We Spent $530 on our First Azure Standard Stock Up Food Haul | Stocking the Pantry | Heartway Farms

[@aimeenelson5683]

I am so glad to hear that you have tried Azure! We have been shopping with them over year & now it is our primary grocery source. We became coordinators recently to bring a drop closer to home. We are 30 miles from the route so our minimum is $3100. We were hesitant but believed the Father would make it happen if it was meant to be. We have only been up & running for almost 2 months and we already have 32 members that He brought to us and have had no issues meeting the large minimum (in fact it has been met above & beyond)! Praise Him!

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Awesome. I'm hoping to do the same locally!

Yep Azure headquarters had a "fire" last night. Total loss. Now certain products wont be produced and will be out of stock. Theres been quite a few "fires" recently affecting our food supply chain. 🤔 I dont think it is a coincidence.

I have recently learned that it wasn’t until all the high fructose corn syrup that people started having tons of “sugar” issues. So it can be a problem in excess, but it’s all the chemical sugars that have been the big cause of disease.

I just picked up my order today in Escondido CA. Glad you had a wonderful experience. Our driver got caught in a snowstorm in OR but A. S. kept us posted and all went well. It's a blessing to shop with Azure Standard, I'm 75, live alone and like your group, there were all ages at my location.

Awesome, Susie!

I drink hibiscus tea often and use that brand you bought. It’s really good for high blood pressure, mild laxative- You don’t want to drink it pregnant or nursing it can cause uterine contractions. A small amount probably wouldn’t bother you but most naturopaths say not to use it pregnant or if you have low blood pressure.

[@edie4476]

Love Azure Standard! I try to buy all organic corn products and their masa harina is great, makes excellent cornbread! The raw cheeses are another favorite. Their Flame raisins are also good! My drop coordinator is so sweet... I actually went into labor on the day I was supposed to pick up our order and she told me she would take care of gathering all my things herself and met us with them later that week after the baby was born! 😄 It's a neat community.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

I am so glad you got your big haul. If no one has shared the bad news. This company burnt to the ground today. Please check the news.

To clarify, the corporate office burned down. The warehouses are fine. There is some impact on liquid and cocoa products but the rest of the products were unaffected.

[@Handlesarestupid702]

I found a gem as far as organic coffee goes and well as many organic foods that are much more reasonably priced than other places. Its TARGET!!! I get the organic whole bean expresso there and LOVE it! Also I get their organic marinara and other sauces and as a plus they don’t add that crappy inflammatory oils like canola.

[@NaturalLivingHomesteader]

You are so fortunate to have a good drop coordinator. I live in Southern Illinois and have to drive 30 minutes to the nearest drop. I've reached out numerous times over the months to my drop coordinator who never ever responds. I have seen him once or twice but usually he doesn't even show up. Fortunately there are never any more than six or eight people at this drop so it's pretty simple but all communication comes through Azure not through our coordinator. It's a little frustrating but it is what it is. Azure is worth it. And they always come through for us.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

I'm sorry it's been a challenge! ❤️❤️❤️

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

Sorry to hear this. Suggest you provide that feedback to Azure and see if they can coach the coordinator to be more customer focused. My coordinator is amazing, friendly and on top of her game.

[@intentionallymade]

The central milling flour is what I used at Costco but it changed to something else similar. It’s actually cheaper to get there but more plastic waste to get several quantities so I get the 50lb bag at azure as well. I like it because it can be used as a bread flour or all purpose and a little wheat can be added to make it hardier if needed. Very versatile.

Try Redmond Real Salt, mined in Utah, Pink Himalayan salt has some not so great practices, you can investigate more. Redmond Real is mined underground therefore; not exposed to environmental elements. If you go to KZbinr Acre Homestead, she did a tour of Redmond Real Salt. I like because it's local to the US and not having to ship across continents.

The advantage of checking out early is that when you get busy on the cutoff day your order is already placed you still get your order and you don’t miss your drop. You don’t get charged until after your cutoff day so there is no risk to checking out early

So many of our staples/favorites in your order! Something to keep in mind for anyone new to Azure, nothing in your cart is guaranteed to ship until they actually pack your order. So even after your “process” date if an item is in stock, it’s not yours until they pack it and it ships. This saved a lot of confusion for me, knowing this!

