Foodie Friday: The People's Food Co-op goes local to table

LA CROSSE (WKBT) -- Every week for Foodie Friday, we talk in-studio with the businesspeople and culinary artisans behind outstanding restaurants, bakeries, cafes, bars, food trucks, and more.

We want to help our viewers get in touch with the dynamic food scene of the greater Coulee Region while also supporting independent businesses.

This week, News 8 Now This Morning 's Alexandra Carter spoke with Perrin Iacopino and Quin Graves of the People's Food Co-op. They broke down how the co-op works, hosting a mix of organic and non-organic products.

The co-op emphasizes the importance of shopping local for a heightened sense of community; About 20% of their sales are local goods. They put the cooperation in co-op!

On Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the co-op will be hosting an open house event. Food will be provided at the event, like their "microgreen magic" on sourdough and salami bites with drizzled honey on multi-seed nut thins.
