About Us

We are committed to excellence in food safety, quality and sourcing, by providing our customers unique value, unrivaled variety, and convenience; all three are coupled with an array of services aimed at exceeding their expectations. Woodland Foods® is passionate about ingredients. For more than 25 years, we have built relationships with farmers and growers around the world to supply our customers with the finest natural ingredients. Since our very first order of Chanterelle Mushrooms in 1990, to the more than 1,300 products we currently offer, our focus has been to obtain the uncommon, discover coveted ingredients before anyone else, and reintroduce ancient foods that nature never intended for us to forget. Some of these ingredients have journeyed from far flung corners of the earth to reach your plate—like the strikingly bold quinoa fields buried alongside the Andes Mountains of Peru, the Indian spice markets filled with the scent of a thousand spices, the stunning salt shores off the coast of France, and the gorgeous plush landscape of the Bhutan rice fields; each has a different story to tell. Together, our ingredients represent all areas of the inhabited world. Woodland Foods’ search for unique ingredients has spanned the globe and taken us to over 60 countries on 6 different continents. With such a wide variety of ingredients, we also recognize that it’s crucial to have a complete selection that incorporates kitchen essentials. Today, we stand at the forefront of the specialty ingredient industry, focused and poised to provide a constantly growing stream of exotics such as freekeh, Kermes rice and scorpion chiles, while continuing to offer mainstream favorites such as thyme, almonds and sun-dried tomatoes. We also maintain our substantial and steadily growing line of health-conscious foods, including organics, vegan and gluten-free products. As we have done from the beginning, Woodland Foods strives to meet the growing and changing needs of manufacturing, foodservice, retail and club store customers. We love to share our passion for food and our search for the next remarkable ingredient is never complete. Whether you are looking for the staples within our unrivaled selection or distinctive ingredients to set your products apart, Woodland Foods is your trusted specialty food ingredient provider.
