Because I call myself ChristoPagan I am not even being given the time of day. I was subject to criticism scrutiny and rejection without any provocation. I was not "tested" to see if I can actually do an accurate reading just grilled on what I believe. I do not proselytize at people; I am not a "fundamentalist;" I do not support Trump! etc. Not only that, but a reader who has been working there for years that I know very well who doesn't believe in feminism or women's rights much denied that we know each other and did not give the endorsement I was hoping for. I have CPTSD from all four forms of abuse which automatically disqualifies me from having any kind of legitimate "gifts" I guess. Terrible service, support and customer care. Definitely do not recommend.

There are a few stairs to get in, I think there is a ramp but I did not see one for sure. There was a hand sanitizer and the owner was wearing a mask. Wonderful. Thank you! I dont know t too much of this kind of stuff so basically , I'm a tourist with these sorts of things but I feel the staff I was with on both visits were very welcoming and open to questions . First visit I got some nice soaps with different properties and a really nice face mask for my wife that was locally made. Second time my wife came and she got a sticker for a fun tray I've been working in and a sacred feather and smudging sage. Such a warm and inviting place. We were welcomed right away both times and were a little older , and we were treated with kindness and respect. They have all manner of "new age" alternative goods. Crystals, sage, jewelry, Wiccan good, decor , local craft. Soaps . Incense. Ceremonial goods. Just beautiful things. I say check it out. Support local and support alternative.

These 2 things easily take up half of the floor space. They also have bulk spices of every flavor and color. These are self-serve and are weighed at the front desk. My friend came here looking for a weird and somewhat rare Szechuan Peppercorn that makes your tongue numb (without burning it). And they actually had it in the bulk spice area! Finally, there's a myriad of weird salt lamps. Interesting. -Daddy Maxx Retro

Where do I even start?!…read more I should start by saying the owners of Mississippi Flavor Company are incredible people with the highest standards and passion for their brand. Second, my cabinet is filled with these seasonings. I don't want to use any other brand ever again! My personal favorite is Maui BBQ. Third, they have a seasoning for everything from baking blends, burgers, tacos, chicken.. etc. Fourth, they are a veteran-owned business. Lastly, I love that they are a locally owned business. Supporting small local businesses is so important, especially these days when it's easier to reach for big corporate brand products.

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.
