Wild Oats Market

Food co-​ops rock my world, and a quick stop at Wild Oats for sandwich fixings on a recent visit to Williamstown didn’t disappoint! Decent cheese selection, friendly employees, a clean, uncrowded store, and attractively arranged produce made shopping at Wild Oats a pleasant experience. Prices were typical of natural food co-​ops, and they run the national co+op deals sales, which are usually really good sales.
No surcharge for non-​members nor discount for members.

I love this place. Small (but nice) selection of locally grown produce, local cheeses, and meat, as well as a nice selection of groceries. A lot of organic and vegan products here. Their baked good are amazing. Love the bread and the croissants are pretty great as well. I’ve had lunch from their hot bar once and it was pretty good and reasonably priced.
The groceries overall, however, are way overpriced. I used to live in NYC, and this place is definitely a bit more expensive than what you’d find in Manhattan. This shocked me, being that this store is in the Berkshires and most things around here are on the cheap/​reasonable side. But there are a lot more specialty products here that you likely won’t find at the Stop & Shop or Big Y… so I guess it’s a tradeoff. Also, it’s nice supporting local businesses and farms.
Definitely come in for the selection of local cheeses, the fresh baked goods, and the surprisingly decent (albeit small) selection of wine. I hear their soups are stellar, too.
