salt and other food related questions

Can you state which foods they were? That may jog some memories.SOme of the top of my head are:

I know I get my coconut oil from Tropical Traditions: http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/

Cultures (though many times you can create these yourself or receive free from others who have extra): http://www.culturesforhealth.com/

Real Milk locator: http://www.realmilk.com

Pastured foods: http://www.eatwild.com/products/index.html

U-Pick farms (they designate organic ones): http://pickyourown.org/

Check with your State farmer’s market bulletin, too. I found an awesome organic blueberry farm this year by looking through the online u-picks.

If you aren’t privy to a co-op, then you can get bulk herbs, teas and spices from Frontier http://www.frontiercoop.com/

or Mountain Rose Herbs  http://mountainroseherbs.com/

SOme co-ops to choose from:

UNFI: call them at one of the numbers here: http://www.unitedbuyingclubs.com/Contact.htm

and they may be able to tell you of a buying club within a good location of you. Just tell them you’re looking for an existing buying club near you and are there any accepting members currently.

As for the salt-I’m sure there are mineral differences  and color differences. But as far as using them, I’d be content with either and so I’d get the one where I can get the most for the lowest price.

For equipment: Pleasant Hill Grain- http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/

If your in TN, GA. or FL. then you can get awesome, grass-fed orgnaic practicing (though isn’t certified) meat at Pleasant VAlley Farms delivered 2-3x a year.

There’s a lot of good, grass-fed farms out there; the key is finding one as close to you so you can assist the loal farmer and economy while proving the best for you, your family and assist in good stewardship of G-d’s earth.

I can’t think of anything else right now. I’m sure others will chime in.

I think US Wellness was another website mentioned by someone before. http://www.grasslandbeef.com/StoreFront.bok

Also, if you have a Trader Joe’s, you can get grass-fed gr. beef, albeit from Australia; but it’s a good last resource if you can’t find a local source or American sources are too much to order.
