Suggestion Box

Q. Please get more Organic Valley Unsalted Butter.

A. It is now in stock. We order it daily. Our supply is unpredictable. 

Q. Please label which chocolate products are fair trade.

A. We will provide shelf labeling in addition to what you will find on the product labels. 

Q. Bulk olive oil in an opaque container… olive oil is damaged by light.

A. Since we go through about one container a week, we feel it is not damaged by the limited amount of sunlight that reaches the back of the store. 

Q. Only garlic available was from China.… Come on, this is not good at all. Buy local at best, domestic for the … rest.

A. That is all that is available to us at this time of year. You may get lucky and find some locally at a farmer’s market (Troy on Saturdays, or Empire State Plaza on Wednesdays). We have exhausted our local suppliers. 

Q. Consider a “quick grab” cheese/cracker/olive sampler as a lunch item. Include 3 cheeses/3 cracker types and an olive salad. Place it on a take-out container … great snack lunch.

A. Thank you for your input. We like your idea and we will seek to implement it this year. 

Q. You used to carry challah bread on Fridays. Could you please continue.

A. We have tried to get it every Friday for the past month.… We’ll keep trying. 

Q. Lighted sign on Central Avenue when you are open until 8 pm.

A. It used to light up. We will look into the issue. 

Q. Please refrigerate some root beer (for immediate consumption).

A. We will try to keep it stocked. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. 

Q. Is Baldwin Hill Spelt Bread still available? I have not seen any lately.

A. Yes it is. There is some in stock today (2/9). 

Q. New Wave now has a polycarbonate drinking bottle. 8 oz. size. Great for lunch boxes. Please order. Thank you.

A. Thank you for letting us know. We will look into it. 

Q. Not all of us buy into the low-fat hype and some of us are well informed about the dangers of soy. Yet, our only choices are low-fat or soy in the small size yogurts. The Coop needs to carry at least one line of small-size yogurt which is made from organic, whole, real milk. It is important for children to have organic, whole real food.

A. OK. 

Q. Please get unshelled sunflower seeds.

A. We have a small container of “sproutable” sunflower seeds. Is that what you want? 

Q. Please carry Nancy’s fruit-on-top yogurt. “I love them to bits.…”

A. We will try to fit more Nancy’s fruit-on-top yogurt in our limited cooler space. 

Q. Is it possible to order organic buttermilk?

A. We are trying to get Evan’s Organic Buttermilk. 

Q. Hoping you do not move to Watervliet Avenue … too desolate and dark for those of us who walk. Current location is so central to many places and is well trafficked.

A. Thank you for your suggestion. We will take it under consideration. 

Q. Please get more of the organic cotton thick tie dyed socks you had. They are good socks. I was going to get another pair.

A. They are back in stock!
