I found it surprising that Sioux Falls, which otherwise has very little in the way of happy cow friendly spots, had a co-op that is better than many I have seen in much larger cities. This place was a gem -- and it makes sense when you realize they've been perfecting their craft since 1973. They had all the usual health food store staples, a really robust organic produce section for a store that small, a little cafe, and they even had some healthy prepared foods. When there aren't any vegan restaurants around and I'm passing through somewhere, I always check to see whether the local health foods store has some healthy prepared foods I can take to go. These guys did -- quinoa salads, Asian salads, little healthy hearty containers of food hat were also delicious. Overall I was really impressed. Sioux Falls is lucky to have such a place!