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Serenity_Craft]

The flour is great, I started getting upset stomach when buying my flour and walmart and I don't have that reaction with the Azure flour. I recently purchased a grain mill, and my next order included wheat berries so I can grind the flour fresh when baking. I also recommend many of the spices and seasonings they carry, but be aware that they are in bulk and don't weigh much, so I ended up with much more than I needed and started sharing with some neighbors. I live in a tiny house, and have room for some stocking up storage, but not much.

Im working on a different scenario, but I really don't have a work around or a plan b... YET!

Hi there Annie, have you ever watched Becky over at acre homestead? She orders salt mined up in Utah or Washington. One of those places. And I think she gets it in bulk for reasonable.

Woot❣️ Welcome to the Azure family ❣️ My 1st order last month was $250. This months order just closed Monday for $420. Last month ordered a few bars of Graziers grass fed European style unsalted butter and love it. Reminds me of the butter my great grandmother made when I was a little kid. So FRESH. Even got my godmother hooked to it so we ordered 2 cases for the freezer. I ordered many grains, flour, beans, coconut cream powder, olive oil, etc. Love all so far, but haven't tried all yet. This month ordered more of fresh and frozen fruits and veggies and more dairy. One thing I wanted to mention.... I do start my carts early and check out when I start them because it freezes the prices. I sometimes put more quantity and can subtract later. Example... Had ordered dates to cart...only 1. The price $5.43 1 lb bag. I later added another bag and the price had gone up so had to pay the higher price. Even by experimenting and subtracting what I added....the original bag stayed at newer higher price. I notice prices slightly going up on various items each week so adding early freezes the prices. Meaning as long as in your cart the items in your cart will not go up. I hope you know what I mean... Love your channel and thanks for sharing...

I picked up my drop on Wednesday and for the first time I got some of their garden plants and I am very happy with what I received as they offered several herbs and garden starts that I didn’t have seeds for which is exciting! One more very fave of mine is the co-op grade a Rich and robust maple syrup…I haven’t found any that is as thick and yummy as this brand and it is in reusable glass bottles! Just a thought, if you and Josh should decide to purchase a non electric grain mill in case the grid goes down I’ve done research and I’m saving for the Country Living Mill that will even grind corn , beans, oats etc. I have been using my electric WonderMill over 20 years now with great success but it is limited to wheat berries.

I love Azure. I really like the fellowship of the pickup and seeing something that maybe you hadn't seen or thought to look for in someone else's order. Great products.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Yes❤️❤️❤️

[@beverlymichael5830]

I was wondering how this worked. Have you looked into Redman salt? It’s my favorite mined here in the US.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Yes, we have 25 lbs of it headed our way now!

[@hollibrooke3644]

Glad to see your first experience went well. I have found when ordering, that out of stock items sometimes come in stock before your order ships so I'll leave the item in my cart when I checkout and occasionally I'll receive that out of stock item because they get it in after the cutoff date for ordering. Thanks for the tip on avocado oil for seasoning my cast iron pans.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Yes, of course!

[@susantaylor8507]

I guess I been scared to do it I can't spend alot of money like 200 maybe 100 dollars I can buy

Nice to see you've found Azure! I'm in the older demographic you spoke of, husband and I are retired and living way out in the country, over an hour from any regular grocery stores. I started with Azure last summer and it covers the vast majority of my grocery buying. We are somewhat local (one day) from Azure so we don't have the shipping charges. Going with Azure meant I could ditch the tiny selection of stale, processed and chemical-laden foods normally found in our little local store, stock up on fresh clean ingredients and cook from scratch again. I use much of what you purchased in this video and love it all. BTW, those tortillas are just like the homemade ones I remember from growing up in CA, so good!!! Be sure to try out their spice selection, much cheaper than all those little containers in the store and much fresher. I keep a good supply of their bulk frozen veggies too. My pantry now is well-stocked with a 6 mos. supply, so I'm switching to trying lots of new products to expand our horizons!

