Local & Regional Products List

**Updated 4/12/24**
Recent weather has teased us with warmer temps and sunshine, which only makes us more excited for another local growing season! Even though we’re about a month away from asparagus we can still enjoy lots of local produce while we wait. Products including apples & pears, fresh mushrooms, lettuce, microgreens, potatoes, sweet potatoes and tomatoes are all available at our stores from local growers right now.

We may not have all produce items available to us locally year round, but these crops, offered in what’s called the “shoulder season”, can be a huge help to growers in getting through the slower winter months.

Hang in there, May is on the horizon!

New/Returning Items:

• Pete’s Greens (organic) – Clean Big Carrots
• Talking Well Farm – Oriental lilies, limited availability

Watch Out For

• Generation Farm early season organic spinach should be in stores next week until Killdeer farm is ready, and their mixed greens are likely two weeks out!
• Improved availability on Oriental lilies from Talking Well Farm!
• MacLennan Farm Asparagus expected in May!

What Local Means to Us

Long before "local" was incorporated into the positioning statement of every giant discount megastore, it was a cornerstone to the work of food cooperatives.

Like the organic and green movements, the local movement had an early champion in food co-ops, who for decades have been touting the need to preserve networks of small family farms and independent food producers.
