Could you please check on pumpkin seed oil?

We will be picking up the Rapunzel brand pumpkin seed oil to answer your request. Look for it by mid-December.

We'd print the chart, but between the time we print and mail At the Wedge, chances are good that it would be already out of date. Companies gobble each other up at an amazing rate.

A customer expressed intrigue concerning the use of high fructose corn syrup in the glaze in the custard-filled Blood Orange pastry. Perhaps we could avoid using this questionable ingredient?

Sorry, we do not use high fructose corn syrup. That was a label misprint on the danish. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!

Bring back the Tempeh Pasta in the deli please!

We've taken Tempeh Pasta off our rotation to make way for seasonal items. Look for it to return this spring!

I miss the herb, olive and sun-dried tomato focaccias that I used to buy here. I have not seen them in a while. Will they ever return?

Sorry! We found that more plain focaccias sold than ones with toppings. We do still make the herb focaccia, and you can always special order focaccia with a topping from the Bakehouse.

Fantastic Tofu Scrambler - when will it be available again?

Fantastic Foods has discontinued the Tofu Scrambler. At this point we have not found a replacement product.

Amore Mimosa Sparkling drink. It was so good - can we get some more?

The original Amore drinks were victim of a recipe change. Due of this - and the new Amore's low sales - this line has been discontinued.

What is your position on carrying products that contain MSG? It appears that some of your soups may have it listed under a different name. Thank you.

Our "policy" is that we do carry products with "autolyzed yeast extract" and other "natural flavorings" which may include naturally occuring MSG. Unfortunately, in the same way that we would be unable to monitor a diabetic's purchases of products with sugar on the label as an ingredient, I'm afraid it's up to the consumer to choose whether or not these products would be appropriate for their personal use. For every person who would love to not see these products on our shelves, there are hundreds who would roar at their removal. "Caveat emptor."

Please, please, please, please can you guys make an order for goat milk ice cream? Even if it's just one case a month! I'll buy 'em all.

Your suggestions worked! Goat milk ice cream coming to our shelves within the next few weeks. Keep an eye out for it!

Is Sonny's still making the Ahana line of ice cream anymore? If so, can we carry it again - the ginger one is awesome!

Thank you for your inquiry! Sonny's still makes the line - just with reduced flavors: Toasted Coconut and Ginger. We stock both of these. If you can't find it when you are in the store, just ask an employee for help!

Please run your sales from the beginning of the month to the end. The other coops do it that way and it is less confusing.

Actually, not all coops follow the solar calendar. We choose to change endcaps on Wednesdays because operationally, it fits in best with both store and customer needs. It would be impossible to bring in a huge order on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Mondays due to heavy customer traffic in the store. Since sales changes on Wednesdays at our distributor (UNFI), we have chosen that as our beginning day. We've been doing this for over 10 years now and we do place sale dates on each and every sign. Hope that helps.

Why do you carry sweets in your bulk section that have partially hydrogenated oils in them?

I would prefer not to! I tried to discontinue some in the past but the quality of the non-hydrogenated ones must by way lower. The reason I say that is because I received customer complaints asking me to bring back the hydrogenated oil candy - so many that I had to bring them back!