@@hereholdthiswillya Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. Azure is a lifesaver for us. Yes, Amazon does deliver, but our earliest Prime delivery is a minimum of one week. i've had enough spoiled and opened foods from them that I wouldn't use them for consumable products. Azure has gone over and above to provide us with the freshest and cleanest possible product. Our drop this week was delayed because someone struck and disabled our delivery vehicle. Our driver had repairs made on his own dime, and worked through his weekend to make sure we got our products safely. Our drop coordinator kept us all informed on the progress in a timely manner. Azure HQ originally told us there would be a 3 day delay, but it only came down to 24 hrs. Fantastic!! In one year there has been one other delay due to weather, and the truck was only 30 mins. late. So much better than Amazon, or having to drive two hours over back roads to find WalMart or Costco.

[@brendasmith6755]

Azure burned down?

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

Sorry to hear you were disappointed. There are plenty of strong young people who unload our drops and they even load my order into my car. Hope you will try again.

[@lynsmith2698]

I wish we had a azure standard here in 🇨🇦 we only go to town every couple months and I am so thankful to have a Costco in our closest town (2hours) away. But I would love to be able to get large jugs of avocado oil and cocoa and baking powder like those. Great video

Our Costco sells that Central milling flour in organic all-purpose unbleached flour in 2, 10-pound bags and I love it I make and sell bread. So I put the flour in the freezer and freeze it for a week. then I let it sit out a week, and then I put 10 cups in a paper lunch bag label and tape closed then I vacuum seal it. I love this flour. Don't apologize for using sugar. I roll my eyes when people feel they have to. When I stopped and thought about some of the items that are on you should not eat that list are all staple items, currently, they are bleach, rice, sugar, beans, and grains...... these are being touted as bad and you should go gluten-free. I suddenly realized all the things that are currently bad for you are a staple and long-term storage items... huh funny.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Unfortunately, we are not really close to a Costco.

[@tdewtx]

@@hereholdthiswillya Oh wow Dick... I would love to do Azure... I don't drive otherwise i would have been doing Azure years ago.

[@kathysparks6338]

Thank you for sharing this experience and cost information, I hope you all have a blessed Easter. God bless

Ive been doing bulk orders from Azure for years. Love them! They are perfect for those of us who have large families. Ive been getting my chicken feed from them too, scratch and peck brand. Ill be honest, I had no clue they had coffee, never bothered to search for it. My order needs to be finalized by 5 this evening. I think I will add the coffee and give it a try. I drink more coffee than i do water 😂 Nice haul! What is the expiration date on the olive oil you got if you dont mind me asking? Sams clubs olive oil has been having a much shorter expiration date than usual. I may add that to my cart too if it is dated out a bit. Have a blessed day!

[@anniemcelroy2812]

We are really enjoying the coffee. I'll get whole bean, bulk next time. Actually, we are enjoying EVERYTHING so far. The tortillas are the BEST I've ever had.

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

@@anniemcelroy2812 Thats good to know. I just added some whole bean coffee as well to try. Thank you for the suggestions! I will try the tortillas as well. Anything that helps me avoid extra trips to the store! I love that Azure carries such a wide variety of products! And they are great quality, cant beat it! 😊

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

@@anniemcelroy2812 Also forgot to add, their vanilla beans are THE BEST!! I dont know if you make your own vanilla extract but if you do give them a try!! I make my vanilla extract with Jim Beam, it is very smooth and so yummy! The vanilla beans are out of stock frequently but when in stock I usually grab a pouch. Ive been using the same beans whole for 2 years now in two of my jars. I just top off with more bourbon when it runs low and let it sit for a few weeks on the shelf. You can really stretch the use of them out!

[@cherivanmeter6195]

You mentioned you would go ahead and order next month. We are looking into our options here. It seems to be saying that I need to order at least $50 every month or they charge me a $5 fee. Does that mean I have to order every month, or do I only pay that fee if I order and it doesn't come to the $50?

[@HeartwayFarms]

Sorry, we are unsure of that question. We have always ordered way more than 50.00 a month.
