Just in time for spring cleaning! These mops, brooms, dusters and buckets are made from recycled materials in the USA. And they are economical! The pole is designed to work with all of the eclipse heads and the microfiber cloths are washable for repeated use.

Our newest line of eco-friendly, insulated lunch totes are so fabulous no one will guess you are “brown bagging it” for lunch!

There’s even a Man’s Lunch offering for the guys. Lunch never looked more appealing!

Looking for a last-minute party treat? Stop by the deli counter and pick up one of our heat-and-serve dip options! Baked artichoke dip or delicious asiago cheese dip are terrific with crackers, bread, veggies, or anything you like. The roasted onion dip will elevate your chips to new heights.

These refreshing beverages bill themselves as “the world’s first adult soft drinks,” and since they’re based on original recipes that were first used by Thomas Fentiman in 1905, we suppose they’re right! And right now, you can order a Fentiman’s ice cream float at the deli counter—a fantastic (somewhat) grown-up summertime treat.

The Ginger Beer, Curiosity Cola, and Victorian Lemonade are hits with the co-op’s staff already—try the Dandelion and Burdock, Shandy or Tonic Water for a refreshing change of pace. Sold in four-packs or singles in the deli aisle.

We’ve carried Lucini’s excellent olive oil and outstanding pasta sauce for a while now, so it was an easy choice to add this line of vinagrette salad dressings. Lucini Italia uses all natural ingredients to create their Tuscan Balsamic & Extra Virgin Vinagrette; Fig and Walnut Savory Balsamic; Bold Parmesan and Garlic and other flavors. Here’s a great recipe for a Shrimp Caesar Salad using their Parmesan and Garlic dressing—mangia!

Meg Lunos came in a little while ago with her new (and BLUE) pottery. Besides her lovely, functional bowls and mugs, she brought us some beautiful European style butter bells (you put the butter in a little well in the lid and water in the bottom half—it keeps your room-temperature butter sealed away from the air and fresh).

We’ll admit—we’re biased towards Meg Lunos’s graphically sophisticated and highly functional mugs, bowls and trays. Before Meg started Meghan Elizabeth Pottery, she once worked at Linden Hills Co-op as part of our customer service team!
