But not much any more. I find that I herbs (online) is much cheaper on their supplements, lotions etc. than azure. They do not charge shipping with orders over 65. I was placing an order every two mo. or so with azures. I have seen their price go quite high. So, shop around. Even Win co foods has honey and bulk nuts cheaper. Win co will give % off is you buy the full bag. I have bought from them too. But not much any more. I find that I herbs (online) is much cheaper on their supplements, lotions etc. than azure.

I actually know there is a drop off point in Mt. Vernon, I just didn't realize you had to know all the details before ordering, makes sense :) I will have to call my friend who does an Azure order ever once in awhile. I think the base amount is actually around 0 now. Thanks for the info! About the kelp, I'm not sure. I found some chlorella powder on ebay I think I may go with that if I ever hear back from the person who is selling it! :) Thanks Amy! I actually know there is a drop off point in Mt.

×25%=that person only pays …but most co-op
charge a fee like a 0 order will be charged 5% for handling …ouch… soo bottom line i have done very well with out a co-op..

when we got our orders in north idaho we just meet the truck in a parking lot on their route.

currently we get produce dropped weekly by “FULL CIRCLE FARMS” They also have routes in the lower 48. for alaska they take it to alaska airlines and once in petersburg a party takes all the individual boxed orders (about 50) to a pick up spot( a local church gave us an area) and you just go in and get your order… some ppl do azure the same….

But not much any more. I find that I herbs (online) is much cheaper on their supplements, lotions etc. than azure. They do not charge shipping with orders over 65. I was placing an order every two mo. or so with azures. I have seen their price go quite high. So, shop around. Even Win co foods has honey and bulk nuts cheaper. Win co will give % off is you buy the full bag. I have bought from them too. But not much any more. I find that I herbs (online) is much cheaper on their supplements, lotions etc. than azure.

I actually know there is a drop off point in Mt. Vernon, I just didn't realize you had to know all the details before ordering, makes sense :) I will have to call my friend who does an Azure order ever once in awhile. I think the base amount is actually around 0 now. Thanks for the info! About the kelp, I'm not sure. I found some chlorella powder on ebay I think I may go with that if I ever hear back from the person who is selling it! :) Thanks Amy! I actually know there is a drop off point in Mt.

I know the answers!!!!! :o) If you arent part of a co-op, and order less than $200 (you might want to double check that figure) you have to pay shipping. So, try and get some friends together (ordering more than $200 collectively), designate a drop off point along side the I-5 corridor (its sounds like you would be close enough) If you call them, they will walk you through the signing up process and give you a code to give all your friends, to make a drop point. Then it helps to have an extra fridge or freezer, or prompt friends. :o) I am part of a co-op here, and the lady whos home is the drop off point also goes to Charlotte, perhaps something could be worked out.....? In the good old days, before high gas prices, Azure was such a great saving. It really was amazing. There are still great deals to be had, and I have always been satisfied with the produce, ect. But like you said, sometimes Fred Meyer is a good option too. I dont know about the Chlorella powder. Is it like Kelp powder? I have a bunch that your welcome too. I cant take it anymore......:o( Hope that helps, Amy Me!Me!Me! I know the answers!!!!! :o)
