Shop Local at the Co-op

What does local mean? At Whole Foods Co-op, we support over 150 independent vendors from Minnesota and Wisconsin, including farmers, bakers, cheesemakers, and more!

The Co-op prioritizes purchases from vendors located in the Lake Superior Bioregion. The Lake Superior Bioregion counties include Aitkin, Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Carlton, Cook, Douglas, Iron, Itasca, Koochiching, Lake, Sawyer, St. Louis, and Washburn.

*Vendors that Whole Foods Co-op purchased products from directly. Many more local brands are offered at the Co-op that are purchased through local and regional distributors.
