our story

Wild Carrot Cooking Company is a food trailer based out of Waterman, IL. Our menu focuses on locally sourced ingredients, handmade into seasonal dishes. Our goal is to provide our small community with thoughtfully crafted food, while supporting local businesses and farmers along the way. Due to our small space and the unpredictable nature of our business all items are available on a “first come, first serve” basis. In an effort to keep our planet healthy, all of our retail packaging is eco-friendly.
