Willy Street Co-op Reader
Signs of spring around the Co-op are really ramping up! 🌱
Local and organic ramps from Harmony Valley Farm in Viroqua are on the shelves, ready to be sautéed, grilled, or quick-pickled. Or try ramp pesto—a Co-op favorite!
Find the recipe at the 🔗 in our bio.
Meet the people starting your plants! Mark at Voss Organics and Randy at West Star Organics have been growing our seedlings locally for over 20 years. And, as their name implies, they are all organic.
You’ll see a few racks of plants at the front of our stores now, featuring hardier options like herbs, cold-tolerant vegetables, and flowers that can withstand cooler temperatures. It’s always a good idea to check the tag, though! As the weather warms, the racks—and the selection—will grow too. Tomatoes and peppers will arrive in late-April or early-May.

Willy Street Co-op staff pursue a number of methods to minimize the amount of food that goes into the landfill. Here are a few of the major ways:
🥫 Donating to food pantries and food banks.
🫘 Offering 500+ products in bulk.
🪱 Collecting scraps for composting.
🍇 Offering smaller amounts of most produce sold by the pound.
🍝 Using produce seconds for prepared foods.
🍌 Selling very ripe or slightly bruised produce at a steep discount.
🧀 Cheese niblets are small chunks of cheese that might otherwise be discarded.
🆓 Giving it to staff members via our employee "free box."
