Gooblink Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I just went grocery shopping tonight - just to our HEB, not organic food store - and they were completely cleaned out of milk, eggs, yogurt and cream. There was a sign on the shelves saying it was because of a nationwide shortage. I've found nothing on the internet explaining it...anyone know what's going on? Weather? Some new govt regulation? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Too many people buying organic dairy. It's a wreck. They're having to ship in dehydrated organic milk from China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Its got to be a good thing, hopefully, though- although prices may go up- at least it might encourage farmers to go organic? Our organic fruit and veg grocers at the markets frequently run out of food by Sunday- they are only there Friday to Sunday and its best to go on Friday to get the range.

WiseOwlKnits Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow! Last week I went to HEB and everything was fine. Strange!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hmmm, the only place I've seen this is at HEB too (on their eggs, not the milk). My local Randall's and WalMart are completely stocked with organic dairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooblink Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow! Last week I went to HEB and everything was fine. Strange!! Yes! I was just there last week, too, on Monday though - and they even had Organic Valley butter. Today - nada. Just a big white sign. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local Randall's and WalMart are completely stocked with organic dairy. Hmm. I wonder what's going on with them, then. I haven't been to Randalls as yet...or Sprouts (I rarely get to Whole Foods) but I wondered if they're running, low as well. It seems like the natural/organic stores would have first dibs on the produce. IDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I haven't noticed a problem. I wonder if that store is using that as a way to justify a soon to come price hike. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in TX Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 My HEB (in Houston) was completely out of the Central Market brand of organic whole milk. There was plenty of Horizon, though. No explanation was given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
