I just did price comparisons between the Wedge and Cub. I'm pleased to report that 80% of items at the Wedge are cheaper than the natural section at Cub. Thank you for being such a trustworthy place. And so much nicer to shop at, too!

We do our own price comparisons too on a regular basis. Glad you noticed. Thanks.

Palm Oil apparently destroys the orangutan habitat. Please research this and stop selling it if you can confirm this.

Our red palm oil is wild crafted. But I do appreciate the heads up.

No matter where I go in this store, it seems there is always someone behind me and it feels like they want me to go faster.

I can totally empathize- thank you for your comment. The only real suggestion I can offer is to get here either as early as possible (we open at 9am) during the week or shop as late as possible on the weekends. We seem to be slowest at those times.

Other co-op's have more varieties of (non-soy) cheeses, sour creams and (non-dairy) cream cheeses, etc... Any chance the Wedge could carry more rice/almond products? I'd much rather get them here!

We tried a few kinds of non-dairy sour creams and threw them away. We have tried a few different almond cheeses that were dicontinued by our distibution company. Most of the others use trans fats. I will look and see what's around and get some more almond products.

Never get rid of your Wedge brand valerian tablets w/passionflower and magnesium. I had gotten some similar ones somewhere else, gone through all kinds of other concoctions, but these saved my life.

Glad they work well for you! We like the Wedge private label, too- great formulations, high quality ingredients, packed in recyclable and non-reactive glass containers, at an affordable price!

I am an avid regular shopper and I am hoping that you can PLEASE, PLEASE carry a non-soy based luncheon meat. Thank You!

We are working to expand the grain meats section. It has been slow going but we are squeezing and moving products to make some more space for them. Thank you.

Thank you for stocking local (La Poblanita) tortillas. Hurray!

You're welcome!

Rice Cheese has casein in it! Looking for alternative for people who are allergic to soy and casein!

You are in luck! Someone has heard your cries! Rice Slice cheese or Galaxy Foods has just come out with a casein-free cheese. Looks like they have a couple flavors. Soon as we can get them, we'll get them. Thank you.

Can you please move the bulk peanuts to the bottom shelf? They are placed directly over "peanut-free" nut products and the likelihood of cross-contamination due to bulk bagging is very likely, making all the labeling misleading.

Generally - because of the nature of bulk - cross-contamination is unavoidable. Products in the bulk department may contain major allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, soybean products, wheat, milk, eggs, fish, shell fish. Products that do not contain them may have been exposed to products that do contain allergens. If a peanut or other allergy is of serious concern, packaged products may be a safer choice.

I would like to see a caesar hemp salad dressing on the shelf!

Unfortunately, the one hemp salad dressing that had been available to us was discontinued by our manufacturer.

Definitively- are green patches available for bags and jars I bring in to re-use, like the coffee bags, the heavy larger bags for bulk items, jars for vinegar, etc.? This was ok and now I'm told it is not. Which is it?

Cashiers are accustomed to giving them out for reusing bags, but if you ask, you can get them for reusing containers. You can receive a maximum of 5 green patches per visit. Thanks for your feedback.

Really appreciate the Andrew Weil newsletter. Please continue and never run out.

We definitely plan to continue with Dr. Weil's newsletter and I am sorry about the interruption we had in November and December. Unfortunately, they had a problem when they switched printers and this caused us to miss an issue and be delayed on another. This has been cleared up and hopefully will not be a probem in the future. Thanks so much for your feedback.

Please look for all fruit - no sugar jams- especially orange marmalade. Thanks. Other brands as well as Bionaturae.

Sorrell Ridge was discontinued by our distributor. We will be bringing in some jams of the St. Dalfor brand which are fruit juice sweetened. Please look for this product by the end of March.

I was disappointed to see the prepackaging of dates. It is wasteful and unnecessary. Please - let me do the bulk and support the environment.

Thanks for your concern. A while back, we changed to the bulk-only date display. We received an overwhelming amount of requests to package them. Most people reuse the containers and we still keep our most popular varieties available in bulk.

I was wondering if you guys could start to carry hemp seed milk. A company just came out with it. Fresh and Natural foods in Plymouth carries it. Thank you.

Hemp milk is here! Look for it in aisle 4 by our other soy and rice and other non-dairy alternatives.

Ultra-pasteurized means that it's irradiated.

Actually, this is not correct. Standard pasteurization heats milk to 161.5 degrees for 15 seconds. Ultra-pasteurized milk is heated to 280 degrees for 2 seconds.

Eco-friendly flatware? Available for retail? Also cups/bowls/plates? Thanks.

We currently have no retail pack available other than the bamboo flatware and the recycled product. We are working with the distributor of our bulk utensils to see about the possibility of retail packs in the biodegradable products.

I am upset that I can't buy canned Health Valley or the other can broth - chicken/vegetable. I will not use Shelton's - never have, never will because of their history of using glutamates. I have thrown out two big pots of soup using Imagine Broth and tasting of something gone very bad - rotten, and the expiration date was far into the future.

This is the first I've heard about glutamates in Shelton's broths. I looked up ingredients listings - and their organic broth has nothing listed (i.e. "natural" flavors) that could mean presence of glutamates. On the contrary, Health Valley does include "natural flavors" in their ingredients. Hmm... I'd suggest giving Shelton's organic broths a try.

Could you carry any Hempini Grand Hemp nut butter?

Unfortunately, I can find no information about this brand. We do carry hemp seed butter in the refrigerated case by the other butters.

You used to carry the Guayaki line of yerba in both yellow and green packaging. I had purchased the green kind and really liked it. Can you carrry it again or suggest the closest brand to it you do carry? Thanks.

This product simply changed packaging. It is now a rather brown package.

Customer would like the Wedge to carry Suzie's Organic Regular saltine crackers.

No room currently. We'll put this on our new product wish list for future contemplation.

"Soy Deli" has a tofu called "Hawaiian Style." It is plain unseasoned already-cooked tofu. North Country sells it, it is great. An amazing replacement for the "House Tofu Steaks" you used to carry.

We are working on making a spot for the Soy Deli Hawaiian Style. You can look for it in the dairy case soon!

Would you consider (please, please) Greek Goddess yogurt. It is sugar free and really delicious. Thanks.

Thanks for writing. If you're talking about Greek Gods yogurt, we do have access to it and can special order a case, but for now, space being tight and the greek Fage line selling so well, we're holding off bringing it in.

A customer says: would it be possible to have a salad bar?

Unfortunately, we don't have enough space in the store right now to offer a salad bar. The closest we come is the selection of green salads and dressings that we offer in the Grab & Go case to the left of the deli counter.

I was told that you no longer carry medium eggs in bulk because they didn't sell as well as the extra large. Would it be possible to just order a smaller quantity of the medium eggs? The extra large are too large! Thanks.

It's not a matter of quantity as much as it is an issue of space. In regards to medium bulk eggs, we simply cannot store all the eggs we currently offer. We had to create space and the slow seller had to go. You can still get medium eggs. Harmony Organics have mediums we carry. They are prepackaged, but they are really, really good! Thank you!
