New & Notable: Summer 2023

Summertime Snacking

Whether it’s a road trip, a picnic on the river, or an outdoor concert, all your summer adventures require snacky fuel! Lucky for you, the Co-op has all the chips, dips, jerky, dried fruit, and other salty-crunchies to feed your snacky cravings, wherever and whenever they arise! Here’s a few new-to-us snacks you’re sure to love.

Farmstand Ranch & Parmesan Garlic Potato Chips

Kettle Brand

Your favorite chips, in new flavors! Farmstand Ranch has that classic zesty, herby ranch flavor that would go well with our caramelized onion dip! Parmesan Garlic is bold and reminiscent of a big fluffy slice of garlic bread. Find them on our snack aisle with our other Kettle Brand chips.

Organic Dried Honeycrisp Apples

Sauk Farm

Made from 100% organic Honeycrisp apples grown, picked, and dried in Concrete, Sauk Farm’s dried apples are free of preservatives and added sugar. Not only are they great on the go, but they’d add a wonderful bit of chewy-fruitiness to any summery cheese plate! Find them in our Produce Department.

Seaweed Snacks

Nora Seaweed

Nora was created for one simple reason: the founders were tired of importing seaweed snacks from Thailand, Korea, Japan, and China. So, they decided to make their own, and share them with us! Crunchy, salty, umami, and perfect for all on-the-go activities, choose from original tempura and spicy tempura, available in the snack aisle!

Summer, Spice & Everything Nice!

Warm summer, cold drinks, spicy food! Kick up the spice with brand new hot sauce flavors, wrap it up with a handmade tortilla, and wash it down with a cool-cool beverage.

Chile Librae & Seeing Stars Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce

Funky’s Hot Sauce

Handmade in Bellingham out of locally-sourced organic peppers, Funky’s prides itself on creating great tasting, well balanced sauces that offer more than just a spicy kick, but a mouthful of flavor, too.

We’re excited to add two of their brand-new sauces to our shelves! Find their Chile Librae and Seeing Stars hot sauce flavors in our Meat Department. The latter “is kinda like a really tasty meteor shower in your mouth” and winner of the 2022 SCREAMING MIMI Reaper sauce category.

Burrito-Sized Flour Tortillas

Patty Pan Cooperative

And what’s hot sauce without something to douse it all over? New from worker-owned Patty Pan Cooperative are their burrito-sized flour tortillas! Whether you go for a burrito or a quesadilla, don’t forget the Funky’s! Find them in the cooler in the Produce Department.

Tea Time

Cold kombucha tea for sunny days, herbal hot tea for rainy PNW summer nights! It’s always time for tea, even in the middle of summer. We’re excited to bring in new flavors from two of our favorite tea brands: Shen Zen Kombucha (Seattle!) and Yogi Tea.

Blueberry & Elderberry Mule Kombucha

Shen Zen Kombucha

Made in Seattle by biogeochemist and Master Brewer James Chang, we originally brought in Shen Zen kombucha two summers ago. Unlike most kombucha, Shen Zen is brewed with lemongrass tea, resulting in a smooth, refreshing sparkling beverage that’s naturally caffeine free. Try their new blueberry or elderberry mule kombucha, available in our Deli drink cooler!

Herbal Teas

Yogi Tea

Cozy up on a rainy PNW summer day with new herbal teas from Yogi! Try Peach Bergamot Bright Day for those early mornings, Spiced Blackberry Focus for those days at the office (when you’d rather be outside), and Honey Lemon Throat Comfort if a cold comes on! Find them on the Tea & Coffee aisle.

Happy Baby, Happy Mama

Whether you’re a mama on the lookout for the very best baby care essentials or know someone expecting a new little in their life, we’re pleased to bring in new products that you (and they) can trust.

Earth Conscious Diapers & Training Pants

Honest Company

Using less material than traditional diapers, Honest Co. saves over 7,000 trees in a single year with their most earth conscious design yet. But less material doesn’t mean a bigger mess – their advanced leak protection design will keep baby dry. Find them across from the adult TP.

Plastic-Free Baby Wipes

Waterful

100% biodegradable, 100% plastic free, and made from 99.9% purified water, Waterful baby wipes are the future! Approved by the Skin Health Alliance, accepted by the National Eczema Association, and Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free, Waterful wipes are fragrance free, but a hint of natural grapefruit extract is added to keep things fresh. Right by the diapers.
