Wholesale Opportunities

A melding of ecology, botany, agriculture, community food systems, and cooking, Berries and

Flour uses many uncommon plant crops in our products, some from local farms, fields, and

forests. Each of these Midwest plants has its own story to tell!

​

By teaching how to recognize, harvest, process, grow, and consume more traditional, regional

foods, we encourage folks to eat closer to home. This practice is ever so important considering

many of the economic, social, and environmental issues we face today.

​

We readily collaborate with many individuals and organizations toward food accessibility and

justice. We do cooking demos, give edible gardening lectures and foraging workshops. Our

predominant “store front” is made up of local farmers markets, and our products can be found in

our farm store or regional stores.

​

Our wholesale commercial kitchen, permitted by IL Department of Public Health, enables us to

produce our own value-added products, but also allows Berries and Flour to operate as a smallscale

fruit and vegetable processing facility, and offer kitchen rental for other micro food operations. These activities contribute much-needed components of a strong local food system in Central Illinois!

 

Thank you for your patronage and support of regional foods and growers!
