THE CO-OP DIFFERENCE

Part of the Co-op Difference is that our product selection is based on our cooperative values.

In our Deli, all our coffee is locally roasted, organic, shade-grown and fair trade. Many of the cheeses we provide are local. Our cooks use as much organic ingredients as possible.

Both our Produce and Meat departments buy locally when available. Our produce team seeks unique solutions to a northern climate. For instance, we carry hydroponically-grown tomatoes year-round from a local source. Organic certification matters greatly and is purchased according to availability.

Our staff of buyers uphold criteria for product selection that reflects our cooperative values, as well. These criteria include: non-genetically engineered ingredients, no artificial coloring or flavoring, adherence to fair trade principles, freshness and no highly refined ingredients. Again, we look for local products when available and select certified organic choices. We feel that our quality selection offers a difference you can taste.

Produce

We understand that different customers have different needs– but everyone wants fresh, tasty and healthy food for their dinner table. That’s why our produce department offers the best possible fruits and vegetables at all times of the year.

When in season, we offer organic fruits and vegetables from producers in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. When produce is not in season, we offer organic options whenever possible. The thing most important to us is honesty– our staff and signage will help you make informed choices for you and your family.

Deli

There’s nothing like a home-cooked meal. That’s why our Deli takes so much pride in the fresh-made meal solutions we provide prepared everyday in our on-side kitchen.

Our deli specializes in scratch made meals, great for lunchtime options or easy dinner planning that you can eat in-store or o -the-go!
