Proudly Bringing Iowa and the World’s Finest products – to the DSM.
Berkwood Farms
Berkwood Farms is a coalition of over 60 independent family farmers. We have strived to reach excellence, by never sacrificing quality. Through this philosophy we have come to be one of the largest American suppliers of 100% certified pure heirloom Berkshire pork, and the only farmer-owned company with national distribution.
Maytag Dairy Farms
Cheesemaking is a fusion of art and science. Time and a few simple ingredients transform sweet, farm-fresh milk into a food with complex flavor and rich texture. Still today, Maytag Blue Cheese is crafted in the traditional, time-honored method.
La Quercia
We started La Quercia to create premium quality American prosciutto, then applied what we learned to other cuts of pork. Our appreciation for cured meats grew out of the three and a half years we lived in Parma, Italy, prosciutto’s area of origin, where we saw how the careful treatment of fine materials resulted in an accessible, sublime and entirely regional cuisine. Our ambition to create our own prosciutto came from our desire to take the bounty that surrounds us in Iowa to its highest expression. We seek to contribute to the growth of premium artisan-made American foods by offering unique dry cured meats of the finest quality.
Doré Bakery
All bakery items are produced from scratch with the highest quality local ingredients to create the most flavorful, notable sweet experience. And while we are able to produce any pastry item to customize your special event, our most desired desserts include specialized cakes to reflect the theme and décor of weddings and celebrations and appetizing bite-sized desserts for special occasions.
Milton Creamery
Every fine cheese, regardless of its type, has subtle nuances of flavor, aroma, color and texture that set it apart from all other members of its family. The same is true for the cheeses of Milton Creamery. The surest means of selecting the perfect cheese for your mood is by trying them.
