Our representative from KerryGold will be sampling their fine Irish butter and cheeses to get you in the mood for St Patrick’s Day.

If you’ve never tasted a fresh bite of Parmesan Reggiano, aged for at least 24 months, from the center of the gigantic cheese wheel, you should drop by for a treat. We’re cutting the wheel at the same time in all the Whole Foods Markets around the nation. Samples will be provided as well as freshly cut pieces of Parm for you to purchase. Our Team Leader Caryn just might prepare her famous Parm Salsa which is a bite of heaven on a baguette.

Four Whole Foods Market are joining forces to help combat obesity in DuPage County by supporting FORWARD, a coalition formed by the DuPage County Health Department.  Resources from our fundraising will go towards programming and awareness campaigns to further the messaging to county residents. Stop by the table in the café for some healthy snacks and to find out more about this local organization. For more information please visit http://www.dupagehealth.org/forward.

You don’t need the luck of the Irish to sample our Meat department’s amazing corned beef ‘n cabbage, Specialty’s KerryGold cheese and beer, and Irish Soda Bread.
