Choose foods that make a positive impact.
Local foods are fresher and taste better. But their impact goes beyond delicious meals. When you buy local, you have a positive impact on the community and the environment. With the support of co-op owners and shoppers like you, food co-ops excel at bringing fresh food to more people while they support local farmers, suppliers and economies.
When you choose local, you
- Know where your food comes from, and who is paid to grow, pack, ship and stock it.
- Reduce the distance food needs to travel, ensuring that it’s fresher and retains nutrients.
- Support a vibrant local economy, including local family farms and producers.
- Grow the market for unique products made by people in your community.

Simply put, we care about what we eat. And we believe we’re to love our neighbor as ourselves. To us, that means caring about what you eat and doing our part to make sure quality food is available for those who want it. As growers of “food for people,” we believe that the final product is as important as the methods used to grow it. So while we favor organic methods, we also concern ourselves with increasing nutrient density of the various foods we produce.

We jokingly like to say that Sioux Falls itself decided it needed a better beer scene back in 2013. It was during that spring that a freak ice storm got to thinking that Matt Hastad’s house had a little too much electricity and heat for modern comfort’s sake. Being one adverse to freezing and moping in the dark, he asked his friend Jason Davenport if he could muster a spare couch. Jason charged the hefty fee of a couple gourmet meals and a little knowledge of that funny home brewing hobby Matt had picked up in college. The two stewed, brewed (often times literally), and came to the conclusion that Sioux Falls needed a marquee brewery like so many of her rival cities had already embraced. A few good batches (and a few not-so-good ones too), taught them that in order to make their odd little hobby into a sustainable business, they’d need to get more precise.
Enter Tyler Jepperson, Matt’s former college buddy and medical lab biochemist. When the wheels get to turning in Matt’s head, they travel towards Tyler’s brain, for a final destination with Jason’s hands. As such, we like to think our beer is equal parts inspiration, science, and mechanical knowhow. After building an incredible team of business advisers and friends, they settled upon their exciting location at 8th and Railroad in the city they called home and never looked back.
