Over 25lbs

More than 250 of our staples come in 25 lb or larger sizes: rolled and steel cut oats, wheat berries, flours, rice, beans, lentils, split peas, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, granola and trail mix. Popular choices include Wheat Montana Bronze Chief and Prairie Gold wheat berries in 50 lb bags, organic rolled oats in 25 and 50 lb, and organic chickpeas in 25 and 50 lb.

Most big sizes are 25 lb or 50 lb bags, but some items come larger. Arborio rice, sesame seeds, alfalfa seeds, psyllium husks, xylitol and tapioca pearls come in 55 lb sacks, organic honey in a 60 lb pail, maple syrup in a 5 gallon pail, and McKay's Chicken Style and Beef Style Seasoning in 100 lb sizes. Nuts and dried fruit often come in their own case sizes, from 27.5 to 44 lb.

No. There's no surcharge for heavy items, so a 50 lb bag ships at the same terms as anything else. Standard shipping is free on orders over $99 to the lower 48 states, and most orders arrive in 5 to 7 business days by FedEx or USPS. We don't ship internationally, but we can ship to a U.S. port for forwarding.

Our larger bulk sizes, like 25 lb and 50 lb, ship in sturdy paper bags. The 5 lb bags and smaller pouch sizes are plastic. Paper sacks are meant for shipping, not long-term storage, so once your bag arrives, plan to move the contents into airtight containers, especially if you're keeping it for more than a few weeks.

Split it into airtight, food-grade containers and keep them somewhere cool, dry and dark. A 5 gallon pail holds roughly 30 to 35 lb of wheat or rice, so plan on two pails for a 50 lb bag. Gamma seal lids make daily scooping easy, and Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers work well for long-term storage. We sell 5 gallon pails with lids.
