Bread Becker’s Grain Co-op
The Bread Becker’s sell items such as organic and conventional grains, rice, dried beans and peas, olive oil, Real (Sea) Salt and everything you could imagine for baking, cooking and storage of foods. They sell in large long-term storage amounts and as little a 2 pound bag. They also have a huge variety of kitchen equipment and tools.
If you are in the Florida counties of Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee, DeSoto and Hardee and surrounding areas then join our Bread Beckers Grain Co-op!
To sign up just send us your Name, E-mail address, Mailing Address and Phone # via our Contact page. (Be sure to mention that you want to sign up for the BREAD BECKERS CO-OP.)
I will then send you detailed information and ordering instructions as well as the quarterly order dates.
Frontier Co-op
Frontier Natural Products Co-op order. Yes, we can use healthy, natural and organic things and still live on a frugal budget! The secret is to find creative purchasing power! By ordering together through the co-op we can get WHOLESALE PRICES on Frontier, Simply Organic, Aura Cacia and almost 300 other brands of items that you would typically find on your health food store shelves. The prices are usually about ½ what you pay retail. You can save even more by choosing their bulk packaged items.
To get an idea of what all they have you can look at their Retail site – go to http://www.frontiercoop.com/. (Once you sign up for our co-op you can access their Wholesale site.)
Here’s how it works:
To sign up you send me your: Name, Address, Phone # and E-mail on our Contact page (please explain you would like to sign up for the FRONTIER CO-COP).
Then I send you our group User ID & Password and the wholesale site link.
You shop the site and enter your order on-line (easy instructions will come with your ID & PW)
I place the order, send you an E-Invoice and you pay me directly via check by post mail. (We’re getting PayPal set up for our website soon to make it even easier.)
I charge a $5 co-op order fee – which is usually made up on the savings of your first wholesale item purchased.
The orders arrive within a week or two after the order date and pick-up is here at my house.
We visit a little at pick-up then you go home happy and satisfied that you have made a savvy and smart shopping choice!
The more people order with us the better – so please share this information with everyone you know in the Manatee, Sarasota, DeSoto, Tampa, Charlotte, Ft. Myers and surrounding Florida areas. Just like with our grain co-op, you can carpool with friends (or send them for you 
). The savings are worth the drive and we usually order on a quarterly basis so it’s not often that you have to make the trip.
Please share this on Facebook, Twitter or your fav social media with your Florida friends to let everyone know! Share the shopping love right away so your friends and family can get their orders in by the due date!
To get in on our next order: All orders must be placed by May 27, 2011 with payment due immediately following your E-Invoice.
Almond Flour Co-op
If you are in the Florida West Coast area and would like to order blanched almond flour for healthy Gluten-Free, Low-Carb and protein-rich baking join us! Prices are subject to change according to the supplier but the current price is $6 lb. (compared to $10 lb. in stores). It comes in a 2 1/2 lb. resealable bag ($15 per bag). To sign-up just send us your Name, Address, Phone # and E-mail on our Contact page (please explain you would like to sign up for the ALMOND FLOUR CO-COP).
Farm Fresh Produce Co-op
During growing season here in Florida we get our organic and hydroponic produce from the local CSA’s and Farmer’s Markets but during the heat of the summer our only option for organic produce was the grocery stores. We formed an organic produce co-op to run from June to September to fill that gap. The produce is still as local as we can get it (some things are still growing here in the summer and some are from neighboring states, etc.). A few things have to come from further stretches (like apples). We also have artisanal foods and items from our friends with small local farms. If you are in the Florida West Coast area and would like to participate please complete our Contact page with your Name, Address, Phone # and E-mail (also please explain that you are interested in the FARM FRESH CO-OP).
