We've started a buying club that brings wholesale prices to local folks looking for organic foods!
The focus is primarily basic bulk food items with little or no processed foods, to enable your family to prepare the most nutritious meals at the lowest cost.
We have a passion for local organic foods and we've worked hard to grow our own foods, find local foods, and purchase organics in bulk from trustworthy suppliers. We're launching our buying club in the attempt to bring these great foods to you and your family. We've launched with some basic staples, but will be adding many more items in the months ahead. We appreciate your feedback.
Some of the benefits of our buying club are:- You can save time with no work time commitment required for your membership.
- You can get what you need with no minimum order amount
- You can buy when you want to. There's no commitment to buy each month. You can buy once or as many times as you like.
- You will eat better for less with our raw, minimally processed, or artisan crafted ingredients that retain the most nutrition, flavor, and quality
- You will save money with our below retail pricing, minimal bulk packaging, and returnable container program
- You can feel confident that our family believes in organics and eats organic every day. We're organic gardeners and bakers and network with other local organic growers for the best organic and natural foods available
In order to buy from our club and receive discount pricing on these foods, the following criteria must be met: - Order on time via our online ordering system click here (note that dial-up connections will take longer for the page to load)

If you have any questions about the requirements and rules of our buying club, please contact us.

Got questions about bulk?
We have the answer! Q. It often seems like bulk foods are more expensive, but you say they are less expensive. Why is that? A. Remember when a “pound” of coffee actually weighed a pound? The trend in packaged foods is to reduce the amount of food in the package. Of course, the size of the package isn’t reducing as rapidly as the amount of food that’s in it. So using coffee as an example, let’s say premium Columbian whole bean can be found for $8 a pound in bulk (or 50¢ an ounce). The equivalent-quality packaged product will likely cost you $7 for 13 ounces (or 54¢ an ounce). That’s an 8% higher price. Almost always the unit price (price per ounce, per liter, etc.) of bulk foods is lower than that of packaged foods.
Q. But how many people have touched or handled bulk foods before they are purchased?
A. Most bulk foods have been handled (by equipment and/or people) less than packaged foods. And with bulk foods, you can always see what you are buying so you can quickly get an idea of its purity and quality.
Q. But what about brands? I have some favorite brands and I don’t see them in bulk foods sections.
A. There are indeed many, many brands devoted exclusively to bulk foods and/or natural foods. Do you see them advertising on TV or in national magazines? Not usually, because they rely on the quality, price, taste and overall value of their products for sales. Big brands advertise in big ways. The consumer ultimately pays for that advertising in product price. But advertising never has been a real assurance of quality.
