Iron & Acre · Our Mission

Food is the thread that holds us together.

We believe everyone deserves better food — and a deeper connection to where it comes from.

From our family to yours

Food is the Thread That Holds Us Together

At Iron & Acre, we believe food is more than fuel — it's the ritual that anchors a family. It's Tuesday taco night, Sunday breakfasts, the quiet moments around the dinner table. When we feed ourselves well, we show up better — as parents, partners, and people.

Our mission is to bring that kind of food into more homes: clean, honest, nutrient-dense staples from farms that care. Because how we eat shapes how we live.

— The Bahes

"We started this because we couldn't find what we were looking for at the grocery store — and we knew other families couldn't either."

The origin story

Why We Started Iron & Acre

We started Iron & Acre with one simple belief: everyone deserves better food. Not just cleaner ingredients, but a deeper connection to where that food comes from — and the people behind it.

After seeing firsthand how hard it is for small farms to reach customers — and how broken the modern grocery system really is — we knew there had to be a better way.

So we built it: a new kind of grocery experience that puts nutrition, transparency, and local sourcing at the center. Every product we carry is sourced from a named farm within 100 miles. Every farm is vetted in person. No exceptions.

What we stand for

Food You Can Trust. From Farmers Who Care.

Radical Transparency

Every product lists the farm it came from. We visit every farm personally before adding them to our network. You'll always know exactly where your food was raised.

Local First

We source from farms within 100 miles of the North Shore. Shorter supply chains mean fresher food, lower carbon footprint, and more money staying in the Midwest.

No Compromises

No factory farms. No hormones or antibiotics. No chemicals. If a product doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't make it into your delivery. Simple as that.

Incredibly large flavorful flank steak

Love this flank steak. Huge portions. Easy to grill. Very flavorful and no toxins are poisons. We could eat this everyday.

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!
