1. Grow your own natural organic whole foods. Yes, with some pots you can grow tomatoes in your house even if you don’t have a garden. Also it is a proven fact that spending the time to have a vegetable garden for your family is not only a great value, it is also very best natural organic whole foods you can possibly get.
2. Go to local farms or farmer’s markets. In America we grow a lot of food, and there really is a lot of food grown near where you live I am sure. If you make relationships with local growers, you can get food directly from the source and this will not only save you money, the fresh food will be as good as it gets in a lot of cases. You can ask the grower about their growing practices and be reasonably sure that even if they aren’t certified organic, their product could be as good as anything out there in the natural organic whole foods community. Local vegetable stands and farmer’s markets are a good place to find these farmers and local food growers.
3. Buy from a bulk food “buyer’s group” like www.AzureDelivery.com and you will be able to save 20-30 percent on natural organic whole foods over your local grocery story or whole foods market. If you live in Utah or Southern Idaho you can go to www.AzureDelivery.com for more information about ordering from this company.

I hope these tips help you and your family accomplish the objective that we should all share in good times and bad times. Get the best value in all of your natural organic whole foods purchases.

To your Health,

According to a recent press release by the Organic Trade Association, U.S. sales of organic products, both food and non-food, reached $24.6 billion by the end of 2008, growing an impressive 17.1% over 2007 sales despite tough economic times.

 While the overall economy has been losing ground, sales of organic products reflect very strong growth during 2008. “Organic products represent value to consumers, who have shown continued resilience in seeking out these products,” said Christine Bushway, OTA’s Executive Director.

 We can verify that this trend continues here in 2009 by looking at our how well Azure Standard sales have been though the Utah and South Idaho route. Every year for the past 5 years more and more people have discovered that buying natural organic whole foods makes sense both for our health and our pocket book.

 Organic foods keep our families healthy and keep us away from the expensive doctors and dentists that are happy to take a big chunk of most families monthly income. See Michelle Stewart’s article on Healthy Living in the spring issue of the Harvest Source Whole Foods Journal, and I believe you will be convinced.

 All you have to do is go to the home page www.HarvestSource.com and fill out your name and e-mail and after you confirm you will be e-mailed the link to the digital version of the magazine. Or if you are a www.AzureDelivery.com customer make sure you ask for a magazine when you go pick up your Azure Standard order this month.

It would seem to us in Utah and South Idaho that our local government understands our communities’ food storage goals and how natural organic whole foods fit into this plan. So one would hope something like this would never happen here, but how much can we trust our government who will perform a raid like this over the question of licenses?

Watching this video makes me wonder if we should be concerned about what policy makers in Washington D.C. might try to do to control organic farming and distribution. How is the current administration going to effect natural organic and whole foods? Could something like this happen to our friends at www.AzureDelivery.com? We have no idea what the future holds, but if anything I would hope this video helps us all to realize how important our food purchases can be.

This reminds me that we should always keep our pantries stocked as effectively as we can afford to because we never know when the supply we count on could be shut down for some reason. All of the members of the Manna Storehouse effected by the video above have lost their source for natural organic whole foods for more than 5 months now, and who knows how long the court case will last or when or if they will get their food stores back, or be compensated for the damages caused.

As for me I’m going to go and make sure boost up my May order for organic food storage products from Azure Standard.
