People's is a beacon of light in La Crosse, WI. It's a medium sized co-op off of King and 5th, with…read moreminimal parking to the side of the building, but extra parking behind the building near the bank. Be careful though, there are signs that designate certain parking spots for bank customers only. On the outside, it's not overly impressive but as always, it's what's on the inside that counts. When you walk in, the fresh produce (local if available, organic and conventional options all abound) is the first thing you see. Nestled inside of the produce department is a generous salad bar, where you can build your own salad from a serious array of veggies, proteins and toppings for about $6 a pound. Not a bad deal if you're on the run or at the store and don't feel like cooking tonight! There's also an aisle solely dedicated to bulk foods, and their selection is completely impressive. Take a stroll down that aisle before settling on anything pre-boxed or pre-bagged. Make sure you take one of their provided stickers and write the PLU (provided on the dispensing canisters) on the bag for the person at the check out! They've got your standard fare (cereals, canned items, household cleaning items), but with an eye to what's organic, local, environmentally friendly etc. Their meat and dairy department is amazing, and you can pick up farm fresh eggs that are locally grown and harvested for just under $4 a dozen. I purchased some ground beef that was locally raised and grass fed, and it was exceptional. There's a fantastic deli department with pre-made items, a bakery that can definitely get you in trouble, and a wine and beer aisle with a cold side if you're in a hurry. There's even a section for essential oils and charcoal soaps and things of that nature. The best part is, you don't need to be a member to shop here. Membership is encouraged at about $100 or so a year, and you get special savings that way. I recommend the co-op to everyone I come across!

No 1 I save gas at kwik trip/star. No. 2 this place has the one item that I will drive 100 miles for, great customer service. Every staff member I came in contact with was smiling and asking if there was anything they could help me find and yes there was, Sushi! I love sushi and they have lots of it. My pedometer said I walked over 2 miles covering the whole store. They have everything I wanted. They are a little high priced on some items for what you get, although I found the quality worth the price. Wal-Mart has a lot of the same items and if you read the labels like I do you will discover that the price per is no different than Festival Foods. At Wal Mart it's the hidden price you have to look for. At Festival Foods You don't have to look, it's right there in fromt of you. The best thing is that all the items I bought cost me $11.00 less than they would have at Wal Mart. Plus I saved money on gas at kwik trip. Now tell me all you naysayers, What's not to like about Festival Foods. Now if I had 5 thumbs they would be all up for this place. Thank you for being my kind of super friendly place to shop.

A quick search led us to the co-op. Their website has the daily menu posted which was extremely helpful (and tantalizing!) Their hours were reasonable given the season and the options plentiful. Both days of chilly, cold climbing ended with trips to the co-op for fresh organic veggies, fruit, as well as chocolate and snacks. But also with a HOT MEAL which was so appreciated by us. We took everything to our hotel room and feasted. Everything was delicious and the staff was so friendly and wonderful. The kitchen space (which was open and visible) was clean, organized and smelled great. The soups were awesome also and the leftovers from the day prior were available to take home and heat (so we were able to try one we thought we missed from the day prior - lucky us!) We enjoyed everything and love the prepackaged salads and desserts as well as the mains. The whole place was easy to navigate and had wonderful options. We know we have a good option for healthy, organic, and plant-based food during our next visit to Winona to climb which we are already looking forward to. Kudos to the staff of this co-op and to the community for supporting such a wonderful establishment. Winona is an impressive little community that should continue to support the outdoor activities year round it can host. We were glad to bring our dollars and our business to the community thanks to the folks running the ice climbing park and this awesome co-op.
