Valentine’s Day is almost here, and with Seward Co-op, it won’t be *heart* to find great deals on food, gifts, and more. Whether you celebrate with a special someone, a group of friends, or treat yourself to a day of love and care, Seward Co-op is ready to help—especially with some great options from Community Foods producers that are small-scale, local, cooperative, inclusive, and sustainable.

Gifts Galore

Seward Co-op is a one-stop shop for giving with love. Give a gift that showcases your care—even if it’s self-care! From tasty candies to lovely mugs and thoughtful cards, we can help you stock up for your valentine.

Looking to give a gift from a producer that best aligns with Seward Co-op’s cooperative values? Try chocolate and candles! Enjoy choosing from all of the great flavors from Equal Exchange, a small-scale, cooperative, inclusive trader that’s one of our Community Foods producers. The Milk Chocolate Caramel Crunch bar is rich, buttery, and has just the right amount of sea salt. For dark chocolate lovers, try the delectable, bright Infused Orange. Not a chocolate fan? Sunleaf candles, another of our Community Foods producers, are a sweet gift for the senses. The candles are locally and sustainably produced, poured in glass, and have comforting fragrances, like “Orange/Ginger” and “Rosy/Geranium,” that scent your space without being overpowering.

Hearty Surf & Turf Special

“Wow” with a dinner that proves landlubbers and seadogs can be a perfect match. From Feb. 9 – Feb. 14 U.S. wild harvested scallops are on sale for $29.99/lb (regular: $32.99/lb) and Blooming Prairie Sweetheart Ribeye is on sale for $20.99/lb (regular: $24.99/lb). One of our Community Foods producers, Blooming Prairie is a small-scale, local, sustainable farm that grass feeds its cows, and raises them without growth hormones, antibiotics, or steroids.

Creamy Cheeses and Chocolatey Cakes

Indulge in rich cheeses and even richer cakes this Valentine’s Day. Crème Fraiche—heavenly atop a fruity galette—is on sale Feb. 9 through Feb. 14 for $12.99/lb (regular: $14.99/lb). Also try Fromager d’Affinois—a delightful Brie for the Valentine holiday—on sale for $13.99/lb (regular $15.99/lb) through Feb. 29. To finish, treat your sweetie with a 6” chocolate cake baked lovingly in-house by Seward Co-op staff, available in vegan and traditional, both for $19.99.
