- Mouth
Hooray! Indie foods from small producers for a bang-up alternative to mass produced food-like products. We're stoked about this source for small batch foods that are as distinct as they are delicious and packed with genuine passion by real people. Almost all the goodies are created in the United States without "chemical sweeteners, coloring, preservatives, or unhealthy fats" and always with a keen eye towards fair trade and organic ingredients. Cool shopping options that allow you to find and support proprietors in your region, meet your maker(s), or jump in with a subscription box...from pickles to chocolate, each and every month! And there are gluten free goodies too, like thin mint cookies -- yes those thin mints!

It can prove a bit tricky to find local all natural meat sources like organic beef and organic poultry, right? So the fact that Heritage Foods USA brings a wide selection of sustainable meats to home chefs far and wide while maintaining a fierce commitment

They do all this while staying faithful to the humane and ethical raising, transporting and processing of their products. You can choose from a variety of beef, poultry and pork selections or branch out and try a heritage turkey, rabbit and some bison too! And take the opportunity to meet the farmers behind Heritage Food USA's sustainable and organic foods online, you'll be awed and amazed at their unique stories and the care and skill they bring to what they do.
