Feel Great!

Locally grown food tastes better, is better for you, reduces your carbon footprint, and keeps our community and farms vibrant and alive! Below is a list of where our ingredients come from.

 

Why Local?  Why Organic?

At Wheatberry, we are deeply passionate about health for people and planet.  Chemicals cannot be washed off of food or out of our soil and water, and currently Americans have a 1 in 3 chance of developing cancer in their lifetime.*  We buy organic foods because we want to increase health for our customers and the earth around them.  We buy local because we want to know who we’re buying from, and these are farmers we know and trust.  Buying local also reduces our carbon footprint, stimulates the local economy, and the taste isn’t comparable.  We know you’ll agree.
