Grocery Department

Take a stroll through the packaged grocery aisles, and you'll find we are a full service grocer. While our main focus is on organic and natural foods, we also try to fill some of the niche areas. You'll find quality ethnic and specialty foods, as well as the diced tomatoes you need for everyday cooking. Our goal is to meet average, basic needs as well as to provide for those with special needs and diets as well.

WFC strives to bring you the best tasting, organic, good for you food snacks and beverages. Local, certified organic food products will always be supported by WFC. Local suppliers' products will be identified from other items we carry; look for the "Local" stamp of approval. WFC carries many products for persons with food allergies and special diets. Wheat free, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan are all diets that require special ingredients , and we try to carry as many of these things as possible while still providing options for every customer.

Grocery/Packaged Food Policy:

WFC will aim for a goal of 90% non-hydrogenated oils/fats in packaged foods containing oils, and labels will be placed on packaged items that "contain hydrogenated oils". A statement will be posted with information on the health effects of hydrogenated oils. Items free of hydrogenated oils will be offered as soon as available, with continuing research until the 90% goal is reached. WFC will carry no artificial sweeteners (Nutra-sweet, etc.) or products that contain artificial sweeteners, and will aim for a goal of 90% non-refined sugar products among sweetened packaged products. Simple natural sugars will continue to be provided (honey, maple syrup, Sucanat, molasses, rice and barley syrups, etc.). Information will be available on the health effects of refined sugar. Labels will be placed on items that "contain refined sugar." WFC will remain responsive to other nutritional concerns as they become known and will update the purchasing policies to reflect these developments, always aiming to provide only the best and most nutritious foods. The purchasing policies will be consistent with the food policy statement, and items which meet policy guidelines will be given a reasonable amount of time, exposure and patron education before being discontinued. Local certified organic foods and produce will always be supported and WFC will actively seek out and encourage local suppliers. Local suppliers will be identified and their growing/production practices described. All such products will be identified by the names of the growers/producers.

Non-Food Items Policy:

It is our goal to offer non-toxic and non-perfumed products. Non-toxic and non-perfumed items are to be preferred. Biodegradable and non-perfumed cleaning products will also be preferred, with increasing emphasis on natural, non-toxic cleaners.
