Superior Fresh Baby Romaine Blend
All of Superior Fresh's salad mixes are lovely, but this one is filled with tender, mild-tasting baby romaine that I enjoy lightly dressed along with my breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Think of that perfect side salad you'd get with a quiche or pressed sandwich at your favorite local cafe. This is the lettuce I imagine! I also am a big fan that it is organic and grown in Wisconsin. Available at North and West only.
Mourning Dove
Red Grapes
Red grapes + frozen bananas + lemon + water = pink lemonade smoothie. Perfect for a hot summer day! Or pop some in the freezer for an hour for a slightly frozen and refreshing dose of vitamin K.

Olden Organics Zoodles
Worth rotating into your meals. They have substance of their own, and while they don't replace the texture and flavor of pasta, they create a flavorful vehicle for sauce transport. Reduce your pasta intake with vegetables!
Demeter
Derma E Jasmine Vanilla Lotion
When it comes to lotions I'm very picky, and I've finally found one I'll buy over and over again! It's moisturizing while not being too heavy and the scent is fantastic. It manages to stay subtle while still smelling like my favorite tea!

Wyld CBD Gummies
These CBD gummies are the absolute most delicious CBD gummy I've ever had (and honestly, the most delicious CBD product in general)! They are made with broad-spectrum U.S.-grown hemp, real fruit and sugar, and are vegan and gluten-free.These gummies have a lovely texture and amazing flavor (you won't even know it's CBD—really!) They come in four flavors: lemon, raspberry, blackberry, and huckleberry (my personal favorite), and are an excellent dose of 25mg per gummy.

Mount Hagen Organic Fair Trade Instant Coffee
Instant coffee has been a guilty pleasure, but with Mount Hagen, I have no more guilt. Fair Trade, organic, delicious. Really delicious! Dissolves in hot or cold, so you can make iced coffee quickly, or add it to a smoothie! Mount Hagen Instant Coffee is definitely my copilot.
Sprout Living Epic Coffee Mushroom Protein
I struggle eating breakfast. For years I would just have a cup (or three) of coffee. Now this is my go-to breakfast, and I feel so much better! 20 grams of protein, five-mushroom blend, real coffee. Plant-based, and sweetened with coconut sugar and a little stevia. I look forward to it every morning. I spike it with some Mount Hagan Instant coffee for an extra boost. Available at North and West only.
Organic Broccoli
Old Reliable, as it's known in our house. I think broccoli is the perfect veggie—versatile, tasty, nutritious. You can eat big old spears for dippin', or finely chop to hide in mac and cheese because your toddler won't eat it. Eat it raw, roasted, or boiled to mush. It's ALL good.

evanhealy Rose Vetiver Day Moisturizer
evanhealy's products are all designed to work with and enhance your skin's natural beauty. I put this moisturizer on in the morning and am good to go for the day. It is light and breathable and smells so so nice. A little goes a long way; I've had my current container for over a year now!

Eden Organic Black Beans
So okay, I've thought for a long time that, hey, canned beans are canned beans...Turns out maybe they are not all created equal! I purchased the Eden Organic Black Beans when they were on sale recently and honestly, both the quality and taste seemed superior. These beans are exceptionally creamy and made my already AMAZING bean tacos even more amazing than usual :)
River Hills Harvest Health Cordial
Tastes great and good for you! The honey, clove, and cinnamon sweeten and complement the juice of the immune-boosting elderberry juice in a most delightful way. Take a tablespoon or two each day to keep the immune system up, or mix it with soda water for a delightfully refreshing spritzer!
Beyond Good by Madecasse Madagascar Pure Dark Heirloom Chocolate
The flavor of this chocolate is like none other. I love it! It is super rich and creamy. This chocolate is so good that it has become the "secret ingredient" in my homemade chili! From the reading I have done, it seems that the owners of this company have a longstanding relationship with the growers of their cocoa beans and that the relationship has been one that respects and financially benefits the people growing these amazing heirloom criollo beans. I really hope so because I don't want to have to give up eating this chocolate. P.S.—this particular chocolate is vegan!

Tillen T Farms MERRY Maraschino Cherries
Great for an Old Fashioned or to put in your ice cream. They have a wonderful quality and taste. They almost seem homemade. They are a must-have staple in my home.
Tucson Tamale Green Chili & Cheese
These are fat and delicious tamales. High quality. If you can't go out to eat and don't know how to make homemade tamales or don't have time, these are perfect. Cook one and have some rice and beans for a side. You can make two meals out of one pack.

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.
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!

Miyokos Cheers to Cheddah spread
Super great for cheese and crackers or spread on toast with anything added. Great flavor and simple ingredients.

Forage Kitchen Kombucha
I prefer my booch to have lots of fizz. These new kombuchas from Forage Kitchen down on State Street here in Madison are certainly fizzy—and they have been filtered so they won't contain floating blobs which is good for those that don't enjoy the SCOBY bits. I also like that they are 12 ounces rather than 16. Plus, the can makes it easier to bring along to places you can't have glass bottles, like swimming pools, city parks, and some beaches. And why wouldn't you want to enjoy a nice, cold booch in any of those locales?

El Rey Lemon Tortilla Chips
These chips are dangerous. Perfectly crisp and lemony. They don't stay in my house for long.

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).
Madison Sourdough Grain and Seed Boule
This bread is light and fluffy but still has a lot of substance. It's the perfect size for small sandwiches or toast and pairs well with almost anything.
Joe
Primal Kitchen Salad Dressings
I like these dressings because they taste good and are made with healthier avocado oil instead of soy.
Ancient Nutrition Vanilla Bone Broth Protein
High-quality, paleo-friendly instant protein option. Tasty vanilla flavor makes it versatile for more mixing options.
