Good Earth Food Co-op

Keep it local and buy products made in Minnesota. Excellent local produce, meat, and snacks. Mouth watering selection of dairy-free/egg-free scones, muffins, and cookies. Check out the lunch menu! My family always loves their fresh egg rolls, samosas, roasted potatoes, or whatever is on sale that day considering the menu varies daily. Also, they have natural cleaning products in bulk that help me keep up with the messes my three year-old makes.

They have a great selection on many things like local produce (fresh shitake mushrooms!) Although it's not as big as a larger grocer they should have what you need and the staff was very helpful and friendly. I'll be returning here soon as it's close by to my recently moved father making it pretty convenient.

I am a fan of all the local food. Finding locally roasted fair trade coffee beans and local and humanly raised meats makes my day. I am happy to spend a little more knowing my dollars stay in my community.

For those looking to make a healthy change in their life, this is definitely worth checking out. Although stores like cash wise and coborns offer an "organic" section, Good Earth is a local co-op that also offers classes and meetings where you can get to know others and learn about how to make changes all around for a better and healthier life. The Good Earth is about helping with a healthy lifestyle all around. Staff is very knowledgeable and always willing to help. They have a cafe area that offers delicious food and beverages. Where they really excel in my opinion is their bulk grain and seed section. If they don't have a certain item in stock they are willing to help try to find it for you. Be sure to check out their dairy and cheese section also, I always leave with a few pounds of delicious smoked cheese. A some noted, the prices on some items are a bit high but quality, local food will cost a bit more. Cheaper preservative loaded "food" is available at Walmart, but the flavor and quality of foods offered at Good Earth definitely make the higher price worth it. Stop in some time, you won't be disappointed!
