I speak about the shipping in the video. I go over shipping costs at 20 minutes into the video. It was included in the price of the haul. This is a complete, accurate comparison. I really wish that there was more support for each other in this space and less of other channels tearing each other down. I never go on other channels and make negative comments. Please think before you write. Try being kind. Just a thought.

I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

Thank You! I hope your coop will serve you well!! The metal trim around the door openings are held in place with roofing screws. The trim pieces are actually the "J" channel that came with the roofing tin that protects the edges. I just repurposed it to trim around the doors. I hope this answers your question, if not let me know! Glad to help

Hey sweet lady! Sorry for the late response. Things have been a bit crazy here. I am just starting to get back into the swing of things. I need to head over to your channel to check out what I have missed. Hope y’all had a great Thanksgiving!

@ No worries at all! Totally understand. We’ve been experiencing a lot of chaos this month. Hope you all are enjoying this holiday season. 🌻

Hey Rachael! Thanks for watching! You guys stay blessed!

Wow! You guys get opening day off? That is awesome! Hope the football team did well! I would love to see a moose ❤️. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!

@@Thehomesteadinghills The football team place first in state for their division!

Thanks for watching. You are lucky to have choices when it comes to quality food. I can not tolerate foods that are not organic. I have a medical condition where I am unable to process out toxins. So for me it is imperative to get the cleanest food possible. I also have not received any “kickbacks “ from Azure as no one has clicked on my link. I have made no money back for doing this video. I did my original Azure video to get folks to think outside the box when it comes to sourcing their food. This video was a request from a subscriber. I personally don’t plan on being a grocery haul lady.

Thanks for watching. My Azure Standard drop is about 1 mile from our local Walmart. We have a car that gets 45 to 50mpg. It cost me $0.10 (10 pennies) more to pick up our order. So for us it is not a significant consideration. I hope that you are able to find a drop closer to you. I believe that you can sign up to be a drop coordinator? You might look into that on their sight?

I hope you give them a try 😊! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for sharing this information! That’s a really great deal on some awesome bread! I really appreciate you taking the time to share ❤️. Thank you so much for watching!

This is such a great recommendation! Thank you so much for sharing! Thank you for taking the time to watch ❤️.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching. The cost for shipping was added into the cost cited in the video. I took that into consideration. Shipping was factored in. The difference in drive time for us is 3 mins and about a mile distance. We have a vehicle that gets 45ish mpg. It adds .11 (11cents) to the cost. You are fortunate to have the ability to shop at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Sprouts! We literally have Walmart, Harps, and the Dollar General. Our Walmart is not a super center so it doesn’t carry many organic options. It doesn’t carry any pasta that I can eat. So, for us for many items that we use our only option is Azure Standard. We do have an Aldi about an hour’s drive from us and a Costco 2 hours away. But there both those options take much more time and gas money. And again Aldi doesn’t have many items that aren’t fortified.

@@Thehomesteadinghills Yes, EXACTLY! So many folks don't live near to organic/non-gmo-centric markets, and that really makes the azure option attractive. Even WITH those markets only about 30 minutes from me, I usually go for azure bc of the convenience AND the fact that they are small-farm-centric and, not for nothin', but Oregon hasn't been b*stardized yet by any toxic spills or accidents, really, so I trust the produce coming from there more than from here in the SE part of the country. Thanks again for your great & thoughtful content!

@@mimiashford5544 yes! Love this 💕💕💕! Thank you!

I saw the pig too, or several. When I visited them this last Spring I enjoyed every minute of every day!!! This is my son's family.....I'm a pretty proud mama!!!

Those hogs were the first we've seen up here. There are wild hogs around these parts and people do hunt them. These were the first we have seen up on our mountain.

Where are you located in phx that the stores are that far away?! I’m in Goodyear

@@amandagopinath6351 Happy Jack. 35min south of Winslow. Tall Pines & winter, like Flagstaff

That's most people who are not influencers.

Wal mart workers make more than some factories. My daughter works there and she was making more per hours Than i was making at a factory where I was topped out. They here great benfits.

Hey there! So good to see you! The shelters that Kevin built were not that expensive and the cost to feed isn’t that bad. But, if I was looking at goats strictly for property management I would pass. Kevin I think would still want a couple, but I could live without them just fine 😉. I much prefer the sheep.

Hey there pretty lady! Hope all is well in the UP. Jack is healing, though still on restriction. We have been so swamped that we haven’t had much time to deal with the Violet situation. She lets herself in and out of the fenced area with the other does whenever she feels like it. It won’t be a problem for a couple of more weeks when Jack can be off leash again. She teases him relentlessly. What all do you guys have up there for predators? I know bears, but what about big cats and wolves?

