Where do you buy your foods?

Date: December 10, 2010 08:03AM I live in Alaska so prices are sky high in the stores. I have noticed that shipping products to my home is cheaper even with shipping costs. Where do you buy your bulk nuts, seeds, cacao, oils etc? I would really appreciate your help. Re: Where do you buy your foods?

(I get all my bulk locally so can't help you. sorry.) Re: Where do you buy your foods?

Date: December 10, 2010 07:27PM Gosh, I'd be curious about Alaska in general. Do you have land? I am curious how cold it gets in the winter up there. I am wondering if one of those portable greenhouses I have seen on Amazon could possibly work for you. They only cost a little over $100 but I don't know if they work when the outside temp is -30!

Date: December 10, 2010 07:45PM I watched a new report once about alaska farmers... since there is constant daylight during the growing season the produce grows huge.
In this video by liferegenerator he talks of a good resource for raw almonds, and he posts the contact info in the info section of the video: [www.youtube.com] Re: Where do you buy your foods?

Most likely the sources will be established companies that have websites with descriptions of their products. If you still have questions, you can email the companies. Or, call the distributor number on the co-op catalog.
Most health food stores will order products for you if you ask to make a "special order". You can often get stuff at a discount and in bulk. It's sometimes best to get a case of several smaller packages of some things (like seeds). The seeds will stay fresher and won't get bugs. Re: Where do you buy your foods?
