Gluten-free foods have proliferated over the past decade, offering shoppers greater selection and ready access to certified, safe products with a low risk of cross-contamination. While an intentional choice for many, gluten-free certification is an important process that protects against serious health issues for some.

Oryana Community Co-op understands the dietary restrictions and choices our owners make, and providing gluten-free options is a priority in every aisle. Learn more about the health implications of gluten, how gluten-free foods are certified, and the advantages of a gluten-free diet for individuals with allergies or sensitivities.

The popularity of gluten-free foods has been a boon for individuals with Celiac disease and gluten sensitivities. Learn about the certification and more.

It’s been a tough year for strawberries. The cold spring made growing and sourcing local berries especially challenging, which makes this delivery from Second SSecond Spring Farmen sweeter.

Fresh, organic, and grown right here in our region, these summer favorites have arrived at the co-op and shoppers are scooping them up fast. Stop by soon and taste the first local strawberries of the season before they’re gone! 🌞🍓

What do dads really want for Father's Day? 👨‍👧‍👦

We asked a few Oryana staff members for their picks:

🍒 Cody is reaching for a snack break with Brownwood Farms Cherry Salsa paired with Organic Garden of Eatin' Blue Tortilla Chips. A Michigan-made combo that's perfect for summer snacking.

🍹 Steve's pick is Brew Dr. Clear Mind Kombucha, a refreshing part of his daily routine. Even better? Brew Dr. Kombucha is Buy One, Get One Free right now!

And because every dad deserves a little something special, we're giving away a Father's Day gift basket curated by our knowledgeable staff. Stop by either Oryana location this Saturday between 12–2 PM to enter. No need to stick around, and the winner does not need to be present to win. We'll contact the lucky winner directly.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads, grandpas, stepdads, father figures, and caregivers in our community. 💙

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Oryana joins our community in honoring this important day of freedom, resilience, and reflection. Today and every day, we acknowledge our responsibility to work toward a more just and equitable future for all.
