Health Food in Minneapolis

 While spending time in Minneapolis, whether you have special dietary concerns, or just like to eat healthy, you have a world of options.  The local Co-op scene in particular is huge. There is a lot of locally-grown food available, as well as plenty of vegan, diet, gluten-free, organic, etc. options.

Seward Co-op -

This grocery store and deli is a cooperative that sells high-quality natural foods.  They have been around for almost 40 years, and focus on bringing in local produce.  It has grown from a small group of volunteers to a 13,000 sq ft store with over 8,000 members!

Ecopolitan -

This is more than just a natural foods store - they have a restaurant, a spa, a store, a health center and plenty of helpful publications.  Their shop provides raw food, medicine, kitchen tools, and supplements.  You can really find about anything you'd want there.  If you just want to grab something to go the restaurant/bar has organic, vegan food!

Wedge Community Co-op -

The Wedge Co-op is just a few years younger than Seward, and they have a similar story.  They rose from a handful of people to over 14,000 members.  They bring in a lot of organic, natural food.  They also were the first Certified Organic Retailer in the state.  They even offer educational programs for local school children on sustainable farming.
