Bulk Orders Department
From nuts, beans, spices, and herbs, to mixes, flours, sugars, oils, coffees, teas, and nut butters, we offer an abundant selection of foods and ingredients available for purchase in bulk!
How It Works
- Grab a container (or bring your own, clean container from home!) PLEASE NOTE! If you’re bringing a reusable container, please weigh your container on one of the digital scales in the aisle to get your “TARE” weight. This ensures you don’t get charged for the weight of the jar in addition to the product.
- Fill the container with the product of your choice.
- Return your container to the scale, and plug in the three-digit “PLU” number associated with your product. The scale will print you out a barcode sticker to use at check-out.
That’s all there is to it!
