new products in eastside bulk

 

New Things To Try In The Eastside Bulk Department

With summer upon us, it is great to have some healthy easy things to bring with you camping or to picnics. Perfect for hikes or a quick refreshing drink, Organic Powdered Lemonade Mix is now available in the bulk spice area. When in the bulk spices, also look for other new items like Sichuan Peppercorns and Organic Powdered Stevia.

In additional to the whole stevia leaf, this new powdered form is great for dissolving in coffee, tea, or other drinks. While stevia and lemonade can help with your sweet cravings, Sichuan Peppercorns are great for spicing things up. Different than the heat associated with chili peppers, Sichuan Peppercorns are important ingredients in Sichuan Hot Pot dishes and Ma Po Tofu and are famous for giving eaters a pleasant numbing spiciness (called ‘ma la’ in Chinese). So whether you like it spicy of sweet, we have what you need. Happy eatings and stay tuned for more new and exciting products in the Bulk Department.

Biscuits & Gravy Take a Summer Vacation

The Deli has been flattered by the comments we get about the Sunday Gluten Free Biscuits and Gravy. As we enter summer, these hearty foods must migrate to their chilly natural habitats to hibernate and wait for the blustery weather of autumn. When that time arrives, they will return to nourish our hungry customers.

In the meantime, Gluten Free Gravy will still be available to buy in the freezer aisle.

Thank you for choosing to eat and shop at the Olympia Food Co-op

salad bar price change announcement

SALAD BAR PRICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Starting January 2019, The Olympia Food Co-op will increase the price of our salad bar to $7.99 per pound for both hot and cold food. Sandwiches and coffee will remain the same price.

We have been able to keep the soup and salad bar price at $6.99 per pound since 2014. The rising costs of packaging, equipment, repairs, labor, and our desires for expansion combine to make this price increase necessary.

We put our heart and soul into preparing healthy, fresh, handmade, and delicious organic food for our valued members and customers. We thank you for shopping here and eating the food we make. Your support and warmth give us the nourishment we need to make the food that we hope, in turn, nourishes you.

Sincerely,
The Olympia Food Co-op Deli
