Mint Creek Farms

Sheep, laying hens, cows, pigs, goats, and various poultry are raised with the of goals of bringing back biodiversity and fertility to the land through organic farming methods and making life-giving, grass-fed meat and eggs available in a region where they are hard to come by. Grass-fed meats are more delicious – this is an added bonus!

Windrose Flowers

Windrose Flowers follows the same organic standards as we use for vegetables on Tempel Farms Organics, focusing on an environment clear of any hard chemicals or pesticides, keeping ourselves, our neighbors and our customers free from any harm. By raising our organically grown flowers we continue our practices in soil fertility, crop rotation and growing a healthy, beautiful flower with our personal care.

Seedling Fruit

We always try to let fruit sit on tree, vine, plant or bush until fully ripe. Picking ripe means our fruit is picked at the height of its ripeness, not just based on looks and taste, but also as indicated by a brix reading on a refractometer. Taste outweights travel for us.

Bow Truss

Bow Truss cultivates global relationships with small farm holders around the world to bring ethically grown, delicious whole bean coffee to Chicago. Our coffee is roasted locally and served to our customers, many of whom are investors in Bow Truss as well.

Burton's Maplewood Farm

Maple Syrup is not just for pancakes anymore! Burton’s Maplewood Farm’s maple syrup has been used in many fantastic ways to include cocktails, brussel sprouts, ice cream, and even to caramelize onions for that perfect burger.

TeaSquares

Our small, Chicago-based company makes TeaSquares at a family-owned facility in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. We tested every batch by hand and went through about 50 different iterations of the recipes before arriving at our current 3 flavors. We offer tasty versions of Açaí Blueberry, Citrus Green Tea Matcha, and Madagascan Vanilla.

Sitka Salmon

Direct from small-scale family fishermen who are also owners of the company, wild seafood is blast-frozen and brought to the Midwest. Each fish is sustainably caught and traceable to the boat of a fisherman-owner.
