Bensmom Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) If you order food in bulk, what company do you use? What products have you ordered? Is it organic? How/where do you store it? Thanks :) Edited March 8, 2012 by Bensmom thought of another question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlylocks Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If you order food in bulk, what company do you use? What products have you ordered? Is it organic? How/where do you store it? Thanks :) I buy grains from our local health food store. I usually purchase oats, flour, rice, etc. I store them in the original bag inside Rubbermaid totes and pull out enough to fill my canisters/jars as needed. Meat is purchased from a local organic farmer. We can store half a beef critter and half a pig in our chest freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in LV Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If you live in the West, Azure Standard is a good option for ordering in bulk. http://www.azurestandard.com/ They deliver for free to local drop-off locations. And they do sell organic. I'm not sure how long you want to store your items. If it's for long-term storage, I use mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, and then keep them in 5 gallon buckets (free from my local grocery store bakery).

Slartibartfast Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) I keep things in the freezer, for the pantry I put them in mason jars or glass milk jugs. I got pantry moths ONCE and I will NEVER go through that again! I am very cautious about how things are stored now. :lol: I like Azure or the local Frontier co-op.

SewingMom2many Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Azure Standard is delivering out my way finally so I get to order through them! I love it so far. I used to order some things through bulkfoods.com and go to a restaurant supply store in town and I'd drive about 1.5 hours to get my wheat. I'm so glad I can buy it all through Azure now, it's much easier. I keep all of our bulk grains in the deep freezer. We, too, had pantry moths once. YUCK! And what a waste, I had to throw out so much food :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
