Gluten-Free Products are Better Than Ever!
Valley Natural Foods strives to meet the needs of our customers who are on a gluten-free diet. Gluten-free foods have really improved over the years, due to better recipe development and the availability of ingredients and products produced in dedicated gluten-free kitchens across the country.
Our gluten-free offerings are better than ever now that we have our very own Down in the Valley Bakehouse operating in full swing just three miles away! Check out our local profile in the October/November This is Living Naturally where you can learn all about our bakehouse. Freshly baked gluten-free cookies, bars, cakes and cupcakes are all available in our deli department, delivered straight from the bakehouse!
Valley Natural Foods sells several other gluten-free products throughout the store from other companies. Here’s a highlight of three local ones:
