Have I missed out on Living Rightly non-dairy "ice cream" or frozen dessert? They make the best almond pecan non-dairy frozen dessert. Is it gone from your freezer's shelves forever?

Living Rightly has been re-named "It's Soy Delicious." Look for it in our freezer case, including the almond pecan.

Please try to stock items without sugar. Cane sugar is used more now.

We do! However, it does seem to be a trend that many natural foods companies are starting to use unrefined cane sugar. I encourage you to call companies directly.

The cottage cheese! Postassium sorbate! Artifical color! Mono & digcycerides! Is there no source of plain cottage cheese?

We carry both Nancy's and Westby brand cottage cheeses, which are without any of the nasty things you list. They are rBGH-free as well.

Any reason why dried mangoes went up $2.00 per LB?

In the last six weeks we've gone through 3 different suppliers of mangoes. Each supplier's product is priced according to what we have to pay for it, when new crop mangoes come in, prices will probably change again.

Any way to find out the nutritional content of some of the deli items? For example, I'd like to know the protein and fat content of the TVP tacos and seitan gyros. Also, any way to have the gyros be a made to order option? They get pretty soggy after a day.

Getting accurate nutritional information about our deli food is a project we will start soon, although we're having some difficulty finding software that will do the job. We will look into making gyros to order; thanks for the suggestion.

Please get Bravo & Discover cards.

Bravo & Discover cards are privately issued and thus would require us to contract with a different processor than we already use for MasterCard/VISA. They also charge a higher rate (to us) and levy an additional fee per transaction. The bottom line is it would cost even more than the $2,500.00 per month we already pay to MasterCard/VISA.

When I bought some trail mix, I noticed that the price had gone up and so, apparently, had the raisin content. I am not against raisins and I can understand price hikes, but the two at once is unfortunate. I personally would be willing to pay a little more for fewer raisins.

When I spoke with Midwest Northern they stated the formula hadn't changed, but that there can be slight differences depending on where in the production line the case was filled. Peanut prices have risen lately.

How about a chair tucked away somewhere for nursing moms or folks who need to rest?

We do have a chair in our front-end office for people to use. Simply ask a friendly cashier or Floor Manager. We will be happy to get it for you.

Paul Boller, Operations Manager

Or if you need more privacy, come upstairs to the business office and we'll find you a chair in a more secluded spot!

Can you get in some more interesting flavors of yogurt? The dairyless is very bland and so is the organic Stoneyfield.

Why don't you carry more Brown Cow Fat-Free yogurt? i.e. lemon, peach, etc. etc.

Mostly just lack of space. When the store expands, we'll be able to expand our selection of yogurts.

Love the walnut wheat sourdough and olive bread from the New French Bakery! Thanks for the variety of breads. It's starting to remind me of Europe. Now, if you could only start baking it here, I could smell it too!

Thanks so much! Glad you can find things you like in our bread section!
