If that's your coop in your avatar, it looks beautiful! I wish I could find some free pallets around here.

Thank you! I love my coop. I found my pallets while I was driving behind some industrial buildings near the rail road tracks in my city... My husband and I 'lifted' about 5 pallets one evening and it took a whole day to break them down! All the pallets had these insane 3 inch nails that have copper wire coiled and imbedded in them like a drill bit...I was astounded by those nails...

Hello new here, looking for info and to chat about the chx's
I'm sure this info is on here somewhere.locally getting/co op Organic soy free feed. What are you doing??? Buying??Spending???
I have read a few meet up for Modesto milling feed ?

I recently ordered from Azure standard their organic feed and will drive to Temecula to pick up.
I paid for 2- 40lb bags Sub Total: $38.40($16.70 a bag)
That's with a $5 handling fee. I will have to pay a $10 fee (for the taking items off truck and storing in his wherehouse,this drop off location apparently deals with aprox. 100'diferent peoples orders . So this is how they do things)
when I pick it up as the drop/pickup location, the owner does not make you have a min. Order amount. As most do of $55-

So.... so far then I up to $38.40 feed + $10 pickup fee +$10 gas to pickup=$58.40
Is there a better way more reasonable way to do this?
Please your opionions and comments.
I live in the Hemet area, and all the local feed stores don't carry,order organic soy free quality feed.
So this seemed to b my only option.???
Thank you for reading

If you don't mind driving to Riverside instead of Temecula, I know the people that run the Azure Standard drop there. No extra fees. Azure does carry a soy and corn free organic feed that costs more than the rogue, but well worth it IMO. Let me know if you want the info for Riverside, and I will send as a message.

If you get your order over $55, you will eliminate the $5 fee from Azure Standard. They offer so much more that just feed! We get lots of our family groceries from them.

I believe I talked to the same lady in Riverside?? but there order amount was not near $550. Which if not than the truck won't stop. So I went with the one in Temecula because they never run into the issue of meeting the min. Order amount. The feed you talking about what is the brand on that? I know the one I ordered is said soy free and is in sale this month??
Thxs

Must be a different person. Stephanie's group meets order minimum every time they order. I am pretty sure they are still ordering every month. I used to run a group in San Bernardino, but when I left, it fell apart.

Oh ok this was a older lady I spoke to!
What is the feed name/ brand you spoke of? Is that what you use?

 

[WildflowerJLH]

I feed the Magill Ranch Cascade feed. It is $28.35 for a 50# bag, but it is soy AND corn free.
