Co-op orders

[Guest guest]

Can someone send me information on local food buying co-ops in Seattle, people

connected to the raw food group? Is there info about this that is supposed to

be accessed through somehow?

What follows is further description of what I'm looking for and some ideas

for everybody on disaster planning. I probably miss out on a lot of info by

not attending the raw food potlucks...

 

I am looking for local Seattle folks who are making bulk purchases together

to save money. I don't need to order more on line right now but would like

to know if there is any coop of sorts. I no longer have the info about the

fellow that I thought was in Seattle who has a food purchasing co-op with

some of the raw food group folks or . I'm wanting to know for

future orders and maybe for present. Is anyone having a drop site for

azurestandard.com? I've already placed a major order since I'm going to

Oregon soon and will be picking it up directly from the company, but would

like to know if any site in Seattle exists that is open for new people to

join as they didn't have an open site in my 98115 area code when I checked

today. I could also join a site in Monroe, Kenmore, Bothell etc. Anyway,

this and other cooperative food buying ideas is what I'm looking for. Some

good sites I found for food planning and for purchases at this time are as

follows: azurestandard.com; lifesprouts.com; purcellmountainfarms.org;

granarybulkfoods.com Some sites are out of some things but by looking

further to other sites you can still at this time find most items you might

seek. I use nuts, seeds, grains, certain legumes and heirloom garden seeds

in my living foods lifestyle and preparation planning. Dried fruit has a

limited shelf life but if vacume packed will last longer but seems really

good for about a year max. The smaller fruits last longer, raisins,

berries. Don't deprive sprout seeds oxygen however. For disaster planning,

food grade diatamaceous earth (did I spell that right!?) will keep seeds

viable 10 or 20 years in food grade plastic buckets if you open them and

stir them once a year and then re-seal which is not a problem especially if

you are using the food all along. All my seeds (almost used up) from 9

years ago still sprout and are tasty. Most nuts can be stored frozen fairly

long term if its a deep freeze that does not self defrost. I choose to keep

some freeze dried foods that could flavor other living foods in a pinch.

And then there are the powerful antioxidant and power foods such as

Chlorella, gogi or wolf berries.

I read my message and thought of one more item to share. I learned recently

that you generally don't want to store more that one kind of seed in a

container because all seeds off gas and the off gassing of one seed can kill

another seed in some cases. Despite this, I did make one purchase that has

more than one seed type in a bucket, but I will be researching to see if

that's a problem for those seeds.

Be well all,

Jerrod Sessler has organized an organic produce co-op. He has posted

here in the past. His site is www.hope4health.org.

Actually, I believe the raw food buying club you are talking about is

rawvegansource.com, run by Tom & Susan. The store is at their house in

Redmond.

 

As Ron mentioned, Jerrod Sessler runs a produce co-op out of Renton.

 

Central Market in Shoreline offers great case prices on produce.

 

While not as good a price as Central Market, PCC Fremont (other PCC's

should have the same deal) offers a discount (currently $15.00) for a

3-pound bag of organic baby greens ($11.25 at Central). Both are much

better than the $5.99 or so per pound in the serve-yourself bin.
