Please get some Wyman's wild blueberries. They're great!

I looked into this brand and I believe we'll give them a try.

Is the cranberry walnut bread baked on any certain days of the week?

Yes it is! you can purchase our cranberry walnut bread thursday through Sunday. Also, there is a schedule posted on the artisan bread case so you can see when all your favorite breads are made! Thank you for your inquiry!

I am so happy to see more meat in the What's for Supper recipes! That Gorgonzola Pork Chop recipe is fabulous! Keep up the tasty meat meals.

Glad you are enjoying the What's for Supper recipes. From now on, each month Jennette will have one recipe that is not vegetarian and one recipe that is vegan. The other two recipes will be either vegetarian or veg-friendly/adaptable. As always, all recipes will have the option of being gluten-free. We hope you continue to like them!

Why do you have everything Near East makes but the Tabouli mix? It is easily twice as good as either Fantastic Foods or Casbah's brand!

Unfortunately, our distributor doesn't carry their tabouli mix. I'll put in my own customer comment to them.

Lundberg bulk rice is organic or nutrafarmed. All the packaged products call it eco-farmed if it's not organic. Are these the same things?

"Nutra-farmed" and "eco-farmed" are both registered trade names for Lundberg Farms products that are sustainably grown, but ARE NOT ORGANIC because of some chemical use. "Eco-farmed" is replacing "nutra-farmed" on Lundberg's new packaging so during the transition time, you will see both terms on labels throughout the store.

Please stock green cardamom pods.

You are in luck! We do carry green cardamom pods. Perhaps they were hiding the day you shopped. Ask us to show you, if you'd like.

Please sell cilantro in smaller batches - impossible to use all of it and it goes to waste. Or sell it in bulk like the basil.

Thanks for your comment. It is not cost effective for us to split them/sell in bulk. We do sell clamshells of cilantro with the other herbs. To make cilantro stay fresher longer, cut the ends, put in a glass of water (like flowers) and keep in the refridgerator.

Get in more thick trunked Ficus Bonsai and Jade trees.

Thanks for your interest! The Wedge does have a couple thick trunk ficus bonsai in stock. We are not able to get the Jade trees at this time. Our greenhouse we get them from is out and will not have more until early spring at the earliest. Thanks.

Thanks for the addition of muffins that are vegan and gluten and soy free. That precludes all the most common allergens: wheat, corn, soy, milk and eggs, which people are often allergic to as a group. So you (and only you in Minneapolis) have made a muffin I can eat. Thanks!

I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying the GF vegan muffins. We've been making them with rice milk for quite some time!

Please consider getting "raw" almond butter in bulk.

We carried "raw" almond butter in bulk for quite some time, but it has been discontinued due to slow movement and space constraints. There is a packaged raw almond butter available in aisle 4.

Could you please mark the Wedge bread loafs that are packaged with a "V" if they are vegan? It would be awesome not just for vegans, but for folks keeping kosher, etc.

Thanks! I' ll look into what is possible in terms of labeling vegan Wedge brand breads as such. Until then, our entire packaged Whole Wheat and Sourdough bread lines are vegan. As well, all of our artisan breads (except our Challah) are vegan, though not certified kosher. Hope this helps!

Please make print on item stickers in a larger font. Older people have difficulty reading them.

You can request a magnifying glass at customer service to help you out. Unfortunately, there is too much information we need to include on our tags to increase the size of our fonts.

Maybe I've missed it, but in the next newsletter would you state how much spare change is collected and how much the co-op gives to local food shelves? This could be good timing since March is Food Shelf Month.

We print the entire report about donations every year in the February/March issue. The list covers all donations by and through the co-op each year.

Breadsticks. Where are you breadsticks?

We'll be back soon.

Why don't you put out Sheba bars more often? They are yummy.

Thank you for your comment! I'll be sure to let the bakers know that you'd like to see these more frequently. Please also consider giving us a call at the deli. We would be happy to put some of these bars aside for you!

I was looking at the food label on the St. Agnes Sourdough Bread and I noticed it is made with fresh yeast and no sour starter. That may seem like a small issue, but it's misleading to have bread say sourdough and not actually be made from sour starter. I don't know if that's something the Wedge could resolve, but it should be aware of the misconception.

Thanks for pointing this out. I called them - they recently had a label change and accidentally omitted "sourdough starter." They use potato, rye and wheat, but also do add a little yeast.

Please consider carrying plant food for the plants we sell.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into getting some all-natural plant food in the near future.

Could you stock the plain ginger tea like you used to in the tea aisle? The other ginger teas have too many other herbs which I'm allergic to.

If you are referring to the triple leaf ginger tea- this product was discontinued by our distributor.

I would love it if you could carry an organic molasses in glass. Plantation Molasses makes a good product. Also, maybe you could look into getting natural fruit peels (zest). Thanks.

We currently have no room, but we'll try to make some for this product.

Thanks for rearranging the fresh date table. Small bags are good. Plus, the medjools set on the left make them much easier to reach.

Thanks for the comment. We're glad you like it! The bags were a result of a previous customer comment!

Olive oil from olives grown in different locations tastes different. Please order some extra virgin olive oil from Italy. Thank you!

Have you tried our Sammarelli Olive Oil from a conglomerate in Monopoli, Italy, not far from Brindis on the Adriatic Sea?

With all the wonderful chemically free foods, could you try to get oil and other liquid bulk items in in glass jugs or any paper cartons to avoid the toxicity of plastic? Thanks.

I have not seen any bulk liquids that come in anything other than plastic. I have also looked for glass bulk dispensers for our liquid bulk section, but have not found anything good yet. Since all the products come in plastic, I'm not sure putting them in glass for a day or two would help, although I have looked into it before.

Bigger bakery items. They are good, but they are a tease and just make you want more.

Would you believe that I recently received a customer comment stating that our bakery items are too big? To meet everyone's need, we try to make a variety of sizes for our baked goods. Perhaps you'd like the mini-cookies we sell at the end of Aisle 7 (12 cookies to a container) or a Chocolate Mint Brownie from our Grab & Go case. These items not for you? Please consider asking a deli counter worker for advice, they would be happy to point out the largest, most filling desserts.
