CB’s Nuts peanut butter
Made from just organic peanuts and sea salt, CB’s is the nut butter for peanut nuts! Their signature Creamunchy blend strikes the perfect balance, saving you from the agonizing question of “creamy or crunchy?” The only choice you need to make is whether to buy the classic sea salt or toasty dark roasted flavor.

Heavenly Hunks birthday cake hunks
You don’t need to wait for someone’s birthday to indulge in a little treat with the new flavor from this local maker. Founder Casey sold the first batches of his cookie hunks sealed in cling wrap back in 2013. Now these vegan, gluten-free bites are a co-op staple. To give back to the community, Heavenly Hunks partnered with Little Wishes in 2022 to bring their mission to Children’s Minnesota Hospital.

Honey Mama’s new flavors
The new salted almond and peanut butter cup flavors of Honey Mama’s cocoa truffle bars will have you looking for any excuse to eat dessert. At the heart of every bar are raw, simple ingredients, including honey and virgin, unrefined coconut oil. Yum! Honey Mama’s skips the preservatives, emulsifiers, and stabilizers. That’s why they have such a delectably soft, fudge-like texture. It’s also why you’ll find these raw food treats in the refrigerated section.

Lumehra laundry powders / stain remover
One of the easiest ways to cut back on plastic waste is to switch to powder-based laundry detergents, like the new line from woman-owned Lumehra. Dry detergent has the added benefit of being more compact and lightweight, leading to reduced emissions during transportation. Lumehra is plant-based and free from synthetics, palm oil, sulphates, phosphates, bleach, and dyes. For prewash treatment, check out their handy stain remover bar!
$12.99 – $13.99
Root and Splendor laundry liquid
Another woman-owned cleaning company (noticing a trend this month?), Root and Splendor prides themselves on being better for you and better for the planet. That means non-toxic and plant-based ingredients that are gentle and won’t harm the environment. Their packaging is also incredibly sustainable. The bag-in-box and bag-in-bottle designs help dramatically extend the recyclability of the packaging vs traditional, rigid plastic jugs.
$21.99
Sweet Loren’s new flavors
It can be hard to find treats that everyone can enjoy, which is why we love Sweet Loren’s cookie dough! They’re 100% vegan and gluten-free — perfect when baking for a crowd. They’re even precut, so getting a batch on the cookie sheet and into the oven couldn’t be easier. Look for the new salted caramel chocolate, chocolate chunk, and fudge brownie flavors in the refrigerated section.
$7.99
Yogourmet yogurt starter
Making your own yogurt at home is like a lesson in biology. If you’re curious to try it out yourself, you’ll need bacteria culture starter, milk, and a yogurt maker. Each box of Yogourmet contains 6 packets, enough to make 6 quarts of yogurt. Once it’s done, add your favorite fresh fruit, compote, honey, or maple syrup to create your own gut-friendly breakfast from scratch.
