Food Co-Ops, Farms and Organics

This is the best! I can't say enough about our food co-op, check it out to see if your state is listed-  
Bountiful baskets
We get a basket full of fresh fruits and veggies for a low cost each week- we also always buy their 9-grain organic bread which is so yumm and freezes well too (since you get 5 loaves at a time!) and then some times we'll purchase bulk specialty items.

One of our trips gave us this....then we added a bulk of corn and tortilla's. (The tortilla's also freeze well!)


To find farms local to your area where you can get fresh items, we love this resource:
Local Harvest
Our family plans on taking a few trips to different places within a few hours of us. We also found a farm that teaches homesteading classes on a variety of things- so exciting!!

Our area also has a drop point for Azure Standard-
Azure Standard
They specialize in natural and organic foods as well. We have yet to order but I did put in for a catalog and am patiently awaiting its arrival to see if we will pursue and order with them as well. But we have friends in town that use them for bulk items of wheat, rice and beans as well as specialty items too.

Where ever you may be located, there are always other alternatives to obtain the best food possible for your family. One day we hope to not have to use outside resources and grow what we need ourselves!
