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]

Do you use diamatacious earth at all? If not, it's great! Keeps bugs at bay for your food and the animals. Cleans out your system, use for beauty treatments. You name it. Oh, chickens! Helps with eggs and keeps mites at bay! The hibiscus tea is great! Love watching you all and learning! I'm 65!

My first azure standard order last month. I can’t wait to do it again!!! What great quality. Our drop had 160 families, the highest our drop has ever had. Kudos to our coordinator in Huntsville, AL our drop was at the space and rocket center. Our driver was great, he had a helper, unloaded but everyone helped. There were a mix of all walks of life, colors and different ethnic groups, all helping each other. The guys really stepped up too.

Hi Jen. I am new to this lovely community as of today. Loving it, and plan to watch see what I have been missing. New to Azure as of today too. We live halfway between the Huntsville and Warrior drop offs. We decided to do the Warrior drop off hoping for a leisure scenic route, never been there. We can't wait to place our first order. Currently reading all the comments to get input on products and the process. So happy this came up on my You Tube feed.

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!

We just got our first order yesterday. We have only tried the raw nuts so far. I was packaging the nuts to put in the freezer. We have been buying bulk raw nuts for years, from our local grocery store, but we're blown away by how much fresher the nuts from Azure tasted! Btw, I'm one of those older (65 yo) people at the truck😉.

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.

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...

[@lauriedrake]

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!

[@lauriedrake]

@@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.

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]

Most recently I purchased tomato paste in glass jars so I will be able to reuse the little jars for jelly. The drivers have all been very efficient and friendly.

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 also love to stock up on the Azure Standard chocolate chips and the varieties of nuts and frozen fruits they offer. 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.

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

The office building was lost. The main warehouses are fine and still fulfilling orders. Oils and carob products were in the office building but they are racing to move those lines to the warehouse

My fav coffee is the organic rainforest blend from Costco! So good!

I love their mozzarella cheese for homemade pizza. I shared it, sprinkle some Azure brand corn starch into the bag and shake it well, then freeze it in 2 cup portions. It freezes beautifully and has perfect texture when thawed. I order from Azure every month and love many of their products. I've even taken to ordering some cleaning supplies as they're 'cleaner' than store bought.

Thank you for the tip.

Their cocoa is really good, hopefully they have it next time you order.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

I'm hoping so. I did end up buying some from somewhere else but hopefully I'll still be able to get Azures soon.

Hey! Another suggestion: if you can ground beef, mix up a batch of onion soup and use it in place of the water. Yum!

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Ooo, that sounds yummy

Love their #2 carrots 25lbs. I keep some for fresh, ferment and can them. Great quality.

Our Azure drop location is very organized and it always goes smoothly. Our coordinator uses white 4x4 tiles with names on them placed in a row in the parking lot, so everyone knows where to pile things.

[@juliepoolie5494]

That’s a great idea with the tiles! I’m just about ready to place my first order. I don’t know what my coordinator does. I have an extra tile. I think I’ll make my own and bring it along!

Awesome! Rumford has the aluminum free Baking Power. Hibiscus tea is so good for you and delicious. I make a syrup and use it in baking.

Good thing you ordered, there was a massive fire at their headquarters and it destroyed the building.

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

Check the facts. The corporate office was burned. Their warehouses are still in full production and the few lines that were in the corporate building are being relocated to the warehouses.

[@lilybee_]

We love Azure! I missed the cocoa powder too. I usually check out and I can just add stuff to my cart if needed. I find some of their products are too pricey for us but for the bulk basics we love them. Their yeast never fails.

I love that you can buy organic vegetables plants. I got 89 plants a package of 5 shelling pea plants cost me $3.60 now that is a great price

[@anniemcelroy2812]

That's amazing!

[@Coastal.Redwood.Homestead]

@@anniemcelroy2812 yes it is and I bought all of these extra plants just Incase my plants that I started from seeds don’t make it. I’m also using these plants to put in my greenhouse so they don’t cross pollinate with mine so I can harvest seeds for next year

[@virtuousdesignsbyyessi1717]

How do you search up for plants? I don’t see them 😒

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.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Yes, actually 25lbs are on their way to me right now!

[@JFlower7]

We have ordered from Azure for over 25 years. Great company. I always checkout and then just add items if I need to until the cutoff date. Amazon has organic cocoa powder--Anthony's that is a pretty good deal. I have used the unbleached flour--it is fabulous. I have ordered the 50 pound bags of flour, kept in in the bag in my pantry and never had any problems with bugs. The Stacy's tortillas I am not such a fan of, they stick together. My favorite coffee is from Mystic Monk in Wyoming. I use the Azure powdered vegetable broth all the time.

I love coffee and a great organic coffee is Raven’s Brew. My favorite one is Burin Blend. It’s a Alaskan roaster, they use arabica beans and everything is top quality. I get a verity pack for my husband every Christmas, he love Dead Man’s Reach by them.

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. I love the idea of Azure standard. Back in the day when my 4 kids were young It would've been like Christmas having an option like azure. I have 3 boys and a girl. They had youth and neighborhood kids over and ate a ton. Anyhow, have a great day!! 😊😊😊

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Yes, I've watched Becky. I order REAL salt by Redmond out of Utah. I bet it's the same place.

Not organic, and a bit pricey, but my family loves Black Rifle Coffee Company online. We like what the company stands for and my family says the coffee is the best ever ( I don’t drink coffee!) and you will love the cheese you bought from Azure!

They have the most delicious chocolate chips. They're super expensive, but totally worth it! I have also been super happy with all of the beans, everything Nancy's (it's really tangy so my husband doesn't like all of their products), and I also order every quarter to help with the budgeting and driving time!

I absolutely love Equal Exchange Organic coffee! I have tried many different types, and Equal Exchange is the one I keep coming back to. Sometimes, Azure will have a sale on Equal Exchange Coffee and I usually stock up when that happens.

One of my favorite organic coffee is the Honduras Simply Organic coffee (whole bean) at ALDI. Try it. It is only 3.95 a bag.

[@suzibee2156]

Favorites are flour, raw organic cheese, sprouting seeds, seasonings, and butter

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@cesie71]

The coffee: For years (think 9+) we've bought Equal Exchange whole bean organic coffee either French Roast or Columbian Roast. And by buying, we buy it by the case which is 2 5lb bags per box. When the stay home orders came out, we bought 3 cases on sale from our local food co-op for around $85 per 10 lb case. Since then, we've just always bought 3 to 5 cases at a time. We go through a fair amount of coffee every day and this is hands down our favorite. AS sells EE coffee by the case. Our coffee maker grinds the coffee just before it brews it and measures out exactly how much to grind based on how many cups we tell it to brew. So watch for the sales and stock up.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Thank you 😊❤️
