I order bulk food from Azure Standard, which delivers in most of the US. It started locally in OR and I’ve been ordering from them for more than 15 years.
The last few months there is much out of stock. This month I ordered (more) white (unbleached, organic) flour, and all varieties except one was out of stock. Now I find the one I did order is also out. I tried to get buckwheat for 2 months, hopefully this time it won’t be out of stock.
If anyone wants to check it out, just search “Azure Standard”. They started as a wheat farm, have their own mill, and sold locally. Then they got bigger and bigger. It is run by a family.
“...farming isn’t Republican or Democratic, it’s food, the land is neutral..this is the time the American people need to support the American farmer and put pressure on the Biden administration to put things in place to help farmers.”
Well, for STARTERS we could negate all of Brandon’s ‘energy policies.’ Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the price of OIL controls the price of EVERYTHING ELSE - world wide!
We’re so screwed. This isn’t funny, anymore. Dark days ahead. Literally and figuratively. :(
How many bales/acre do you get ?
There are market gardeners who use little or no equipment and produce a lot of food. The problem is, every 50th person would have to be doing that. They don’t grow commodity crops like corn and soy either.
“The problem is, every 50th person would have to be doing that.”
A little hard to accomplish when barely one out of two Americans even knows where food COMES from - other than the grocery store.
And don’t even get me started on people (rich and poor) who don’t, won’t, can’t, refuse to learn how to cook something as simple as a potato.
When the electricity gets shut off, those people will be in the dark, still punching buttons on the microwave, or be staring longingly at the frozen dinners defrosting in their freezers, LOL!
Ugh!
All of Amazon’s prices have gone up. They sucked Us in with free shipping and very low prices for several years, now they expect us to keep buying from them even though other places are now cheaper. I hope people are paying attention.
Maybe Johnny Cougar can write another song about farmers.
But he only does that when a Republican is in the White House.
And then the helpless ones think they’ll come out to where those who have prepped are and help themselves to others supplies.
What a surprise they are in for.
Suggestions:
-Grow your own as much as possible.
-If you need machinery to plant/tend/harvest, look up how to run said machinery using alternatives such as woodgas, and make sure you have the parts ready to go.
-Have off-grid options for things like cooking, cooling, light, entertainment, etc.
-Learn who among your neighbors has useful skills and can be bartered with.
-Be ready to defend yourself from those who choose violence.
$10 Corn Flakes in 2023.
Just went to a local supermarket today; got a box of blueberries and a box of blackberries and a loaf of potato bread: $19.00
If they don’t plant, you don’t eat.
It was 1500 two years ago.
Around 1 and a half per acre, 65-inch round bales.
It’s probably a hobby farm - did it say what they are “producing?” Real farmers do not have time to make tiktok videos. They are too busy working.

Thanks Pollard. That’s what I figured. Selling pies at the “farmer’s” market does not make one a farmer. That makes you a baker that lives on a few acres - lol.
