I must be old school still buying 5 gallon buckets raw honey from a friend with an apiary, 5 gallon organic raw coconut oil from the Philippines, 100# of organic oats in bulk, 5 gallon’s basmati rice, and so much more we store in BPA free frosting buckets (free!) with screw off lids.
I checked Azure prices and they do look comparable to Country Life Food Coop in Pullman, MI, my go-to for 15 + years.
Thanks for the recommendations.
East coast Azure is growing!
Believe me the drop coordinators are working hard for these drops to go well. Especially so far away from the original site. Often a delivery time will change sometimes even by days because of weather, mechanical issues, road construction, etc. But it's so worth it. Talk to the coordinators when you join, we may have a few tips to help you have a great Azure experience.
Our Azure drop keeps growing exponentially now that people are catching on about the economy and evil in the world. More and more are buying bulk to prep! We have to drive to town to get our groceries, our driveway is too steep. Not all homes can fit a C1 semi truck, probably best to find a close park or somewhere with space.
I've had to completely change my diet. I'm in stage 3 kidney failure and spill protein so I have to limit it and go into a vegetarian diet. I'm cooking everything from scratch which I always did before however I have to learn a new way to eat. For years it was the meat entree and the vegetable, potato or rice along side.
My Dad was able to prolong his time before starting dialysis by over two years by watching his diet. He was stage 4 at that time. Best wishes to you.
I am stage 3 as well but not spilling protein so I do not have to limit anything. My neph does not know why my function is altered. Hang in there! You can do alot to help slow the progression. M
@@shellyburris5918 Thank you
@@Eristotl3 I'm doing all I know to do, even drinking apple cider vinegar.
Dr. Berg is a plethora of information on health. Also my dear friend Lori takes Farciga which had majorly slowed down the progression. I'll be praying for ya'll.
We grow shell beans, and you're right about them being meh-yield space hogs. Still, their siren call beckons us onto the rocks every year...🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Love seeing others pantry items. Been ordering from Azure almost 35 yrs. Nice to see they've grown so much, but sometimes it's hard to get complete orders due to their popularity.
Thank you for this video!! I have had an azure account for at least 2 years but it was so overwhelming for me to try and pick what to buy because they just have so much! Thank you for the guidance with Azure and for the sub stack menu. You are essentially nourishing our east coast family from afar and I can’t tell you how appreciated you are.
It was overwhelming for me at 1st, too! So many choices... I started with ordering flour, sugar, and salt in bulk. Then I learned to add my dairy needs... the butter, yogurt, and cheese! Then added some fresh, frozen fruits.. The onions are amazing and must be a storage variety!!! Our grocery budget is much less since we've made the change to Azure. I think it helped to start off buying the bulk staples.. Shaye is right about the butter and yogurt choices!!! 😋
Azure drops off to us here in Maine…. I think they’re pretty much everywhere 👍
I have yet to make the plunge to order since the drop site was an hour away but now there is one 1/2 hour away. Most videos don't mention the shipping charge of 8.5% added to your total, I just found this out. There are SO many things it is mind-boggling to go through the list of items. Looks like I will have to pull the trigger and just make my first order! Thanks, Shay
From my experience, the 8.5% doesn't apply to orders more local to Azure in WA and OR zones. Now that we've moved to the south, yes there is that fee. It's a lot of money but also best quality which is important.
Yes, the 8.5% fee is only for areas further from the Pacific Northwest, so that doesn’t apply to Shaye. However, I would think that when you factor in Azure’s low prices and the lack of additional sales tax applied, one would likely still save money when buying from them, even with that fee added.
Love Azure. I live 3 hours south of the warehouse. Our driver Mike lives right by our drop site. Quality is outstanding. The nearest Costco/Walmart/Fred Myers is 70 miles away in Bend Oregon.
I enjoy Azure haul videos. Usually there is a glimpse into the whole food choices that are important to you.
Great information. Very helpful.
We are blessed here in America. Allthough we've cut back on expensive meatt now. We get chicken and hamburger and fish. We can still use this though to help us think ahead and be more purposeful in our meals.
