The Wedge is an absolutely wonderful resource for organic food, top-notch quality produce, free-range meats, and an amazing selection of cheese. For all you amateur chefs who believe in making everything from scratch, check out The Wedge Co-op to get the ingredients for your next masterpiece.
You do not have to be a member to shop there, but membership does have its benefits. For instance, the more you spend as a member, the larger the dividend you can receive at the end of the year. Also, you can qualify for all kinds of coupons and discounts. I would recommend joining only if you plan on committing to making The Wedge your primary grocery store, as the prices are a bit steep(but worth it).
To sum it up:
Do expect to find fresh salads and pre-prepared entrées in the deli. Do not expect to find overly processed, cheap food.
Do expect to find eco-friendly cleaning products. Do not expect to find Dawn or Tide on the shelves; as I'm pretty sure they only carry the safe stuff. The same goes for any other basic cleaning supply.
Do expect to be tempted by all the fresh bakery goods. Do not expect perfection out of the vegan selections, however.
Do expect friendly service at the deli counter and checkout lane. Do not expect them to question you if you borrow your friend's member number and use one of their coupons!
What can I say? I love The Wedge and everything that they stand for; sustainable farming, social justice, and high quality food. If those values are important to you, then check out this happy little co-op.

If you're looking for a health food store in Uptown then you should check out the Wedge. They carry organic produce, meat and dairy products along with health and beauty items. You can buy a membership to be part of the co-op. This offers extra discounts on products. I find them to have limited products and higher prices.

The wedge is a gret place to but organically grown healthy foods. The other great thing is that they have tons of unique products such as real peanut butter, werid vegitables, sodas, honey, and much more. I also like this store because it is clean and well run. The main down side is it is expensive but you have to pay for quality so it's worth it.

The Wedge is one of the best natural food co-ops I’ve ever seen. They have an excellent selection of organic and earth-friendly products, without compromising flavor. The store will sell groceries to anyone, but since it is a co-operative, people that are members get a good discount on stuff. However, the quality and healthiness of the food and household items, along with the employees’ expertise, is what really keeps people coming back for more than 25 years.

There are a lot of Co-Op's in the Twin Cities, but as far as most locals are concerned, the Wedge is THE Co-Op.
For the best selection of any co-op, fresh & unique produce, uncomparable meat (amazing variety of free range & organic), and a multitude of other products, check out the Wedge.
All in all the prices are comparable to other co-ops, which are still a little higher than most chain stores. But come on, you get what you pay for right? And the Wedge does have larger quantities than most other smaller co-ops, so you can find some really good deals.
The Wedge has wonderful produce & some of the best HoneyCrisp apples in town. Their produce department is always fresh, mostly organic or local grown & well laid out.
If there was one area that the Wedge is stellar about it IS selection! Check them out if you're new to co-op shopping.

I love going to The Wedge. From the all-natural, granola-y products to the hippie staff, everything about this place is pure, natural and perfect! They have either the nation's first or one of the first all 100% organic butcher counters. I got 100% organic bacon there that was so good I almost drooled when I ate it! In addition, you can get your grains, legumes and other baking products in bulk, which will save you money. You only need to buy what you need! all in all, I gave this place five stars. It's fantastic!

We were looking for a co-op to join, and visited and compared several. This is the one we chose, and haven't been disappointed. The produce department is one of the very best in the Twin Cities, and the organic produce is very fresh and of high quality. The prices are about average for natural and organic products, with a good variety, and the bulk food section is exceptional. The meat, dairy and frozen food sections offer many choices. There is also an excellent bulk spices area, and a good array of health-supplements for those interested in that. The website displays the monthly specials, and also has recipes, along with links to sites for organic farming, plus a section devoted to "what's new" in produce.

The wedge is a great place to get organic food, it is a little pricey but the quality is outstanding. They are pretty much like a regular grocery store but with mostly organic foods. I love to buy fruits and veggies from the wedge. They also have a really great organic ice cream. If you are into organic food I recommend you check out the wedge.

Minneapolis could easily change its moniker from “City of Lakes” to “City of Coops”. One of the finest coops in the twin cities is the Wedge. Located on the edge of Uptown, the Wedge offers a broad selection of organic produce and prepared foods. The wedge is larger and has a much better selection than most coops in the Twin Cities.
The Wedge’s parking lot is usually full, but there is additional free parking on Lyndale Avenue.
