. Manuka honey’s antibacterial properties are what set it apart from common honey. In fact, it has traditionally been used for wound healing, soothing sore throats, preventing tooth decay and improving digestive issues and therefore makes this my go-to honey and cough drops!

Fire Cider Vinegar Tonic

This is the best vinegar tonic! Chock-full of raw, organic, health-promoting ingredients with a citrus and apple cider base. The vinegar extracts all the plants’ beneficial compounds and flavors over the course of several weeks, then they mix in raw, organic wildflower honey to balance all that spicy tartness. It’s a distinctive fresh-foods taste that’s potent and energizing and worth a daily dose.

evanhealy Rosehip Treatment Facial Serum— Rose

This serum is a great addition to my regular skincare lineup! Shout out to my sister Bri for the rec. I love to drop some into my palm along with a spray of my favorite facial mist and apply either alone or with moisturizer. It's hydrating and nourishing but not super oily when mixed with a mist    and gives me the nicest glow! 

Mourning Dove

Boody Eco Wear Shaper Bra

Normally I'd say burn the bras, but these are so soft and comfortable. They are made out of eco-friendly bamboo and are perfect for yoga! 

GT's Cayennade Kombucha

This is the best kombucha in existence. Perfect if you have to wake up early, are recovering from a night out, or if you feel a cold coming on. Tastes great, super
  refreshing, and has a kick! 

Kishu Mandarins

These tiny little oranges are not only adorable, but they taste like childhood. Fresh, sweetly unique, and oh so itty bitty. 

Amy

Endive (aka, Chicory, Witlof)

I tried this roasted with salt and pepper and olive oil and it was transcendental. Grill it for char. In its raw form it does a 180 to a crispy, mild, natural scoop for dips. Get seriously snooty with this          veggie!

Brianna's Dijon Honey Mustard Dressing

My new go-to salad dressing. The Dijon really pops and it's light on the honey sweetness. They recommend its deliciousness on avocado. How about on chicken? Potato salad?!? Oh, isn't mustard just a miracle?

Melissa

Gardein Meatless Meatballs

I used these for classic (but vegan) spaghetti and meatballs the other night. They are delicious and cook up quickly. I simmered mine in sauce. I will try a “meatball” sub next. 

Go Veggie! Grated Parmesan-Style Topping

I used this recently on vegan spaghetti and meatballs, but I also use it on salads, pizza, garlic bread, eggs, etc. The flavor is fantastic! No lactose, no gluten, AND it’s vegan. 

Bean

Barbara's Jalapeño Puffs 

Wow whatta snack. I can easily eat a whole bag in a day and a half. No shame! Spoiler alert: They're not spicy. Still delicious!

Sage

RISE Oat Milk Latte 

RISE cracked the code for the perfect nitro cold brew, and with an oat milk latte no less! Whether considering size, amount of caffeine, or its naturally sweet and creamy nature, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more refreshing and delicious option for your day.


Mindy

Raw Rev Glo Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Sea Salt Bars

I searched far and wide for a high protein bar that wasn't packed with sugar. Raw Rev Glo fits the bill perfectly—sweet, delicious, and nutritionally balanced. I eat at least one a day, and tend to buy them by the case!

Maria 

Dandy Blend Instant Herbal Beverage with Dandelion

Dandelion is so good for the liver. My favorite way to drink this is with a teaspoon of Dandy Blend, a half teaspoon of instant decaf coffee, a splash of vanilla extract, a dash of cinnamon, sweetener of choice (optional) and choice of milk in 16 oz. of water. Delicious!

Laura

Canyon Bakehouse Deli Rye-Style Gluten-Free Bread

Don't miss out on regular bread anymore now that you are gluten-free. Everything from this company is fabulous and even tastes good cold! One of our shoppers told me that even though he's not gluten-free, he prefers this bread to regular! Melted Renard's Morel and Leek Cheese with pastrami sandwiched between two slices of this bread is a        winter favorite in my household. 

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. 

Joe

Caulipower Pizza Crust

We have several awesome gluten-free pizza crusts. Made largely of cauliflower, this one has a traditional texture, and tastes great (like pizza crust, not cauliflower).

James

Chocolate Shoppe Zanzibar Chocolate Ice Cream

If you're a fan of chocolate ice cream but have never had this particular flavor by Chocolate Shoppe, you are SERIOUSLY missing out! Regular chocolate ice cream doesn't even compare to this stuff. Zanzibar is on a whole new level of chocolate and once you have it, you'll have a hard time ever going back. 

Amanda

Banza Pasta 

I LOVE PASTA!! But we are trying to eat less wheat, so I tried this pasta as it is made from chickpeas. It is fantastic! Pairs well with whatever sauce I throw on it. 


Emily

Cedar Road Meats Peppered Bacon

This bacon comes with a built in peppery kick. It is super delicious in a BLT, crumbled over a salad, or added to any breakfast sandwich! 

Benjamin

The Naked Baker Gluten-Free Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

Made with plenty of cocoa and cinnamon, this chocolate cookie is a delicious treat. The quality ingredients like butter and eggs make for an exceptionally soft cookie that melts in your mouth. An additional bonus is that it's gluten-free! Pair it with a cup of coffee and you're in heaven. 

Emily

Concorde Pears from Washington

These seasonal pears rank supreme in my book. When ripe, they are soft, sweet, and juicy, with hints of almond flavor. Some people taste vanilla instead of almond—either way, they're the best. They are well worth the price! 

Caitlyn

Willy Street Co-op Juice Bar’s Cold Brew

Cold brew season is year-round for me and the Juice Bar’s brew is always nice and strong.
