You’ll find a wide selection of locally made food and household items at the co-op. Get to know some of the local grocery vendors who fill our shelves with local love!
Artisan Naan
St. Cloud, MN
This small-scale bakery is committed to local and sustainable practices. Their dough is made using milk from Stony Creek Dairy and sunflower oil from Smude’s, two fellow co-op favorites you can find on our shelves. To keep their carbon footprint down, Artisan’s business is based on baking and delivering to order instead of relying on energy-consuming freezers.
Baker’s Field
Minneapolis, MN
Part of what makes this bakery so unique is their use of heritage sourdough yeasts that give each variety of bread a wonderfully tangy aftertaste. All of their locally sourced wheat is milled on site using time-honored methods like using hand-operated stone mills. In fact, Baker’s Field likes to boast that they’re bringing stone milling back to the Mill City!
Breadsmith
Minnetonka, MN
Breadsmith’s stores sell a bunch of beloved items like banana bread and lavosh that you can grab at our stores. They also bake a number of special items just for Lakewinds, like our trail bread. It’s a hearty, nutty dark loaf that’s got everything you need to stay full through a long day outdoors.
Heaven Gluten-Free Bakery
Minneapolis, MN
Heaven gluten-free bread is made by Polina and Vlad Lahoda, who moved to Minnesota from Ukraine in 2022. They got such great feedback from friends and family about their bread that they started their own bread bakery! Made in a gluten-free facility, their sourdough breads are made fresh following traditional methods and with the highest-quality ingredients.
One Love Bread
Deer Park, WI
The base for these organic, naturally leavened sourdough breads is simple: flour, water, and salt. A young starter gives the loaves a pleasantly mild tang with hearty wheat flavor. Look for classics like the Country Farmhouse Sourdough to seasonal varieties like the Treehugger Sourdough packed with yummy seeds.
