Customer Comments
How about a taste test for different soymilks?
Great idea - I'll suggest it to the sampling saint!
You sell Soyco Foods Rice Cheese Slices - could you also carry block rice cheese?
We are going to give the cheddar and mozzarella chunk cheese from Soyco a chance. You can look for them in the near future.
Can we carry hard red berries here? They are used to make wheat sprouts. Mississippi Market has them, but I like the Wedge better - I would rather come here.
We do carry hard red wheat berries for sprouting. Someone at the Customer Service Desk will be happy to help you find them.
I know it would be a bit pricey - but could you get the Flott brand tuna in the glass jars? I'm willing to pay more to try it, I think it would have great flavor.
Hmmm. I think we could give it a try. Look for it by the end of the month.
Can you get organic coconut, please? Otherwise, you guys are great!
Yes, we will replace our current coconut with organic within a few weeks. Thanks for the suggestion.
How about recyclable deli containers?
Thanks. I have already set up a meeting with our packaging supplier to look into this issue. We will keep you appraised.
Thanks for Fair Trade bananas!
Thank you for your comment. We now have Fair Trade mangoes as well. Pineapple may be next.
Can we get eco-friendly bakery boxes (craft boxes?) for deli cookies, etc.? Maybe with a Wedge sticker (for giving cookies as gifts)?
We will look into eco-friendly cake boxes; however, we need them to be durable. The sticker is a good idea also - we'll see what is available. Thanks!
Bring back the large Ford Hook Lima Beans, please. The butter beans are not the same.
There is not currently an organic lima bean available from our distributors. The large Ford Hook lima beans were discontinued by Pictsweet, the packager. I am looking for a replacement lima bean.
I love your brownies but unfortunately they've got nuts in them so I never get them.
The non-nut brownies are a great idea. Be looking for them soon!
Take a photo of your guy who gives away samples, the one w/the hat and put him on front of Wedge magazine.
Palmer is terrific. We're working on cloning him. The newsletter doesn't print up photos too well - but we'll consider it.
Wow interesting hair Do's at your place.
Thanks for your comment. I'm hoping it's better than having "hair don'ts".
Tips from meat department greatly appreciated re: George Foreman Grill. i.e. wait 10 min. after grilling - turn drip pan upside down and & use to prop grill for more tender meat. Thanks guys
Thank you so much! It's really great when our staff can share personal experiences that benefit our customers.
Is it possible to get chocolate skim milk?
At this time, the Organic Valley Chocolate milk is the closest to a skim chocolate milk we can get. It is a lowfat 2% milk.
I really like the Pom brand pomegranate juices I have found at other grocers and am curious if the Wedge would carry Pom or an organic alternative.
I'm trying to track down a supplier - in the meantime, there is no organic pomegranate juice available. We do currently stock the Knudsen brand pure pomegranate juice.
Thanks for the newsletter cover article, "What is Natural Food?" Recently I read an article in a family magazine that called childhood diabetes "common." Imagine, a disease like this which could be prevented by a whole foods diet is acceptable. The reminder that junk food is still junk food (especially kids cereals and snacks) even when trendy is so important.
Glad you got the "Ginger People" Ginger Chews. The person who suggested them certainly hit the nail on the head Excellente!!! I hope that you will be able to continue to carry these delights!!!
