Tofu Scrambler was discontinued by Fantastic Foods, but due to customer out-cry, it will be coming back. As soon as it is in distribution, we will carry it again!

Unfortunately, this decision is out of our hands. Gerolsteiner is no longer available in glass bottles.

The niacin content of Wonder Bread is 8%. In our selection of breads, here are few in your range of interest: French Meadow: Healthy Hemp = 8% (one slice), Women's = 9% (one slice), Men's = 25% (one slice), Sprouted = 10% (one slice), Brown Rice = 10% (one slice). Organic Mills: Dakota = 8%. All of the Loaves and Fishes breads = 8%. Natural Ovens: Whole Grain & Flax =15 %, 100% Whole Wheat = 15%. Arnolds (Brownberry): Natural Wheat = 10%. Hope this helps!

We would love to open earlier. The reason we don't has a lot to do with our neighbors. Because we sit among apartments and houses, we are limited by city ordinance to certain hours of operation and we do not let trucks into our parking lot to deliver product until 6am. Our employees need time to get the product from the truck to the shelves. Even three hours is really pushing it.

We consider the tri-state area of Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota as local.

Relative to other companies, Organic Valley is not big. They are also a co-op, not a company in the same way Heinz or Tyson are companies. And, many of the farms are located here in Minnesota or right next door in Wisconsin. We carry a "local" egg in bulk because our size demands we carry a larger quantity. We buy more eggs from Larry Schultz and Harmony Organics than most anyone. For example, we buy 99% of the eggs Harmony Organics produces. They have difficulties keeping us in eggs, so we use a larger co-op (Organic Valley) to make sure we have some eggs all the time.

Due to their high price and intermittent availability, we will not stock black walnuts. However, if you would like to special order them they are available in a 5 lb. case.
