Crow Wing Food Co-Op

Just passing thru & stopped here. Very clean store with personable staff. Enjoyed an awesome breakfast panini and coffee.

I happened to read some of the reviews here today, and tho most are very positive, there are a couple that I do not agree with. One says that they were treated rudely when entering the premises. I have been a customer for several years and have never, ever been disrespected in any way. I find them to be friendly and extremely helpful. I shopped at the Co-op for over a year before I became a member and was never belittled to feel like I wasn't welcome if I were not a member. I like being a member because I like the benefits that come with membership.

As far as getting bad vegetables, it is your responsibility to check the produce. If you find something that is over ripe, take it to an employee and let them know. They get their trucks in once a week and if, for instance, avocados don't sell as quickly as expected, some may be overripe. Take it to a worker! They will check the produce section. It's not a big deal. They don't always have a steady stream of customers every day all day long to keep it moving. Thanks for letting me say my piece! For you folks who were unhappy with the service, please give it another chance, and go in with a smile; I'm sure you'll get one back!!

Amazing selection of quality food that you can't find anywhere else. Great customer service and calls you back if they're not able to get to you right away.

5 stars!! The coop has a great selection of unique items you can’t find anywhere else, as well as a delicious deli that serves up great breakfast, lunch, and smoothies! But the real reason I keep coming back is the staff. The friendliest and most welcoming people you will ever meet are found at the crow wing food coop. Seriously there isn’t a bad seed in the whole bunch. They make grocery shopping enjoyable!

Make sure you head to their new location 624 laurel street.

They have lots of good quality meat. A great bulk/zero waste section. Bulk Peace coffee. A small produce section. Things are expensive, but you are paying for high quality things.

There is a deli, check out their Instagram for daily updates on specials.

Great place to go if you have a sensitivity to foods containing gluten or just prefer natural food source. Also if you prefer to get your food from local distributors. Crow Wing Food Co-Op supplies products from folks in our very community and that's important to me. I like knowing g that I'm supporting my community and area farmers. The meat comes from animals that are grass fed and that's also important to me as well. Everything is organic and they are willing to answer any questions you have. The employees are friendly and treat you like family the minute you enter the door. They even accept EBT for low income households on a budget so that's huge. I know a lot of families with children on a special diet with gluten sensitivities who can barely afford the diet changes needed for one child plus the regular diet of the rest of their family. I highly recommend Crow Wing Food Co-Op for all your needs. Food, vitamins, detergents etc. I love this store and the people inside.

I visited this place for a project I was doing about locally grown foods, this place had stuff from a thirty mile radius up to a 100 mile radius. And the people there seemed to know what they were talking about, and seemed to really care for what they were buying and how it got from point A to point B. If anyone like honestly needs fresh fruits or anything this is the place to go, the people were great, the store was a little cramped but, that's ok. For the amount of stuff they have it's really amazing.

Awesome! Not something I expected to find in Brainerd, but I was very happy to find it. Picked up fair trade coffee, vegan marshmallows, Oatly barista blend oat milk, and a few other goodies. They had a decent selection of bulk goods too.

Great store, found Maine Root products which have the best ginger beer ever! Can't wait to see how this store grows!

Wonderful Co-op. You do not have to belong to the co-op to shop here. Knowledgeable staff and always friendly customers! They have fresh early spring asparagus right now!

So glad Brainerd has a co-op. I go once a week for organic veggies. Every one is very friendly and they have a good variety of natural products/foods.

A small, locally owned, food coop with really kind people. Lots of organic and allegen free choices, fresh local produce and meats

Went here to order some smoked salt for my specific diet, and they were OUT... but to my luck they have an amazing staff and they ordered it immediately, very very happy with my purchase and decision to stop in. Thank You

They carry some great local beef and local produce, as well as a good selection of bulk spices and foods. An amazing little Co-op with helpful staff!

Prices are a bit high. The friendliest staff ever. Love the soups, breads, veggies and fresh milk. Everything is good.

Very cute new location!! It’s much bigger and nicer than the older place! I hope to see it grow even more!

What a great place to pick up coffee and ingredients for a bagel lunch on our way to the lake. “May the forks be strong with him!”

Great little store! They're moving soon, and need our support, be sure to send some love their way!

Go here everyday I am in Brainerd. I love the grab and go stuff. People are amazing and friendly. Food is always fresh.

This is a small storefront, no matter, they have everything you need. Some of the produce is local, a plus. Great bulk selection.
