New Co-op Cafe Options
Salads, Pickles & More Added by Popular Demand
We heard you, and we agree - sometimes bread is just too filling! Panini ingredients are now available chopped on a bed of spinach with dressing on the side. Craving pickles? A jalapeno kick? You got it! For a healthy boost, have your panini made on the new multigrain bread, or add yogurt and collagen to your fruit smoothie. Stop in to see the new menu or order at basicscoopcafe.com for pickup, delivery, and catering.
We hope you love the additions!

Food is Medicine
Everyone deserves access to healthy whole foods that are free of added ingredients like artificial food dyes, chemical preservatives, and harmful pesticide residues. That core belief lies at the center of everything we do at your natural foods co-op.
That’s why we are so pleased to announce Basics has completed all certifications with the Food and Nutrition Service to accept EBT SNAP in our Co+op Cart online store. Online orders are available for pickup or delivery. Orders over $50 can be delivered in Janesville for FREE!
Combined with our low-income Access Program, the co-op is better positioned than ever to meet the needs of any individual in our community who wants natural whole foods from Basics.
Co+op Recipe
Classic Sloppy Joes
Sloppy Joes are a classic family-friendly meal on a bun.
The combination of ground beef with peppers and onions in a sweet and tangy sauce just makes people smile.
This budget-friendly recipe uses simple ingredients, so you can feel good about serving it.
National Co+op Grocers is a co-op made of co-ops, including Basics! Find more delicious recipes and learn more about what's in your food, where it comes from, how to prepare it and much more at grocery.coop.
