Country Life Natural Foods raw honey

Country Life Natural Foods at Madeline's

Country Life Natural Foods is a bulk natural and organic foods company based in Pullman, Michigan, that has been operating since 1960. The business buys whole foods in volume directly from farms across the United States and repackages them into household and bulk sizes, from one-pound bags up to twenty-five and fifty-pound cases. The catalog runs to roughly two thousand pantry staples: grains, beans, seeds, dried fruit, flours, granola, honey, and herbs.

The lineup leans heavily organic and non-GMO, with many items also certified kosher and vegan. Beans and grains are a core strength, including Michigan-grown pinto beans and popcorn, heirloom Bolita beans from a small family farm in southwestern Colorado, organic brown rices grown by Lundberg, and roasted buckwheat kasha in the Eastern European tradition. Most staples are offered in one-pound, five-pound, and twenty-five-pound sizes, which suits both home cooks and people who buy in bulk.

Country Life also makes a few signature items of its own. Its slow-baked granolas are baked for about ten hours to build crunch, blending rolled oats with nuts, seeds, coconut, and either date paste or real vanilla. Its raw honey is unpasteurized and unfiltered, sourced locally in Michigan. Across seeds, dried fruit, coconut, and oils, the focus stays on simple, mostly single-ingredient pantry goods.
