Hard Red Winter Wheat Whole Berries
|
2-pound and 5-pound bags
These wheat berries (whole wheat kernels) are our freshly harvested 2020 heritage Warthog hard red winter wheat grown on 9 acres of transitional organic ground in Funks Grove. Unprocessed and straight from the field, they retain all their fiber, nutrition, and flavor. What can you do with them, you ask? Boil and simmer until tender to make a breakfast cereal (delicious with Funks Grove Pure Maple Sirup!), savory side, or salad topping. Basic cooking instructions are included on the back of the bag, and recipe ideas are available on our Recipes page. Or, use any powerful blender or grinder you’ve already got at home to mill up the freshest, most nutritious flour you’ve ever had. |
Hard Red Winter Wheat Rustic Stoneground Whole Flour
|
2-pound and 5-pound bags
Bakers love our stoneground Warthog whole wheat flour for the delicious flavor it adds to pastries, muffins, breads, and more. Use it on its own or mixed with a higher-protein or all-purpose flour for greater leavening. Ingredients: whole wheat flour |
Rustic Stoneground Whole Wheat Pancake Mix
|
with Funks Grove Pure Maple Sugar
24-oz bag (makes three batches of eight pancakes each) 8-oz bag (makes one batch of eight pancakes) Ingredients: whole hard red winter wheat flour, baking powder, pure maple sugar, salt This is our farm's first-ever baking mix, and it remains our most popular. We've learned over time that there are people who apparently don't like pancakes (news to us!) but who will make an exception for our stoneground whole wheat pancakes. Sweetened with a touch of Funks Grove Pure Maple sugar, this is how pancakes are supposed to be. Old-fashioned pancake recipe included on back label. For tips on making waffles instead, see our Tips & Tricks page. |
The Whole Four Acres Pancake Mix
|
with Funks Grove Pure Maple Sugar
24-oz bag (makes three batches of eight pancakes each) 8-oz bag (makes one batch of eight pancakes) Ingredients: whole hard red winter wheat flour, cornmeal, pure maple sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda Some folks think that the best pancakes contain cornmeal, and since we grow delicious deep orange Floriani flint corn, we thought we’d try them out. We consulted with some experts and experimented until we came up with a recipe that used all four acres of our crop rotation in 2019. These pancakes are a perfect combination of fluffy and crunchy, with just a little sweetness from Funks Grove Pure Maple Sugar. Recipe included on back label. We recommend using buttermilk! To find out why, what to do if you don't have any on hand, or how to make waffles instead, see our Tips & Tricks page. |
Jonnycake Mix
|
with Funks Grove Pure Maple Sugar
24-oz bag (makes three batches of eight jonnycakes each) 8-oz bag (makes one batch of eight jonnycakes) Ingredients: cornmeal, pure maple sugar, salt Our Jonnycake mix is based on the rich color and flavor of an heirloom flint corn variety called Floriani that we've loved growing on our farm the past few years. We then kick it up with Funks Grove Pure Maple Sugar and a dash of salt. Think of it like an all-corn pancake, but know that it takes longer to cook, and it will absorb all the butter in your pan and then some. The result is a crunchy, toasty cake that wows with flavor. Delicious topped with sweet or savory toppings, like Funks Grove Pure Maple Sirup or salsa & sour cream! This mix also can be substituted for regular cornmeal in any recipe for improved flavor, texture, and heartiness. Note: While we do not add any gluten-containing ingredients to this mix, we do not recommend this for anyone with a severe gluten allergy. Although we take great pains to avoid it, we cannot rule out accidental contact with our wheat flour. Jonnycake recipe included on back label. For more ways to use this simple but delicious mix, see our Tips & Tricks page. |
Maple Bran Muffin Mix
|
with Funks Grove Pure Maple Sugar
36-oz bag (makes one batch of thirty-six or three batches of twelve muffins) 12-oz bag (makes one batch of twelve muffins) Ingredients: whole hard red winter wheat flour and bran, pure maple sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt Start your day happy and healthy with our hearty maple bran muffins. These are great fresh out of the oven, and only get better if you mix in some fruit or nuts. We use Funks Grove Pure Maple Sirup as our liquid sweetener of course, but you can also use other syrups or some local honey. We've had rave reviews of our muffins from folks young and old, and we think you'll love them too. Recipe included on back label. We recommend using buttermilk! To find out why and what to do if you don't have any on hand, see our Tips & Tricks page. |

We've combined fresh, local fruit with Funks Grove Pure Maple Sirup to create a delicious, nutritious, long-lasting fruit leather snack that we call Fruit Wowzers! The original... - Black Currant Jam, our "original" flavor, is made from fruit from our farm, and with its intense sweet-tart-sour flavor, you'll know how we came up with the name "wowzers!" Freshly harvested and back in stock... - Our Apple Pie flavor combines our own heritage apples with maple sirup plus a touch of cinnamon and salt so you can take homemade apple pie goodness with you wherever you go. - Our Pear Cobbler flavor is made from Bartlett pears grown by our neighbors in rural McLean, combined with maple sirup, cinnamon, and salt to create a sweet, subtle treat that celebrates the fruit's light floral decadence.

These tart little gems pack a punch that is mellowed a bit by the sweetness of maple sirup, creating a deliciously wild treat straight from the grove. - Martian Grape Jelly is made with our Mars grapes, a black seedless variety that was established on our farm more than a decade ago. These may be straight from our farm, but we think you'll agree that their just-off-the-vine grape flavor is out of this world! - Pumpkin Apple Butter combines subtly sweet pumpkin (from our friends at PrairiErth Farm in Altanta, Ill.) with warm spices, pure maple sirup, and the bright, tart flavor of our own heritage apples to bring you all the deliciousness of the fall harvest in one little roll. Our Red Currant Tart and Martian Grape Jelly flavors are currently out of stock until our next harvest.

Dakota Black is an open-pollinated popcorn that has rich flavor and great crunch—a perfect pairing with our light and fluffy yellow popcorn. This black and yellow combo makes us think about our friends the bees, but the colors aren’t the only reason we call this our bumblebee mix!

Maple Ramp Seasoning - NEW
|
Seasoning salt made with Funks Grove Pure Maple Sugar and Funks Grove ramp powder
2-oz bag You won't find a seasoning like this anywhere else. Made with Funks Grove Pure Maple Sugar and wild ramps harvested right here in the grove, plus salt and black pepper, this sweet-and-savory blend is good on just about everything: try it as a rub on steak, chicken or fish; on roasted vegetables, French fries, or the seasoning in a dressing; sub it for garlic on garlic bread; and of course it's perfect on our Bumblebee Mix popcorn. We even like it sprinkled on eggs and toast for breakfast! Funks Grove is well known for its rich sugar maple forest, but that forest is also home to a robust colony of native ramps. Ramps are a native species of onion, Allium tricoccum, that emerge in the spring as the maple sirup season begins to wind down. We harvest just the leaf tops to leave their roots completely intact, and turn it into a fine, bright-green powder. This seasoning is a real "taste of the grove" and is a testament to the health and bounty of these old forest soils. Ingredients: salt, pure maple sugar, black pepper, wild ramp powder |
