Whittier’s source for all things earthy and crunchy since 1974, the Wedge is a comprehensive source of fair trade, sustainable, and organic food and healthcare products. Since first opening in an apartment basement, the Wedge has grown into an extensive health food haven with a deli, juice bar, USDA-certified organic meat department, and produce from their local farm partners, Gardens of Eagan. The selection of bulk products is vast, with hundreds of items including Minnesota honey and Wisconsin maple syrup. The Wedge also offers catering and cooking classes.

Packed in the aisles at the Wedge are goodies for any lover of high-quality food, but it is best, as in most grocery stores, to shop around the edges. There you can find perfectly grown produce--including items from its own farm, Gardens of Eagan--that is almost all certified organic. You'll find locally produced eggs and milk, a deli section for those who are looking for something good and quick, and a bevy of cheeses that go beyond the normal "white and orange" found most places....

The place is tiny when you consider the wealth packed inside. Aisles too narrow for more than two carts snake past a pyramid of pale Colorado peaches, perilously stacked--knock them over and you'd set in motion a terrible domino effect of colorful catastrophe, as peaches would fall upon carrots, broccoli crowns, fat beets, broad red chard, mounds of woodsy mushrooms, and brimming bushels of avocados. Everything is crammed in, fighting for attention, humming with earthy energy: good,... More »
Year after year we've waxed long in this very space about the Wedge's consistent success in offering up absolutely pristine produce at prices that should (but don't) shame the local upscale chains. We've written passionately about the completely blemish-free organic Fuji apples, the candy-counter-pretty chiogga beets, the sweet, mellow garlic scapes, the made-for-stuffing Gypsy peppers, and countless other cultivars no one else seems to think of stocking. We've written about the oddities... More »
It's a meat market, sure, but with the clout of being the first certified organic meat department in America. Beyond free-range poultry and sirloin, there's no better place in the Cities than this bohemian enclave to pick up your own tofutti-cutie. Simply put, you need the basics--cereal, toilet paper, apple/carrot/banana smoothie with extra wheat grass-- and so does he. Why not make a play by asking if he's into Fair Trade or green tea? The health and produce departments provide several... More »
The first grocery store in the Twin Cities to become certified organic, the Wedge is renowned for its produce. The selection is as broad as it is deep, and everything is identified by where and how it was grown (field of origin, certified organic, transitional, conventional). The Wedge stocks more produce from more local growers than any other Twin Cities store, and profiles of the farmers and their growing practices are posted near their wares. Over the years the Wedge has cultivated... More »
Everybody knows you can walk into any old supermarket to find an apple, a carrot, or a head of lettuce. Or stroll into one of the Twin Cities' more upscale, carpeted emporiums to find the raw materials for an exotic fruit plate or salad. But the Wedge is in another league entirely. It seems that whenever we enter the produce section of this capacious co-op we undergo a transformation from ordinary shoppers into aspiring gourmets, overcome by an irresistible urge to fill our basket with...

It's nice to put nice things in your body
Love their almond butter.
I really don't go here enough. But it's a great place for fresh, local produce.
