• Politically Delicious: Our products align with values that make the world a better place.

🚫 GMO? Oh, No! No shady ingredients here! We're steering clear of GMO high-risk items like alfalfa, canola, corn, cotton, soy, or sugar beets. Unless, of course, they're Non-GMO Project superheroes or can prove they've got their GMO-free capes on!

So, come on down to The Food Co-op, where every bite is a celebration, and every choice is a step towards a healthier, happier community! 🌮✨
