The shelf

Farm Farm shelf

The pantry works the way the coffee does.

The same question decides what goes on the shelf: do we know who made it. Most of what is here comes from growers, millers and makers within a short drive of the farm.

Meet

Millers, tappers, makers.

Farmer Ground mills the flour, Mottville boils the maple, Salt City finishes the salt. We buy from the people who make the thing rather than from a distributor catalogue.

Stock

Small runs, short shelves.

We buy in the quantities a small roastery can actually move, so the shelf turns over quickly and changes with what our makers have finished. Some things are here for a season and then gone.

Share

What we put on our own table.

Nothing goes on the shelf that we would not cook with at home. If you are standing in the parlor and cannot decide, ask. Someone here has already made dinner out of it.

The roastery sits behind the milk house on the family farm, at the corner of Stump and NW Townline Rd in Marcellus. Look for the big silver grain bin, walk between it and the old silo, and head for the red arrow on the door.

Frequently asked

The shelf, local makers, pickup, and shipping.

What is in the Milk House Roastery pantry?

The pantry holds dry goods and small-batch staples: stone-milled flour, maple syrup, finished salts, organic pasta, rice, beans, oats, cornmeal, jam, loose leaf tea and our own house-made granola. The selection changes through the year as our makers finish their runs.

Where do the pantry goods come from?

Most come from growers and makers in Central New York and the Finger Lakes, bought the same way we buy coffee, directly from the people who make them. A few specialty items, like the organic pasta and the whole peeled tomatoes, come from producers further afield that we have chosen deliberately.

Can I order pantry items online?

Yes. Everything on the shelf is listed in the online shop, and you can order any time and collect it on the farm. Pickup is available whenever suits you, though refrigerated items need to be collected during in-store hours.

Do pantry items ship?

Shelf-stable dry goods ship anywhere, the same as our coffee bags. Refrigerated and frozen items are pickup only, on the farm during in-store hours.

Is everything in the pantry local?

Most of it is, and the local items are the heart of the shelf. A small number of specialty goods come from outside the region because we could not find a local equivalent we liked as much. We are happy to tell you which is which if you ask in the parlor.

Do you sell pantry goods wholesale?

Our wholesale program is built around coffee, but we are glad to talk about larger pantry orders for cafes, shops and gift baskets. Get in touch through the wholesale page and tell us what you have in mind.
