Valley Natural Foods

I really like this spot in terms of Co Ops because they carry some unique items not found at other locations and they also have a very good soup/hot bar set up. The one thing that just shocks me not only here but at Whole Foods and at other Co Ops is how insanely unhealthy the sushi is. One of the basic rolls had 270 calories and 16 grams of sugar!! That is an absolutely out of control amount of sugar for a sushi roll. I think co ops need to start focusing more on offering healthy food that’s actually healthy. Not dousing seemingly healthy foods with comical amounts of sugar and inflammatory seed oils.
Having said that, Apart from some of the products they carry this place is a fantastic staple for the neighborhood as you’re starting to get outside the big cities and into the food deserts that plague rural America.
One update is that they use BPA free receipts which is a huge plus! That’s hard to find these days

I just discovered this place and love it! If you buy stuff on special/with member discount I think it's on par with organic offerings at larger stores (and so much easier to shop in a smaller location). Also my cashier was super friendly and helpful with my questions. I will definitely be back!
