MERLOT SMALL RED BEANS

Flours, Rolled Products & Berries:
Weatherbury flours, rolled products or berries are real food and insects find them tasty.

They should be stored in the refrigerator.  If you will not be using immediately, keep in the freezer, especially in warm weather.

We have had reports from customers that even after two years they still work and taste great. We wouldn’t, however, recommend storing them that long.

Although there are organic pesticides, we do not use them, either on the grains in the field or the products we mill. 

If you store the flours, rolled products or berries in a tightly lidded bucket,  you will open your bucket and find  bugs slipping into what you thought was an impenetrable space.  If you have been storing organic flours, milled products & berries in a lidded bucket and there are no bugs, then an organic pesticide has been used.

Beans:
Keep the beans in a cool, dark, dry place.  Dry beans will, over time, take longer to cook (but they still have great flavor).

USPS has begun using AI dynamic pricing; holiday rates are in effect through mid-January 2027. Rates range from $11.45 for most addresses within 150 miles to $22.41  to California and Alaska.

Due to UPS surcharges, we cannot send a 50 pound bag.  It is less expensive to send a twenty pound and a twenty five pound bag in one box than two twenty five pound bags in two boxes.  

UPS charges are also based on distance — the farther you live from Weatherbury Farm, the more expensive UPS shipping charges will be.

To make shipping as affordable as possible, we calculate shipping manually for your order.  You will receive your invoice including shipping within 1-3 days of  your order, at which time you can submit your payment via Zelle or mail your check.
