Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups

Forget everything you thought you knew about chocolate peanut butter cups; these will rock your world!!!

Floradix Liquid Iron

About a year ago, I was feeling worn down, like I might be deficient in iron. I decided to try Floradix liquid Iron. Being in liquid form and containing B vitamins for extra energy support and vitamin C for absorption, I could feel it working almost immediately. After taking the daily dose and working through the bottle, I feel like my Iron levels have been back on track ever since!

Mourning Dove 

Pluots

My friend and I call these Plutons, because they’re out of this world. Bursting with flavor and oh-so-juicy. Get them while you can, because we’ll probably be buying them all. 

Garlic Scapes

Garlic scapes can't decide if they want to be garlic or onions, and that's ok with me. They're mild enough to eat raw and work well blended up in dressings, mixed into potato salad, or sprinkled on top of vegan pizza. They're also pretty tasty roasted. Use them in place of scallions in any dish. 

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!

Michaiah

Tipi Produce Green Kale

Local means fresher. And raw whole greens means nutritious! Delicious for a long healthy life. Smoothie, salad, stir-fry!

Abigail

Pro Bar Bolt Organic Energy Raspberry Chews

I tried these at first because I needed an energy (read: caffeine) boost before the gym, but wasn't feeling any of the drink options we carry. Before I knew it, I was buying them EVERY DAY, even if I wasn't going the the gym. There are two servings in a pack—I try to split up the servings, but sometimes I end up eating both! The raspberry flavor containers 20 mg caffeine per serving from yerba mate along with other really helpful boosters like electrolytes and vitamin B12. Perfect gummy pick-me-up!

Meggie

Organic Celery

I wouldn’t “nece-celery” think of these crunchy green stalks as my favorite food per se, but when paired with either a bean dip or nut butter or blended with some melon and lime juice, you just can’t get enough!

Maxine's Organic Chocolate Ice Cream

I don't know what their secret is, but I have never had a chocolate ice cream that is soooooooo velvety smooth. Seriously, the texture is amazing. Besides it being a great product, I like to support Maxine's/Three Twins for three other reasons. They have a production facility in Sheboygan, their products are organic, and they donate proceeds to Global Wildlife Conservation for every container purchased.

Ellie

Equal Exchange Coconut Milk Chocolate

This chocolate is dairy-free, but personally I think it's better than regular milk chocolate! It's so creamy and has a nice, light coconut flavor. Plus it's Fair Trade!

Evan

Field Roast Mini Corn Dogs

Super easy to make and great for school lunches. It uses Field Roast's frankfurter hot dog that is very good on its own also.


Shelley

Gittos Farm N Kitchen
Organic Wheat Tortillas

Trying to eat more whole wheat bread and these are wonderful, local, and fresh. 


Patrick

Go Macro Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bar

This has been my go-to bar for a few years now. Other bars just haven't stacked up to this one for me. Starting work at 4:30/5am I need some fuel to get me going, but don't want to wake up my whole house making breakfast. That's where this bar comes in great with 11 grams of protein and almost 300 calories, it's enough to keep me going.

Diana's Banana Babies

These Banana Babies are a delicious frozen treat! I love the dark chocolate and they always use perfectly ripe bananas. I honestly prefer them to ice cream and they have much less sugar. 

Leah

Biokleen Bac-Out

As the owner of a 10-year-old tiny dog and a cat, there are times that accidents happen in our household. Bac-Out is a security deposit saver! This fast acting stain and odor remover works wonders on carpets and rugs. 

Angela

GT's Synergy Organic Kombucha Cosmic Cranberry

When I drink this, I feel like I am doing something good for myself. Just sweet enough, tart, tangy, and quenching. 


Flora

Wildbrine Korean Kimchi

This zesty, spicy kimchi is so full of goodness. It's great as a flavorful side to dinner, or as its own snack. My love for this kimchi started when I nipped a cold in the bud just by eating a bit of this every day; I could feel it invigorating me as soon as I ate it. The garlic, ginger, and probiotics will be sure to keep you healthy throughout all your spring and summer adventures!

Tara

Weleda Skin Food Body Butter

If you've ever tried Weleda's Original Skin Food Moisturizer and thought, wow this is amazing, but kinda on the thick and greasy side, then their new body butter is for you! It's made with simple ingredients, deeply moisturizing, easy to apply and has a subtle fresh scent that I find really nice. I really dislike a moisturizer that's oily or greasy, and this is neither! My new go-to!

Peach 

Tea Tree Therapy
Vaginal Suppositories 

Well let's not be shy now :) .....Bodies, we've all got 'em. Sometimes things get out of balance and it's important to practice self-care. It can be awkward going in and asking about a sensitive subject. That's why it's so important to talk about it. This product helps me feel rebalanced. Tea tree is a great cleanser and coconut oil is moisturizing. Power to the V! and cheers to self-empowerment. 

Amy

Flower Bouquets

A serious cliché, but with good reason! Make an Every Day an Amazing Day. Have you ever treated yourself? How about your crossing guard? How about your kid? How about your dad's caregiver? Don't be creepy about it. Just let someone know you appreciate them. That you are grateful. I'm not crying, you're crying.

Kelsey

Mineral Fusion Glitter Top Coat Nail Polish

You can use it as a top coat on other colors to make them glittery, or you can just wear this by itself for a pure glitter look. The trick is to pour a bit of the polish on a makeup sponge, dab it onto your nails, then add another layer once it's dry. It's a bit messy but you get the most glittery nails ever.

Patrick 

Willy Street Co-op Grass-Fed Burger Patties

These burger patties are ground fresh on-site from grass-fed Wisconsin Meadows beef. So good! Available at East and West only. 


Joe

Silver Creek Venison Summer Sausage

Tastes great, and it doesn't get much more "Wisconsin" than venison!


Caitlyn

Andrew & Everett American Sliced Cheese

I've got a big soft spot for American cheese and this one is on top of the list. All of A&E's milk comes from Wisconsin or nearby and grass-fed cows. Upgrade that cheeseburger today. 

Cate

Dreamfarm Fresh Chevre

From Cross Plains, WI this is one of my favorite local cheeses. It is soft, creamy, so fresh and flavorful, everything a quality goat cheese should be. It comes in several flavors but my favorites are the garlic/dill (love this paired with bread) and the traditional plain (amazing coupled with pears and figs when they are in season). However, I've tried all the flavors and have loved each of them for their own unique       taste and culinary interests.
