Huxley Superfruit Energy Drink

Minneapolis, MN

Each flavor of this energy drink is named for a popular national park. That’s fitting, because 1% of all revenue is donated to the National Parks Conservancy Association. Huxley’s dedication doesn’t end there: They also donate to 1% for the Planet and upcycle cascara fruit for their main ingredient. This tasty ingredient is the discarded husk of coffee beans.

K-Mama

Minneapolis, MN

Founder K.C. Kye concocted this “everything” sauce based on recipes from his Korean mother’s cooking. The tantalizing blend of buttery sweetness and fiery kick goes great on Korean fare but also adds depth and flavor to eggs, pizza, tacos, even fruit! K-Mama donates a portion of all profits to nonprofits fighting hunger and homelessness.

Larry Schultz Organic Eggs

Owatonna, MN

Larry is a staple in the local organic food world. For over 20 years he’s been providing organic eggs to restaurants and co-ops across the state. Even before Larry’s time, the Schultz family farm was chemical-free. When herbicides and pesticides became common in the 50s, Larry’s parents refused to adopt them. All the chickens at Larry Schultz’s farm are given full, unrestricted access to the outdoors. This naturally stress-free lifestyle leads to happier, healthier birds.

Maazah Aioli and Chutney

In Farsi, maazah means flavor, which only begins to describe the wonderful condiments from this local, woman-owned business. Derived from their Afghani family recipes, Maazah aioli and chutney are versatile, vegan-friendly sauces that go well with just about anything. Use the aioli in place of mayo to add an herby, citrusy zest to potato salad or sandwiches. The chutney is the perfect everything sauce because it tastes great on just about anything, from eggs to pizza to grilled meats and veggies and more.

MinnTofu

Spring Lake Park, MN

For all the soy beans grown in Minnesota, it’s a wonder it took so long for someone to start making local tofu. Founder Yan Small started MinnTofu in 2018 after discovering that there were no sources for fresh, local tofu. MinnTofu sources all of their ingredients directly from local organic farms.

Peace Coffee

Minneapolis, MN

Organic, fair trade, and locally roasted, Peace Coffee has been a Minneapolis favorite for over 20 years. If you live in the area you may see one of their delivery bikes cruising around town, dropping off coffee to local shops and restaurants.
