Keweenaw Co+op Market and Deli

I am happy that we do have a co-op in this food-desolate area (well, desolate through the winter and early spring). Their prepared foods at the deli counter are quite good and I enjoy being able to have a hot cup of strong coffee while I shop. The employees are friendly and helpful and their craft beer and wine selection is a bonus. They do a good job of bringing in local/regional organic produce that is generally quite fresh as well as some produce from out of state. The down-side of the co-op is that most packaged foods and frozen foods are wildly high priced, even for the area. Just yesterday, I was looking for a supplement for my child that I saw priced $18 elsewhere and was shocked to see the co-op's price for the same exact item (same size) was $32! I cannot stomach paying $11/lb for frozen ground bison or beef when I can stock up at the Marquette co-op when I'm over there for far less. Like another reviewer had noted, beware of expiration dates, as well. It is a nice resource for the area, but could clearly improve a bit.
