Not every egg carton has a story behind it. Wanda Farms does. A local family farm right here in McHenry County pasture raised, thoughtfully grown, and run by people who genuinely care about what they put out into the world. That's exactly the kind of partner we want on our shelves.
When we built the market at Lake Roots, we wanted it to carry things we actually believe in. Wanda Farms is one of them.
