Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hi All, I will have farm-direct unpasteurized almonds for sale again this year. They are from the same farm as last time but this year we will have a chance to get the non-pareil (larger, flatter) variety, which comes in earlier than the Sonoras (the ones we got last year, which are smaller and rounder). Also, the farm has completed its organic certification requirements this year. This may be good news for some who like or need the government label but the bad news is that it greatly increases the value of the product. I am still awaiting a final quote from the grower but it will likely be double what I paid last year. My price to you will not double but it will definitely increase. I'm pretty sure I'll still be able to offer them at $11 per pound, which is an unbeatable price for certified organic non-pareils. I have opened a database at the Raw Washington homepage so that you can enter your advance order. It will be helpful for me to have this information when I place my order. Bear in mind that the almonds will not be harvested and shipped until September (late in the month most likely, at the earliest). I have placed some photos on the home page so you can see what they look like now, still on the tree. There is a 5-pound minimum on all orders. Almonds store well in a cool, dark place or refrigerator for up to a year with no depreciation of taste or nutrition. If you have any questions about using the database or the product itself, please post or email me privately. I will not be able to receive email until Sunday evening, jfyi. Thanks much, Nora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Nora, Not to be a pest, but could I pay you to ship some of those my way? I'll pay costs. I assume there's no extra packing or handling charge for the extra distance(?) Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hi Nick, I will ship them anywhere. I think we got 8-10 pounds in the flat rate postal boxes for only $9 postage. This year we have the larger boxes which will probably hold 12-15 pounds for $13. Go ahead and add your order to the database and we can adjust it later if necessary.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi Nora, I'm back on line with a new computer after two years. I'm new to the , so I don't know if I order from you Nora by responding here or to you from my regular e-mail, or if there is somewhere else in the website that I am supposed to place an order at. I want a minimum of about 20 pounds in the fall order. I'd like to place a larger order of Walnuts if anyone is resourcing that. Nora, You could email me at janaki to set me straight on how to place the almond order if you would please. Also I'd like to know about any cooperative food buying that happens through this site as well or other bulk raw buying resources. Thanks for getting me up to speed everybody.
