Welcome to spring! At Seward Co-op, we are very proud of our Bulk foods department. Bulk has been a keystone of the co-op from its earliest days, and it continues to be one of our greatest successes.

Whether shopping in bulk is a new prospect or you’ve been shopping bulk exclusively for decades, we have a rare treat for you: a 10-percent-off sale on all bulk items on May 1! All day — for one day only — everything in the Bulk department (even including sale items) is 10 percent off.

Please join us Wednesday, May 1, in the Bulk department, where extra staff and product vendors will be on hand to answer questions and assist you in shopping the best way possible — in bulk!

Throughout the day, enjoy samples of bulk products like May Day trail mix, Barsey’s almonds and Rishi chai. Also, visit with a handful of our suppliers, including: Peace Coffee, Equal Exchange and local grain producer, Whole Grain Milling.

(The May 1 bulk sale does not include: reusable glass and plastic containers; items sold per pound in other departments, such as Produce; and Wellness soaps/shampoos.)
