Finds for the Furry & Feathered

A new pet food that won’t bust the budget. And time for deals on pooch outerwear.

Of course, we want the best for our pets — but at a good price. In that spirit, Dave’s Naturally Healthy Pet Food for cats has earned a spot Across the Way. (The dog and cat formulas have been in Ambler for a while.) A 12.5-ounce can is $1.89; by comparison, 5.5-ounce cans of the other varieties at ATW range from $1.39 to $2.15. Dave’s contains no wheat, wheat gluten, soy, cereal or other fillers, and no artificial coloring.

If you’ve been debating whether to update Fido’s jacket, now may be the time to buy. Mt. Airy Pet Manager Anton Goldschneider will be marking down his current stock to make room for new stuff, so that coat you’ve been coveting will likely be cheaper than it was in the fall. Swing by with your fur baby and see what strikes your mutual fancies.

Going On in Grocery

Lumi Juice is now local. And a solar-popped vegan corn in Ambler.

We’ve got a great local food scene here, and occasionally, producers move to the area to get in on it. Lumi cold-pressed organic juices, born in Charlottesville, VA, in 2013, is now headquartered in Malvern. The move allows Lumi to take advantage of a better distribution network, process juice at a faster rate and have access to a more abundant supply of produce. Their line can be found in Mt. Airy and will soon be back in Chestnut Hill.

On the new snack frontier, Ambler has added Bjorn Qorn, based in Brooklyn, NY, to a grocery endcap. College buddies Bjorn and Jamie pop most of their corn — non-GMO, of course — with solar reflectors at Kelder’s Farm in the Roundout Valley of New York state. They then season it with nutritional yeast, giving it body without using butter or cheese.

Ever hear of craft ramen? It’s a thing, thanks to Mike’s Mighty Good of Woodland, CA. Their packages and noodle cups, available in the Hill and Ambler, feature steamed organic noodles; their sourcing is non-GMO and their packaging is paper. You’ll find one flavor of the packages and cups in Chestnut Hill, and five package and four cup flavors in Ambler.

Bakery Bites

Rejoice, vegans! Crust Bakery items are now in all our stores.

Out-of-the-mainstream baked goods. such as gluten free and vegan, can be hard to find (and aren’t always worth the hunt). Enter Crust Vegan Bakery, born in Philly in 2014 and now based in Manayunk. Their treats, including cookies, peanut-butter blondies, scones and coffee-cake squares have finally made it to Chestnut Hill, so no matter where you shop the Co-op, there they are. Not a vegan? Give them a try — you may be pleasantly surprised.
