I remind myself when shopping at the Wedge Co-op that I am paying to create and sustain the kind of world in which I want to live. If like my food to be fresh, as local as possible, and I want to feel like someone has supported, vetted, and vouches for the producers.

The Wedge does that for me.

Sure it's more expensive than chain grocery stores, which are filled, aside from conventional produce, with artificially cheap processed food if little interest to me.

Additionally, I love that the Wedge owns the Midwest distribution system for Co-op Partners Warehouse, which increases the market for local, sustainable producers.