Lovely video as always :)
I’m very grateful to have an Amish health food store 7 minutes from me where I can pick up amazing pantry items. I get my dairy at a farm where the cows are grass fed have my own chickens and garden. Sometimes I almost feel guilty having all this good food. I can see this would be great if you had to travel to get this kind of food.
I just found this about. months go I am have yet to order but I was so happy when I found it it was in texas also .and close to my house they will drop off I am working on a n order as we speak ..
Hi there, I use to be a distributor for Azure Standard. It is pronounced Ajyour. the z is pronounced with the sound on the ge as in the word age. Is that as clear as mud? :).
Ha, I’ve always wondered that. Thanks for the correction.
Thank you for saying that. It's like nails on a chalkboard when it's repeatedly pronounced incorrectly 😬
Yes, like azhure. Just Google the pronunciation.
We have been shopping from Azure for several years. We love the products! I'd say 50% of our groceries come from them.
I truly miss Strauss yogurt! I’ve not found it’s creamy, sugarless equivalent in Australia. You mentioned the name and I immediately could taste it! Btw, I’m sorting the last of my summer tomatoes to make sauce as I watch. Homestead life, eh! *grin*
I love azure! I need to try the maple sugar.
It's so good!
Thank you for the informative video . I was wondering if you still have your dairy cow?
Yes, we do! Right now, she’s not bred and just finishing up her lactation. We’re not totally sure what our plan with her is yet, as she’s almost 10 and that’s very old for a Jersey. I’m not sure rebreeding her is the best idea, so for now, she’s just hanging with us at home!
Sadly, no Azure drop near me here in North East MD (last time I checked) and I just don’t have the capacity to start one, although, I wish I could. I usually do a monthly haul from Thrive Market. Cant order in bulk there, but that’s ok. I have a really good health food store near by. I also make some trips to Sprouts Market (30 mins one way up 95) again, not really bulk buying, but they do have a bulk section. Once in a while, I’ll shop Trader Joe’s too. I used to shop Aldi, but you just have to read or scan every label. Some ingredients are questionable for me….and I try to avoid gmo stuff. Always, love your passion for good quality food, Shaye. Thanks for sharing!
Hey there! I love sorta near you in Harford county. It’ would be a decent drive for you but there is a new drop in Madonna MD and also shrewsbury PA. You might consider once every couple of months rather than monthly?
Love azure
Hang in there... it is scary it is year 3 for me.
Love getting our Azure food. I ran a large drop for 20 ish years. When we moved to our new location I haven’t been in the habit of going to the new drop. This video has inspired me again. 😊
Over priced!
Shaye, I’d love to see a Costco haul, too. Azure and Costco are our two biggest grocery sources-
Noted!
I wish we had an Azure equivalent in the UK. I’m intrigued to know what brand your organic British cheese is.
You have Ocado in the UK.
@@rebekahfranks4205 Ocado is a delivery service selling branded products from different suppliers, not quite the same thing.
The brand is British Organic Dairy, Co. - they make fabulous cheese!
@@theelliotthomesteadwhat are you thoughts on the vegetarian enzymes in the cheese they use instead of the animal rennet?
Could you name that butter again? I live alone, so I’m not sure this type of buying would benefit one person, also on a low fiber diet… due to IBS/digestive issues. Your thoughts please?
It’s the Sierra Nevada brand of butter. And I buy from Azure for just myself and my husband-you don’t necessarily have to buy their items in large quantities! I find that even though I have access to multiple health food stores locally, Azure’s prices are often superior, even for non-bulk items.
That is amazing butter..and cultured ❤
I call it Wash-your-sister sauce 😂
HaHa!! YES!
I've wanted to order from azure for years, but it's just not doable for our multigenerational large family. I wish that healthy places like azure would accept snap EBT for very low income families who strive to feed our families healthy organic foods.
❤
Anyone know of an equivalent company like Azure in Canada?
Chelsea from little mountain ranch in British Columbia order's from an equivalent company, check with her.
