I am trying to start up my own operation where I make whole wheat
bread every day.  I am trying to find some store close to Eden
Prairie, Minnesota (but definitely in Minneapolis area) that will sell
me 5-10 big buckets of wheat that I can buy on a weekly basis at
discounted prices.  The only place I have been able to find has been a
place that sells metric tons of wheat.  I don't need that much.  But I
also need a lot more than most grocery stores can provide me.  I just
want wheat that I can put into my wheat grinder.  I want lots of it at
a good price and I don't know where to find it.  I need 3 different
stores with phone numbers where I can make such purchases.

This has been quite challenging...

I was able to find one wholesaler with multiple companies that are
distributors of their products in Minnesota, with one in Minneapolis,
and many others that seem to be even closer to you.

Wheat Montana Farms & Bakery sells several kinds of wheat berries,
and the best bargains seem to be the 50 pound bags for about $13:

food" in Minneapolis, with 232 results, some of which may also 
carry bulk wheat berries:
