Between Market Wagon, who connects us to local farmers and Azure Standard, we stop shopping for food at the grocery stores. The increase in the number of people showing up at the pickup sites is proof that more and more of us no longer trust the food at the stores. And a great big thank you for expanding into the supplement market, now we have a trusted source.

One woman I follow said her brothers grow organically and she doesn't care for what passes as organic. Her family grows almost everything they eat. They came from the Amish community. I'm also told that even if something is organic and it's shipped across state lines the food is sprayed on the truck to keep bugs from spreading. Glad to hear of your efforts to make sure your food products are safe to eat.

I was raised in Marion County Oregon. Spent the summers running barefoot (we couldn't afford many pairs of shoes so I got used to it) in my Grandpa's field or my back yard picking "black berries". In 2001 I got stationed in the Navy on the East coast. I have tried finding a blackberry that tastes like I remember only to finally find out those "blackberries" I grew up with were actually Marion Berries. I was always so disappointed in the store bought blackberries! I remember telling my husband, "what is wrong with these berries? There's are not the blackberries I know!". I have only tasted Marion Berry twice in the last two decades. One lady was kind enough to send me a jar or Marion Berry jam and then I found that Tillamook cheese factory makes a Marion Berry Pie Ice-cream. I don't buy ice cream much but made an exception just to be able to taste Marion Berry again. Recently I found out Azure sells Marion Berries! I have never ordered through Azures yet but that 5 pound box of berries is in my cart now. As soon as I get paid I want to order those berries. I can not wait to have "blackberries" as I remember them as a kid.

Keep it coming Gentlemen, I'm working on my 3rd pick-up--I am HOOKED on the quality and pricing with quantity. I DITCHED SAM'S CLUB for AZURE STANDARD this year. Azure is 44 miles closer than Sam's each way which pays for the shipping cost that typically I'd be spending in gas to go to Sam's not to mention my journey to the pick-up is country farmland and Sam's is Interstate to Lexington, Ky. city traffic with all the 5G towers I have to pass to get there. CHOOSE YOUR FOOD PRODUCERS & FOOD SELLERS WISELY-keeping it close to my raising and the Good Lords Father God-creator is best for my families eating habits for good health. THANK YOU AZURE, I so appreciate your dedication.

It's more important than ever that we learn about & understand what exactly is going into our foods & how it affects our health. We all need to insist on corporations that risk people's health with dangerous additives being held accountable for their actions. Profits at the cost of the health and well being of people is unacceptable & unconscionable.

If the closest drop off point was not 80 miles round trip away, you would be my first choice. Not enough people in my Western, NY village who appreciate good ingredients over convenience. IMO, what first started out as a marginal hippy alternative, called "Organic", has become essential, given what we now know is being done to many crops.

They are a great company and I’ve bought from them for over a decade but frankly they can barely take care of the routes they have. Your order is supposed to arrive at a certain time and it is very rare that happens. We have to drive an hour to get to our drop and many times we sit and wait 2-4 hours for the truck to come, then drive an hour home. It’s not worth it to order from them in the winter when it gets dark at 4pm and you don’t get home until almost 10 pm.
