Raw Honey, Dorothea’s Goatmilk Soap, Hay Dude’s
The Snohomish Co-Op has been supporting local business and agriculture for over 85 years, and provides shelf space to products made by small, local crafters. We would like to highlight a couple of products that you can find at both our Snohomish and Monroe locations.
Timberline Bees located in Granite Falls, Washington provides us with raw honey available in many convenient sizes. From honey sticks, to beeswax, to pints, quarts, and gallons of honey, find just what your family needs for local raw honey. Try their creamed honey for an easy to spread treat. Delicious, locally sourced and produced, find great prices on Timberline Bees raw honey.
We also sell reusable beeswax overs for food storage. Attractive fabric covered in beeswax, these food covers can be used over and over again, replacing plastic wrap. Just hand wash them with a mild detergent, and hang to dry. Beeswax covers are also safe to use in the freezer for up to a month. Four packs of 10 x10 inch square, 9.5 inch round, 7.5 inch round, and 6 inch round are available at the Snohomish and Monroe Co-Op.
Another favorite product on the shelf here at the Snohomish and Monroe Co-Op is Dorothea’s Goatmilk Soap. Available in a wide variety of flavors, goat milk soap provides a deep, yet gentle clean. It will help keep your skin soft, nourished, and moisturized. Goat milk soap is also known to relieve irritation and inflammation, to help heal skin infections, and to maintain the pH balance of the skin. Dorothea even has a few flavors with charcoal incorporated. Charcoal in goat milk soap is known for its absorptive properties and helps with controlling acne, drawing out impurities, and exfoliating your skin. Try staff favorites like Mojito, Lavender with Tea Tree, and Unscented with Oatmeal.
If you have small animals like guinea pigs or rabbits, be sure to try small batch bags of hay from Hay Dude’s, a local company based just up the road in Sultan. They source their hay from farmers in Eastern Washington, and package it in small bags perfect for small pets. You can find small bags of timothy grass, orchard grass, and alfalfa. Try switching between hay types to prevent finicky eaters. They even have small bags of straw for bedding. Forage is an important aspect of diets for guinea pigs and rabbits, but sometimes big bales of hay are impracticable when storage isn’t available. Hay Dude’s small bags of high-quality hay from Eastern Washington is the perfect solution.
