Willy Street Co-op Hair, Skin and Nails Multivitamin

I bought this about six weeks ago, and for the first time in over a decade I had to buy an emery board. My nails have become so strong they can put up with everything I put them through, including a day's work in the Juice & Coffee Bar or a day of gardening! I still keep them fairly short, but now they don't chip and split from everything I put them through.

Aura Cacia Relaxing Lavender Mist

I am in love with this one. I use it as a facial toner. Most hydrosols are coproducts of the extraction of essential oils. This product uses pure lavender oils mixed with water. It has such a lovely, calming scent and keeps my skin clean and hydrated  for the win.

Scallions 

I worry some of our shoppers don't "do" scallions. I find them to always be a delicate and pleasant addition to just about any dish I use them in. On tacos they are a nice raw add-on topping. In soups, it enhances the flavor and appearance of what might otherwise be unsightly and lackluster. (Think miso or a puree.) In a stir fry, it's a great finish and quick wilt, even if sautéed onions are already a part of the dish. On a crudités plate, it’s so pretty and tasty with a dip or salt. See what I mean! Pretty good fridge life makes them a veggie to always have on hand! 

Living Intentions Raw Sprouted Almonds

These almonds have a "roasted" quality to them and they kinda POP in your mouth, which is FUN! Because they are "activated," they are a bio-available, pre-biotic, phytate-rich superfood. With words like that, you can't lose!

Go Max Go Vegan Candy Bars

These are new (at Willy North), and they are sooooo good! Think vegan versions of your favorite classic candy bars. AND, most of them are    gluten-free. 

MyChelle Sun Shield Facial Liquid, Tinted and Untinted

Okay. This stuff is a little pricey BUT it sits weightlessly on my skin and makes it feel very, very soft and hydrated. I got this as a gift, originally, and now I'm hooked.

Jeni's Ice Cream Brown Butter Almond Brittle Ice Cream

This is the most delicious ice cream I've ever had! It's made with rich buttercream ice cream and chunks of almond brittle. It's a wonderful mixture of sweet, salty and crunchy deliciousness. However, if buttercream and almond brittle don't sound delicious to you, I would suggest trying my second favorite flavor of Jeni's ice cream: Brambleberry Crisp. This one is a made with vanilla ice cream and chunks of oven-toasted, brown sugar oat streusel, and it has brambleberry jam swirled throughout. These are my favorite flavors, but there are several other flavors to pick from, give them all a try! Treat yourself!!!

Voss Organics Herbs

Wow! I seriously can't believe the offerings of unique herbs from Voss Organics! In addition to the usual Basil, Thyme, Sage, etc., they also offer Feverfew, Valerian, and Horehound, which are herbs I would have otherwise counted on having to special order online. It's been such a treat being an herbalist and new homeowner and starting my medicinal garden with herbs offered right at my local Co-op! Selections may vary by store. 

Lacey

Bubbie's Pure Kosher Dill Pickles

I've done the pickle taste test for you, and these are the winner. They're crispy, savory, and addicting. The brine is really good in bloody marys too.

Caitlyn

Topo Chico Mineral Water

The best sparkling water. Not sure if it ever loses its carbonation. I opened a bottle before I fell asleep one time and it was still super bubbly the next morning. A true hero and legend. 

Dustin

Majestic Garlic Original Creamy Garlic Spread

This spread is the best! It has a very prominent garlic taste, but it's not overwhelming. I LOVE garlic so I love to dip chips or pretzels in it. I add a spoonful to sauces and other dishes when I'm cooking, that way you don't have to chop and peel garlic.

Meggie

Chip Magnet Mango Habanero Salsa

I really like this salsa because it has a nice smooth consistency that's not too watery and the spicy-hot ratio is spot on. Great dipping straight outta the jar with some blue chips or as a garnish.

Quinn Creamy Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets

Talk about a satisfying crunch. The pretzel layers are perfectly snappy and have a nice earthy, almost smoky flavor due to the various types of flour. Great on their own or amplified with some chocolate and/or an apple. 

Forrest

Willy Street Co-op Ranchero Salad

This is a perfect light lunch or dinner. Great base of greens topped with seeds, cheese, and salsa. The house-made ranch dressing brings out a melody of flavors.

Mourning Dove

Baby White Turnips

A couple years ago someone told me how "buttery" these turnips were. Based on how their eyes lit up, I just had to try them. Now I wait all year for them. I love to chop them up raw to add to salads, but I have to admit that I eat most of them before they make it to the bowl. 

James

Paleo Mama Magic Bars

These little bars may be small but they are so good and so worth it! They taste so good that you will be shocked that they are paleo, gluten-free, and grain-free! I don't adhere to any of those diets, but every now and then I just have to buy a package of these. They have clean     ingredients and are locally made—what's not to love!       Available at East and West only. 

Willy Street Co-op Ginger Tempeh Wrap

Crunchy, healthy, craveable, delicious, and vegan!

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! East and West only. 

Paul

Ramps

Taste the fresh beginning of the spring.