The recipe I have just called for 1 gallon of milk. The only thing that I wonder about is the difference in fat content. Goat milk doesn’t have as much fat. If I had a good, affordable source of goat milk I would give it a try. I will probably try it this next spring after the goats kid, when we are back in milk. 😊

Good morning ❤️!

I am so glad that this was helpful for you! I hope that you enjoy Azure Standard as much as we do!

Awe thank you! Good to meet you! I am so excited for you to try it! You are so fortunate to have a drop so close to you. Thanks for stopping by and watching and God bless you too!

Thank you for watching! We hope you try it and enjoy it!

We have the same issues at times with certain items here. Butter has been difficult to get before it sells out in the winter months. I ended up stocking up this summer and freezing some for the winter. Every month there is usually a couple of items that sell out before they ship to us. I agree that it is super frustrating. To remedy the frustration we just have had to be adaptable. Last month I had to order something from Amazon (not my favorite thing). We definitely understand. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts and watching! It helps to share a bigger picture ❤️.

That is so exciting! I hope you enjoy Azure as much as we do! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

Thank sounds awesome! We haven’t tried that yet, but now we will 😊. Thanks so much for this! ❤️

Thank you so much! We hope you love it!

It is sooo much better ❤️!

That’s no good about the tortillas. They are really good! Would not have been on our radar if we hadn’t watched you guys 😊. Love your channel!

@@Thehomesteadinghills thank you so much! Really enjoying your content. Keep it coming! We love the tortillas too. Enjoy!

This milk is straight from the cow. But, you can absolutely use whole milk from the store 😊. Give it a try with store bought whole milk! Thank you for stopping by and commenting!

@@Thehomesteadinghills I don't know where else you can buy it but Whole Foods by me sells low heat pasteurized non-homogenous milk. I take it that would be a great substitute from farm fresh, and am assuming which is non pasteurized non homogenized milk. I do have a farm a little over an hour away to get farm fresh raw milk. But am afraid how long I can have it unrefrigerated for.

You can substitute lemon juice or white vinegar for the citric acid. It might impart a slightly different flavor, but should work. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thank you! Thank you for stopping by and watching!

This shelter holds 3 goats comfortably. They all stay dry in inclement weather conditions. Thanks for watching.

Great question! Our Azure drop is 2 miles from our local Walmart. We are fortunate to have a vehicle that averages 49 mpg (a diesel Volkswagen). I did the math and with current gas prices it would cost us 0.14 (14 cents) more to get to our Azure pickup. I appreciate your comment so much as I will be sure to put this in our next haul video! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! It means so much!

Great score on the jars! Love it! Our Costco is a two hour drive as well. Yes the garden thing is a challenge. But, I know both of us will figure it out! I don’t recall if you mentioned it, but do you guys have a high tunnel/green house to extend your growing season? That is one thing we need here. We considered the UP. (Just didn’t make it that far north in our property search 😉). It’s so cool to hear y’all’s experience.

Oh my! What a small world. I wish we would have got to meet you guys before we all moved! Kevin was born in Yakima and grew up in Kennewick. His family still lives there. I don’t really miss the desert or the WA state leaders, but I do miss family. I also took for granted how accessible supplies were.

@@Thehomesteadinghills I was also born in Yakima. I knew nothing but irrigated desert so I had nothing to really compare it to lol. Unless you count the times I escaped to Cali, Ore, Wy, etc for a week or two! I do miss the minimum wage and all the shopping available. I really miss WinCo! I loved buying in bulk especially my spices! I miss my family and friends but like you I do not miss the leaders in WA! From what I understand Inslee is suppose to retire this year. What I do not miss is the crime, homelessness, and drugs! We don't even have graffiti in our city! Washington State is falling apart! Cost of living is way too high!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you and thank you for stopping by!

Thank you sooo much! God bless you guys too! Thanks for watching.

Yes! Adam’s is awesome ❤️.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those in the states affected by the hurricane. We try to stay stocked up with the hope of being able to help others if something happens here. Scary times for sure.

@@Thehomesteadinghills Back where we lived in Washington according to my friends and family the Costco is out of water and Toilet paper. A repeat of the Pandemic! And the dock worker strike didn't effect west coast docks! We also have a nice pantry as well for just in case times.

We have been using their jars and their lids. So far they have worked really well for us. No concerns or issues. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thank you
