we have ORGANIC almonds in the group buy now
Just added a new item, ORGANIC almonds. You can get (with a 100 lb. minimum) regular shelled almonds for $3/lb. Or for $4/lb., you can get 50 lbs.
But now for $5/lb., we can get you ORGANIC, truly raw and unpasteurized almonds (from Spain–impossible to find from California). I have not seen these for less than $8/lb. anywhere.
I personally use regular almonds, and I soak them and discard the water before dehydrating. Your choice. You have to set your price point where you are comfortable based on your budget, paying for organic. My own personal price point is that I’m willing to pay up to 50% more.
Please note the dried apricots and shredded coconut in the store are now ORGANIC and unsulphured.
I pay $100 for 12 jars of raw almond nut butter, so I’m thinking, as soon as I get a kitchen set up, I’m going to be VERY happy joining in these organic, raw group buys! (I just bought a freezer…which takes a month for it to arrive to the island…but I’m so excited to start this journey!)
Hi is it ok to remove the green leaves from cabbage and freeze them? They say you will lose the vit C content as soon as you tear the leaves.
Are plastic freezer containers a suitable alternative to bags/
Is it safe to store ‘bottled’ tomatoes in the freezer? THANKS!
Is the minimum on the raw almonds from Spain also 100lbs?
Thanks for the update on the apricots & coconut! I was waiting for that info before I placed my order.
robyn, a couple of questions about PUMPKIN;
Can I add raw pumpkin, peel and all to my smoothies???
Can I freeze raw pumpkin for smoothies???
YES! Peel and all. Put some cinnamon in, very “warming.”
Use that pumpkin, steamed and pureed, for whole-wheat pumpkin waffles (soooooo good) in Ch. 10 of 12 Steps.
Minimum on ORGANIC almonds from Spain is 50#.
Yes, freeze the cabbage leaves and NO, it doesn’t lose all its Vitamin C.
I freeze pureed tomatoes in bottles and use them many months later, all the time.
since you’ve already said the other items are GROWN organically, just not certified, why bother getting the other ones? Are you saying they’re conventional??
Please answer the other questions I’ve asked on here and emailed regarding:
Can you please find out if your walnuts and chia seeds are organically grown, even if not certified? also the other products like sunflower seeds. Thanks.
I freeze pureed tomatoes also, but store them in Ziplock quart freezer bags–making them very flat, which pushes the air out. This makes them a lot easier to store and takes up less room in my veggie-crowded freezer. We just finished using our Romas from last year’s harvest just in time for this year’s harvest. This year I’m mixing them with pureed tomatillos so they will be instantly ready for homemade salsa (Shelly Young’s recipe). My husband loves it!!
I am anxiously waiting to hear from anyone in the Arvada, CO area or surrounding areas about joining me in a food co-op.
Please contact me at my email: rusems@msn.com.
Thanks, hope to hear from you-all.

Hi Na,
Please assume they are conventional as we cannot prove otherwise.
Have great day!
Because I cannot vouch for anything being organic, and we are working with more than one rancher. You must assume that, worst case scenario, the almonds have been sprayed before they were shelled. They are technically conventional. I did not say they are grown organically but not certified.
I would like to hook up with those from DALLAS/FORT WORTH area for a group buy. I noticed two people interested from this area, but they did not leave their e-mail addresses. Here is mine: granda@flash.net
I see on the purchase form that you can choose LOCAL for pick up. Where are you located? I can’t seem to figure that part out! LOL.

You will pick up in Lindon UT. You will be emailed with the address when the time comes closer if you are picking your order up instead of having it shipped. Have a great day!
I placed an order for the group buy a few days ago and it said it would send me a confirmation email but I haven’t gotten it. Is it working OK? Did you get my order?
I’m looking to purchase a few pounds of Almounds plus other items when available.
