Growing Gardeners
There are many advantages to having little ones join you in the garden. The whole family can be involved in the entire process, from choosing seeds and starter plants to weeding, watering, harvesting, preserving, and, finally, eating.
A Note from the Board
The Viroqua Food Co-op is many things. As the only independent grocery store in our town, we are a cornerstone of the community. We are a place to greet your neighbors and meet new friends, and a place that connects local growers and producers to shoppers who buy their goods. We are a grocery store, but so much more.

Cold Weather, Warm Hearts
"The Viroqua Food Co-op is at the heart of our community, making everyday life a little bit simpler."
Pump up the Jam and Cheese
In the tradition of foods that hit that harmonious spot between sweet and salty comes an idea so easy, so elegant, yet based on two staples most Americans have on hand: cheese and jam. This may sound like an unlikely duet, but after you sample a few of these pairings you might just change your tune.

For hosts, teachers, neighbors, family and friends–the co-op has something special for everyone on your list.
Homemade Stock
As the weather turns colder and holiday meals fill our kitchens with rich aromas, there's no better time to talk about one of the most essential, and underrated, ingredients in any cook's toolkit: stock.
Bird-Friendly and Beautiful
Decorate outdoors with garlands and ornaments that are fun to make and provide a nourishing snack for birds. The ingredients are all natural and packed with the calories, fats, and nutrients to support winter survival.
