This Week’s Feature

The Bekkum family — Nordic Creamery, Westby, Wisconsin

Featured Producer

If you ever meet Al, ask him about cultured butter.

Nordic Creamery · Small-Batch Dairy · Westby, Wisconsin

Why We Carry Them

The first time we tasted their Garlic & Basil Butter, we stopped talking for about thirty seconds. That's not a figure of speech.

Al Bekkum started Nordic Creamery after spending years watching industrial dairy flatten the flavor out of everything. His creamery in Westby, Wisconsin produces small-batch cultured butters and artisan cheeses from local grass-fed milk. He doesn’t scale. He doesn’t rush. He makes things the way they were made before the grocery store decided convenience mattered more than taste. You’ll lose twenty minutes of your life talking to him about butter cultures. You’ll leave with three pounds of butter and no regrets.

What Surprised Us

"We expected good cheese. We didn't expect the butter to completely ruin grocery store butter for us. That's not a complaint."

Pasture-Raised Proteins

Knollwood Beef

“We trust Knollwood because they’re as obsessive about pasture management as we are about sourcing. This is beef that actually tastes like beef.”

What Surprised Us

“Most grass-fed beef is lean to the point of being dry. Knollwood figured out the balance. You get all the flavor without sacrificing the eating experience.”

Grass-Fed Burger Patties (6-pack)

Heritage Millers

Janie’s Mill

“Janie’s stone-grinds certified organic grain grown on their own farm in Ashkum, Illinois. Bakers who try it don’t go back to the grocery store bag.”

What Surprised Us

“We expected good flour. We didn’t expect it to make our bread taste like something we’d order at a restaurant. The freshness is genuinely different.”

Organic All-Purpose Flour (3 lb)

Small-Batch Dairy

Prairie Fruits Farm

“Prairie Fruits makes goat cheese with a level of care you can taste. Their Chèvre Frais is bright, clean, and nothing like the chalky versions you find everywhere else.”

What Surprised Us

“We expected good goat cheese. We didn’t expect the feta to become a staple in our own kitchens. The mixed-milk version is genuinely remarkable.”

Beautiful Oyster mushrooms

Beautiful fresh oyster mushrooms. Easy to tear and saute in the cast iron skillet with some olive oil salt and pepper maybe a dash of that garlic butter from Nordic and that's it Heaven on a plate.

Best micro greens

These are sweet, spicy and fresh. I love them on everything but especially on top of eggs.
Side note: it said these were not available this week and I would receive a refund on my receipt. 2 days later they were hanging on my door handle, delivered fresh from Local Leaf themselves! Thank you so much. Just the best service from both Iron and Acre and Local Leaf!

Big pops-great tasting popcorn great Price!

I tried both the White and the yellow popcorn from Doudlah Farms. They were both great but the white is a smaller popped kernel. The yellow kernels are so amazing large and crisp ike Orville Redenbacher but better. No crap in the corn, no GMO! You can taste the difference.
Both the yellow and the white popcorns are amazing, my preference is the yellow popcorn. Thank you for having such great products! This is what I will bring to the movie theater instead of buying their GMO soybean covered buttered popcorn. I used Nordic fresh butter from my delivery on top and it's amazing. Thanks iron and Acre!

Freshest eggs ever

These were the best deviled eggs we have ever made. Usually fresh eggs aren't good for deviled eggs but these were amazing. Thank you.

The best produce and meats around

Easy to pick what you want and the best quality in the area. The Majesty purple potatoes were amazing. The lettuce from local Leaf was amazing and the eggs are always phenomenal.
