NEW BULK SECTION

At Bishop’s Orchards we are constantly keeping up with food trends and what our valued community is asking for. Having a bulk food set provides an economical option for customers who want to keep their pantry stocked with staple food items for cooking and baking. On March 10th, we launched four new bulk food options in the bulk set, available in bulk food barrels. All USDA Organic we are introducing Rolled Oats, French Lentils, White Quinoa and Brown Basmati Rice. We chose to start with these four products because they are so versatile for cooking and baking and because they are very nutrient dense. Each bulk food ingredient has the nutrition facts and price listed right on the barrel so you can scoop only what you’re going to use at home.
