Existing Wholesale Customers: Thank you for partnering with us! To support accuracy and efficiency in processing your order, we  request that  all orders be sent in writing to:   wholesale@lightofdayorganics.com.  We monitor this inbox daily, and when we see your email, we'll prepare an invoice in Quickbooks and email it to you right away. Once we have received your payment via ACH or paper check, we'll ship out via USPS Priority Mail, unless you have requested a farm pick up.  For arranging an order pick up at the farm, please email wholesale@lightofdayorganics.com or text Michael at 231-730-1529.  If you have questions or need product or sales support, please call  231-228-7235 or email us at wholesale@lightofdayorganics.com.  As a very busy working farm that does not employ full time desk staff,  we ask that you please leave us a detailed message if we are not able to answer the phone; we'll call you back ASAP.  For emergent matters, please call or text the business owner at: 231-590-2035. 

NEW FOODSERVICE WHOLESALE INQUIRIES: WELCOME!  Thank you for your interest in partnering with us to offer your customers delicious, Michigan made award-winning Light of Day Organics loose leaf Teas. 2025 marks our 22nd year of business, and we are wholeheartedly interested in enjoyable, long-lasting wholesale relationships which work full-circle to support everyone: our customers, partners, staff, and our farms. 

We are pleased to offer a sliding-scale discount only on our bulk one pound bags to wholesale foodservice partners who can answer “yes” to the following  questions:

• Does your business  have a licensed commercial kitchen so that you may serve prepared teas? 

• Are you comfortable purchasing our loose teas by the full pound? One pound of our teas yields 244 (16 ounce servings).

• Are you agreeable to putting our name on your menus, website, and other marketing materials: “Tea sourced from Light of Day Organics- Traverse City, Michigan".   Sun logo or green favicons shown below are also encouraged on your Menus and Website for purposes of  brand recognition.  

•        

• If yes to ALL of these questions, please complete and email your (1)  New Customer Application,  (2) Foodservice Agreement form , and (3) a copy of your Resale Tax ID to: wholesale@lightofdayorganics.com. Once your completed paperwork is received in full, we will review each application carefully before reaching out to you by phone for a personal welcome, to answer any questions you may have, to provide training materials, and help you create your first order.  We will very likely have your first order ready for pick up or shipping via USPS Priority Mail within 2 business days.   Here's a link to our Wholesale Catalogue of offerings. Please note that due to extreme labor-intensity, not every tea offering listed on our retail website or our retail-sized tins are part of our discounted wholesale program. What we can offer you is a very successful and profitable prepared tea program where our teas are sold by the cup, teapot, airpot, Cambro, etc. Alternately, our BULK REFILL LOCATIONS are very popular and create an influx of the most wonderful customers in the world to your location. Our discount on pound bags is 10% off pound bags 1-5, then 15% off orders of 6 pounds or greater.  One pound of our loose leaf teas yields 244 sixteen ounce servings if steeped only once, (though we encourage repeat steeps), with an average cost to your business of 60 cents per 16 ounce cup/pot.   Orders must be emailed to wholesale@lightofdayorganics.com for wholesale discount. Thank you.

• Need to start out slow? An alternative to pound bags (244 servings each) would be to start out your tea program using our retail-size tins (at least 50 servings each) to serve from.  You may purchase those directly from our website since there is no discount on our retail-size tins (due to labor-intensity and high cost of materials to produce).  Once your serving tins are close to empty and are ready for a refill, you can reach out with an order for discounted pound size bags.
