Fresh and Local
Wild
Oats, located in the beautiful hills and valleys of western
Massachusetts, is close to many small organic farmers and food
producers. As a small, independent cooperative business,
we are guided by the high standards, discriminating tastes and healthy
eating habits of our members and customers -- not by a sales plan from
corporate headquarters.
We are able to offer a large and changing
variety of locally grown produce every day, in addition to local
artisan cheeses, local handmade yogurt, and local dairy products. We
also stock locally raised eggs, grass-fed beef, local naturally raised
poultry, locally produced bulk nuts and seeds, locally made kombucha, and much, much
more. When you visit our store, you will find that every one of our
departments offers local items. Just look for the Eat Local decal , or
ask one of our staff members for help.
