Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I just saw this and maybe I missed something. I buy some things from Stan at Glaser Farms too. Produce that is not available to me where I live . But Why would you not buy from Khepre whenever possible. We need to support each other. That's why this group was originally formed. Khepre sells coconuts as a favor to the community he makes very little money off of the sales.So why wouldn't you buy coconuts from him instead of Stan in Florida.??

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Mark, Thanks! I had previously ordered from Glaser Farms, but failed to inquire about produce. They do have a wonderful selection and friendly staff! I was surprised that Diamond Organics didn't have them, either. FYI...If anyone has been looking into Matt Amsden's Rawvolution catered meal boxes, you should give it a try! I am LOVING these! Check it out rawvolution.com. The boxes are $125 and ship from their new location in NY. However, when Mojo opens, Rawvolution may become an afterthought...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Greetings every1, The only way I know to obtain green coconuts (with the green protective skin still intact!) for a costly price is to find a supplier in south florida. Firstly, if the green skin is still intact I consider it a wild coconut. Anything else where its been shaven or otherwise, it has probably been tampered with. Last fall I ordered a palate (about 35 cases) of wild coconuts that was driven up here from florida. I have not done it since then mainly because of storage. There are roughly 10 coconuts per case so I could probably handle about 10-15 cases in a 2-3 week span, depending how much I would be using them for the restaurant. After about 2-3 weeks they will start to go bad. So I am interested in starting a co-op with the green coconuts once the restaurant opens for anyone that is interested. Right now I have too much on my plate to organize it properly. I have not tried to obtain green coconuts from glaser farms and don’t have any information into their pricing or quantity, etc. There is a raw food community in Hawaii that I ordered jackfruit and macadamia nuts but not coconuts. They have coconuts but it would be too expensive the shipping from Hawaii as they would have to ship via FedEx express shipping. If you like the bottled flash frozen Spring Garden variety that I believe is the next best option, costly yes, but provides convenience of not having to deal with shell and opening them, etc. I personally don’t prefer vitacoco and other brands that are now entering the market, as we all know their water is pasteurized. As I really think on this it would be really nice to have them regularly rolling in as we move forward to the spring season in a few months. Thx to mark & Lynda for the support. No, I am not selling or making the green husk variety available, not yet at least, but I can get you the spring garden water either individually or by the case… respect & powers, khepere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Greetings Family, I get an update every so often from a group in California that distributes organic young coconuts and durian to several places in California, but they are willing to ship to the east coast wholesale to folks with trucks who can pick up at airports. The problem is I can't find an old email with their webaddress. I'll keep looking, but if anyone is familiar with this company please offer their name and address. Sorry I can't be of more help one love pam PS- since moving to Phila, I haven't had any luck finding young coconuts, let alone organic green coconuts. If anyone has info for this area that would be awesome (I called Arnold's way, and they didn't have any either) khepere Thu, 4 Jan 2007 10:58 AM RE: Re: Question...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hello : I looked a few months ago for the rawfoods store in Ithaca and could not find any young coconuts that are organic and affordable. I would appreciate knowing the name of the distributor who will ship to the East Coast. Alberts Organics sells regular young coconuts at wholesale for 6 for $10.00. I finally decided to purchase alot of the organic produce from Wegmans which is a supermarket that started in Rochester, NY. They have a large organic movement in their store and have their own brand of organic goods which they sell cheaply (I buy the pasta they sell at 4 for $5.00 for my daughter) They sell organic Mangos usually at 3 for $5.00 and organic avocados at 3 for $5.00.. There produce is nice quality and beats the price of alot of distributors because they buy in very large quantities. I think they have a Wegmans in Arlington or Fairfax (or will) and one somewhere not far from Philadelphia, in New Jersey. Also I was wonderfing about the green coconuts from Florida. Do you use a machete' to get into them? Are you going to be shipping goods from your restaurant? Blessings, Ashtarra atzzill Jan 4, 2007 8:05 PM Re: Re: Question...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 UPDATE- Glaser Farms has the Green Coconuts in stock! They are Organic, and sell for $3 each. They don't really sell them 'by the case' per se, so the more you buy- the price remains the same. I just ordered some today... Lydia , " lydyybuggin76 " <lydyybuggin76 wrote: > > Mark, > > Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I found a distributor for green coconuts who will make a bulk shipment to the Washington, DC/Maryland area once or twice a month. Since I am also in California once or twice a month, I might be able to get a shipment there as well, but it depends on how many people are interested and the quantity people would want on a bimonthly or monthly basis. Please shoot me an email and let me know the quantity monthly (for once and twice a month) and your location that so we can see how this will work. Currently the retail price is per coconut is $3 which includes travel expenses but for a bulk shipment to those areas mentioned, we might get a better price. Also, if there are people in other cities/areas, let me know that too. Another shipment to another state could be coordinated if there is enough volume/interest. This person has over 25,000 coconut trees but has usually sold them to manufacturers while holding onto a few green ones for the family's personal consumption and has agreed to sell them young. Never miss a thing. Make your homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
