Today- Oct 22, 2022 I went in to visit my favorite bulk items shop only to be heartbroken! They cut down on their bulk items!!!! 😞 😱 I am not a happy camper and will now need to, sadly, search for a new place for my bulk items. I like options. I always felt like a little kid in an old fashioned candy store. Until today that is. I am still in shock y’all! Changing my 5 stars to 4 though I really want to give them a 3 now. Original review 4 months ago Every single time I go into this store, I am just impressed! It’s a fairly small place but I feel it is perfectly stocked with a variety of all the basics we love & need! I especially LOVE their bulk sections! Yes, you read correctly- multiple bulk sections where you can buy as much or as little of your favorite spices, teas, coffees , grains, beans, nuts, flours & even laundry & hand soap! They’ve recently added honey & maple syrup to their bulk items and everything is priced fairly. Pre pandemic, I would buy my bulk items at Whole Foods but I made the switch and never going back!!! 😊 Check it out at least once and decide for yourself!

One of the last true family grocery stores around. They have a good selection of anything you'd want, their deli/restaurant is excellent!!

Sugar Beet Food Co-op - Your local, independent grocer | Nov 2, 2020

We have frozen duck and unfortunately we don't sell chicken livers. Thanks so much for the question, I hope this helps.

Do they allow you to bring your own containers to fill from the bulk bins? I am trying to go zero waste.

Sonia Vainrub | Nov 3, 2019
Parnell Flynn | Nov 3, 2019

You bet, it is highly encouraged and in fact they award "beet bucks" for every container and bag you use. They have a rotating set of charities that you can give the bucks to.

Is this a better place to walk to than park? Where is okay to park?

Brandon Holder | Nov 3, 2018
barb geyer | Nov 3, 2018

The problem with walking or biking is that you have to be careful not to over shop. Parking is not a problem.

Do you carry an organic fertilizer called "Dr. Earth?"

Carolyn Williams | Nov 3, 2018
Sugar Beet Food Co-op - Your local, independent grocer | Nov 3, 2018

We do currently carry their vegetable fertilizer.

what are the prices like? how many people could you give an average dinner with a 100 dollar budget?

Maggy Ahern | Nov 3, 2018
Sugar Beet Food Co-op - Your local, independent grocer | Nov 3, 2018

Kind of a tough question because it depends what we're having for dinner. I'd say 20-25 easy as long as we leave out the wine; but really what's dinner without wine? We have the best wine selection in town between $8-$11. Let's throw in $20 more for a couple of bottles ;) Good question Maggy!
