Forget Valentine’s Day, April is all about love!

Love for our locals during Tulip Time, love for our planet during Earth month (and beyond), and love for our fellow co-ops. Show your love with these new finds!

Love For Local

We love local and we mean it: we carry over 500 local brands at the Co-op! Here’s a few new favorite local brands blooming throughout the store this spring.

Pakistani Chutney & Masala Seasonings

KARACHI KITCHEN

Based in Seattle, family-owned Karachi Kitchen makes small-batch traditional chutneys and spice blends with high quality, locally-sourced ingredients. Owners, chefs, and mother-daughter duo Kausar and Sadaf Ahmed founded Karachi Kitchen with the mission to teach people about the cuisine and culture of Pakistan through food. Choose from spicy mango, tamarind & date, and tomato chutneys, and Biryani, Chaat, and Garam Masala

Locally-Roasted Coffee

ISLAND TIME COFFEE COMPANY

Sourced directly from farmers in Latin America and Indonesia and fresh-roasted in small batches on Whidbey Island, Island Time Coffee Company is dedicated to providing a local, sustainable cup of joe. Choose from 4 of their island-inspired blends: Deception Dark, Salish Orca, Ferry Line Blues, and Island Sunset French

Pierogis & Pelmeni

WEST COAST DUMPLING COMPANY

Yulia Wilson grew up eating and loving pelmeni (Russian dumplings), and now she’s brought her family recipes to the Co-op!

Hand rolled and made fresh every week with authentic, fresh ingredients, find West Coast Dumpling Company’s beef pelmeni, 4 cheese sweet potato pierogis, gouda bacon potato pierogis, and shiitake mushroom potato pierogis in the freezer section. Enjoy with sour cream and Borscht, or our lively beet salad!

Love For Co-ops

A quick brush up on your cooperative principles: Co-operative Principle #6 is Cooperation Among Cooperatives. Nothing epitomizes that principle more than our work with Equal Exchange. Whether you’re grabbing a hot cup of coffee from the Deli, or treating yourself to a bar of chocolate, you can find Equal Exchange’s products throughout the Co-op.

Palestinian Olive Oil

EQUAL EXCHANGE

Made from olives sourced from small farmers throughout the West Bank, Equal Exchange’s Palestinian olive oil is cold pressed and features a rich, peppery flavor that’s great for cooking, baking, and dipping with a piece of toasted Co-op bread. Find it near the oil and vinegar.
