Common Questions

What nutrition directors
ask us most

Do I need to run a bid to purchase from WFHC?
Probably not. All six VAPG items qualify for informal purchasing. Most Wisconsin districts can order up to $10,000 per transaction without a formal bid - DPI-approved thresholds can reach $50,000. These products are priced to make a pilot easy.
Are these products really certified organic?
Yes. All six VAPG program products are USDA-certified organic. No synthetic pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers. Organic certification documentation is available on request and applies to every case of every VAPG item, every season.
What if you run out of something I ordered?
We notify you at least 48 hours before your scheduled delivery. We offer alternatives at the same or lower price. You approve in writing before anything ships. We never send a substitution without your explicit authorization - ever.
What food safety documentation do you provide?
Every case ships with PTI-aligned lot coding and farm name on the label. Our warehouse is HACCP/GHP/Harmonized GAP certified. Farm partners are GAP-certified and audited. Food safety manager on staff with a direct phone number and 4-hour recall response.
Can I use FFVP funds for these products?
Yes, in most cases. FFVP provides dedicated grant funding for fresh produce snacks served outside regular meal service - a budget separate from your main food service account. Contact us to confirm eligibility details for your district.
What does delivery look like for my district?
We operate refrigerated routes from our Waupaca warehouse. Receive weekly availability, place your order by a set cutoff, and we confirm your delivery window. Receiving documentation is provided on every delivery. Contact us to confirm route coverage.
