Banzo Falafel Mix
It is local, it is already made and ready to be cooked. I have baked it and fried it. Great both ways. It is tasty in a pita or I like to fry it in smaller bites to add to a salad. MMMMMMM!
Bell & Evans Cornish Hen
These are so easy to prepare and are so juicy! You won’t believe it! You can bake or grill these whole or try and use a spatchcock method of cutting. These little birds are a great way to try out that cooking technique. It shortens the cooking time.
Mourning Dove
Organic Sweet Potatoes
Three words: sweet potato smoothie. I like to chop up sweet potato, bake in a glass dish with a little water, and store in the fridge to have on hand to add to salads. But they’re also perfect for making a creamy dessert drink. Blend two frozen bananas, a hearty handful of cooked sweet potato chunks, and a couple dashes of pumpkin pie spice. Add water and blend. Sweet, super creamy, and tastes like pumpkin pie.
Organic Fair Trade Bananas
I love that we sell bananas that aren’t just organic, but also Fair Trade! And since they come in their own made-by-nature packaging, they’re an easy way to include fresh food on a road trip or nature adventure.

Alter Eco Super Dark Crisp Mint Chocolate
The combination of really dark chocolate plus mint with a little crunch is so delicious! Before I tried this bar, I’d never seen a 90% bar that was flavored, and I think it’s a great option to have. This company’s chocolate is very luscious and smooth. So if you too have been looking for an extra dark chocolate bar beyond the basics, this is the one!
Melissa
Solely Dried Fruit Jerky
These right here are some of my go-to snacks. Super delicious, certified organic fruit snacks with no added sugar, flavors, or fillers. Super convenient; I keep a stash of these in both my hiking bag and my desk drawer. My favorites are the Mango with Chili & Salt and Banana with Cacao, but all varieties are in my regular snacking rotation.
Brandy
Fuyu Persimmons
This variety of persimmon can be eaten when it is still slightly firm, it is incredibly sweet with notes of cinnamon.
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!
Jess
Louisville Vegan Maple Bacon Jerky
A savory snack for both adults and kids.
Orca Bay Sea Scallops
All-natural and sweet and tender.
Katherine
Maldon Sea Salt
This fancy sea salt not only is a lovely addition to your countertop display but will add a tasty crunch to anything you prepare.

Rishi Tea Loose Leaf Tea
Whether it’s spring, summer, winter, or fall, Rishi Tea has something perfect for them all! Their loose-leaf tea is conveniently portioned into 4 oz resealable bags, which helps keep the tea fresh when storing it at home or in the office. And when you purchase Rishi Tea, you help support a local business which is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Naked Baker Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
It’s fall, which means pumpkin everything! I really like this brand and I don’t even have a gluten restrictive diet—it’s really just that good! Pumpkin and chocolate are a favorite combo and these cookies are perfect! Soft, chewy, with plenty of chocolate chips!
Willy Street Co-op Pumpkin Bar
This “bar” is more like a piece of cake, and I love it for that. At the beginning of the pandemic when the Production Kitchen was closed, they were sorely missed! I try to only have one a week, but sometimes it’s hard not to give in when they’re freshly stocked and so close to the check-out!
Lacey
Madison Sourdough Pepitas Polenta Bread
I’ve never had a bread like this one anywhere else. It’s so delicious and unique especially when it’s toasted; the pepitas and polenta get all toasty and even more flavorful. And if you’re pro avocado toast, this is the sourdough for you. Give this locally baked gem a try!
Mad Hippie Vitamin A/Vitamin C Serums
I’ve been using these morning and night for almost a year and have seen a huge improvement in my skin. It’s helped with sun damage, fine lines, smoothness, and dullness. The Vitamin C Serum brightens immediately and perks my skin up. The Vitamin A Serum definitely makes my skin look clearer/healthier in the morning.

Mount Hagen Organic Fair Trade Instant Coffee
This is one of the top-rated instant coffees for a reason! It is excellent for backpacking and camping, but I always keep some in my work bag, too. When they say you can dissolve it in cold water for instant iced coffee they mean it—which I think is fabulous. Organic, delicious, and instant, this is a great product!
Laura
Just Coffee Half Caff Coffee
If you’re like me and are a bit caffeine sensitive and prefer the buzz more of tea than coffee (but love the coffee flavor and still want a bump) this might be the perfect roast for you. It’s also a truly delicious roast—smooth and malty and made by a super-cool Fair Trade, organic company right here in Madison!
Tierra Farm Pistachio Mulberry Granola
This is, hands-down, the only granola for me. Just the right balance of sweet and salty packed full of delicious pistachios and mulberries—two of my favorite superfoods! I love it in yogurt for breakfast or anytime as a snack!
Ski Queen Gjetost Cheese
This Norwegian whey cheese has a creamy, caramel taste that is perfect with crisp, fall apples... the combination tastes like a caramel apple, but better! (In my opinion)
Equal Exchange Ginger Tea
You might think I’m crazy, but I gave up caffeine a few months ago and replaced it with this. Its spicy kick is an invigorating pick-me-up in the mornings and ginger’s medicinal properties counter any stomach ailments or nausea I might experience throughout the day—win, win!
Steffry
Off the Block Hot Salsa
The flavor is so good and how it got started is an even better story. It’s a local product and Black-owned business. Not only is the company made for a good cause but the product is fabulous too.
Dan
Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Chips
First off, these taste like Pringles. So the brand name is a misnomer as you will eat far more than is sensible. Generally I will finish off a quarter can while making dinner, and my wife will eat alone because I am full. Sensible.
Nicole
JBC Rock the House Coffee
Coffee notes of chocolate and hazelnut, it’s smooth and tastes as good as it smells! I make a cup every morning in my French press.
Nicholas
Willy Street Co-op Beet & Kale Salad
I love the color and texture of this salad! The beets, kale, and tahini make it really filling and super tasty! The Beet & Kale is easily one of my favorite salads that we make here at the Willy Street Co-op Production Kitchen. Available at East and North only.
Andrew
Manitoba Harvest Hemp Yeah! Max Protein Powder
If you are looking for a tasty alternative to whey or soy without having to sacrifice a full amino acid profile, (a.k.a the stuff that makes the protein work), then look no further than HEMP YEAH! A staple of my post workout shake, Hemp Yeah keeps me feeling light yet gives me the recovery I need to power through a heavy workout schedule.
Dean
Willy Street Co-op Door County Cherry Pie
This pie is made with local cherries, and it is so delicious! Great warmed up with ice cream, or as is, your taste buds will thank you for the serious flavor!
Angelica
Willy Street Co-op Hot Bar Hot Dish
Beefy, cheesy, potatoey, hot... what more could a Wisconsinite want on a cold Saturday afternoon?
Tony’s Chocolonely Hazelnut Milk Chocolate
Nutty (but not too nutty) and deliciously smooth, these enormous bars will impress you by showing you how much chocolate you can eat in one sitting. The irregular shapes of the break-off-able pieces also spark joy. Highly recommend!
Amy
Omena or Farmer’s Market Brands Canned Organic Pumpkin Purée
Not just for pies. Pancakes, enchiladas, chili, dips, oatmeal, pumpkin butter, sauce for pasta, breakfast egg custard, SO much more and so easy! It’s. A. Vegetable. Winning!
Abigail
Sunbeam Candles Wise Owl Candle
This candle is so cute and spooky! It’s made from 100% pure beeswax and the company that makes it, SunBeam Candles, is a company run on solar energy. This candle burns super cool and adds a great ambiance to any room. Highly recommended for anytime of the year!
