more info on upcoming orders

For those of you new to the group, here's a little information about the farmers / companies I'm ordering from this time around.  I tried to answer common questions people have.  Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Looking forward to these orders!
Warm wishes,
Jean

Miller's Organic Farm, Bird in Hand, PA
Miller's web site where you can learn more about them: http://millersorganicfarm.com/
Information about their products from the web site for a co-op in Miami, FL that orders from them: http://www.myhealthyfoodclub.com/
Shipping costs are better with large orders; last time the order was only $300 and shipping was still reasonable: from $2.48 on a $36 order to $17.60 on a $134 order.  I calculate individual shipping costs based on weight of each person's order.
My favorites: crispy pecans, fermented salsa, cow heavy cream, mild cow cheddar, sourdough rye bread
Other people also enjoy: organ meats, other cheese varieties (from cow, goat, sheep), fermented pickle relish, Celtic sea salt (fine and coarse), chicken feet and other parts for broth, potato chips

Bareville Creamery (Daniel Zook), Leola, PA
Cultured butter (jersey-cross cows), cultured by leaving cream sit out, salted with Real Salt. Listed in the WAPF Shopping Guide and also advertises in the back of Wise Traditions (meaning it is recognized by WAPF as following its principles).
Theirs is a few dollars less expensive than butter from Miller's Organic Farm, which is $14/lb., and the dark color is amazing!
They sell the butter in 1-pint tubs (not quite a pound).  They usually ship prioirty flat-rate: 12 tubs fit into a large flat-rate box for $15; for an order 20lbs. or more they to go with FedEx.  This order is already over 20 pounds, so shipping should be about like last time: $.60 per tub.
They require a down-payment for grass-fed spring butter (last year was $2/tub); I'll be in touch in November about the spring order.

Green Pasture, O'Neill, NE (http://www.greenpasture.org/)
Their butter oil products are out of stock right now, but I am happy to let people sample the two varieties of CLO we use at our house: unflavored and cinnamon tingle FCLO/BO gel.
As far as I have ever known, GP is the only game in town, but a fellow GP user just let me know (after I passed along GP's skate oil subsititution suggestion): "There is a ghee advertised in Wise Traditions which is high in K2 as well.  I read about it in a book called the Calcium Paradox. The author felt it was just as good as the GP product, and much cheaper. I have considered buying straight CLO and using it to make my own blend."  Something I will be looking into!
The WAPF site is currently working on resolving a problem with being flagged ("appears to be functioning as intermediary for distributing malware to visitors of this site"), but once that's taken care of you can get more info there on GP and CLO (try http://www.westonaprice.org/cod-liver-oil/).

US Wellness, Monticello, MO (http://www.grasslandbeef.com/)
My preference is to buy locally and not from Missouri, but they carry items I haven't yet found elsewhere: no-sugar bacon, wild-caught shrimp, liver products like liverwurst and braunschweiger, and primitive snacks I've been wanting to try for years: pemmican and beef jerky.  And all following Weston A. Price principles.

Happy Herbalist, Cary, NC (http://www.happyherbalist.com/)
THE place for kombucha supplies.  I need to make the transition from my batch-at-a-time method to continuous brewing, so I'll be getting a 5-gallon glass container with spigot.  The owner says he does offer group buying discounts, but has yet to get back to me with details.  Stay tuned!

Radiant Life, Santa Rosa, CA (http://www.radiantlifecatalog.com/)
The go-to place for WAPF products, foods, books, etc.  I would like a Harsch crock for making LOTS of sauerkraut and other fermented veggies and am considering a family grain mill.  No word yet about group discounts.  Stay tuned!
