    Azure Standard is a co-op full of healthy and earth friendly items. I have bought everything from grains, legumes to dairy. And I have never been disappointed! They have specials every month, and you can check out what other customers buy most.

    It is so easy to make ghee. Based on how much you use let's say 4 pounds of good quality butter, you heat it slowly to a soft boil on the stove until the milk solids start to brown, over time the milk solids will cook and separate and the butter will become clear. That is when you know the ghee is finished. It is also known as clarified butter and will cost a 4th of the price you pay even at azure. There are a ton of videos showing you how to do this. Last time I did it I did 11 pounds of butter I had in the freezer it took about 35 minutes to clarify. Go look for a few videos and you will love the savings.

    FYI, cane sugar is still white sugar. The organic is unbleached and less processed, but still considered white sugar. You should try Rapadura or sucanat if you are looking for an alternative to white sugar, they are delicious but taste more like brown sugar.

    • @TheHappyHomestead

      Thank you for the information!! I try not to use sugar at all, but I will absolutely try your recommensations too. Thanks!

    Just want to mention that not all drops charge a shipping fee. I assume it’s based on how close it is to the home base.
    I love watching Azure haul videos, just to get new ideas to add to our orders. It’s hard to “browse” their website for little hidden gems. Didn’t know about their sour cream... added the 6 pack, and of course my order closed 8 hours ago! 😂

    • @TheHappyHomestead
      @TheHappyHomestead  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh, I didn't know that, that's great information! I'm addicted to Nancy's cultured sour cream. lol

    • @DragonflySailsHomestead
      @DragonflySailsHomestead 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, ours doesn’t charge a drop fee either. We are very fortunate! I watch lots of the haul videos too to get ideas. I agree sometimes it’s overwhelming to figure out what you want that month.

    Word of warning!! Your drop is going depend GREATLY on your drop coordinator! I had my first and last pick up recently! Learning from my mistakes may save you from a tremendous headache!! #1: BE A PEST! Contact your drop coordinator days before the drop to see if there is a time change! Contact your coordinator the day b4 the drop to DOUBLE check if there is a time change for the drop and make sure they add YOUR name/number to their contact list!!! Especially if you are driving any sort of distance! My drop 45-60 minutes away! I unfortunately was NOT a pest and took the coordinators word for it that she WOULD inform me of any changes (MISTAKE!) #2 Place a very small first order to see if this drop is being ran well and if this is something you actually want to deal with in the future! ( TG I did do that!)
    #3 Search online for azure standard "complaints" don't just search azure standard! Also their Instagram is scrubbed ie: they remove complaints!!
    What happened? The coordinator emailed me time of drop ect...I emailed back with my phone # and asked that she PLEASE contact me if their were any pickup/drop delays bc I was driving far! Well 50 minute drive no truck! No people! Texted coordinator she says drop is now 4pm not 2pm! I have to work so I can't stay for 2 HOURS! The coordinator was absolutely impossible to work with getting my stuff! Took multiple texts, phone calls, contacting azure customer service!! I knew right away this going to be bad and asked azure to just refund me so I didn't have to deal with it! NOPE! She had told azure she was going to drop the items off on my porch while I was at work! NOPE! Didn't happen! Never happened!! 2nd day she refused to answer any messages at all! And I had to spend more time with customer support - basically she was holding my items that I PAID for hostage! Mind you I asked her to leave the items 2 miles from the drop at one of my spouses clients! Instead of answering me if she would.. she called the client BEFORE WE DID! The client thought she was a lunatic and of course didn't know what she was talking about! So then she refused to leave it where I told her! ( remember its paid for and belongs to me!)! 2 days of back and forth HELL due to no fault of my own! Finally got my plants she kept my milk! Longer story!! Be warned! Btw she finally left my items at the place I asked her to leave them in the first place!! Also ...she tried to say she told me 4 o'clock until I sent her a copy of the email! I felt like this is some kind of scam she does so people just leave their stuff and she keeps it? Could be wrong!? But I gotta call it like I see it! Fyi Coordinators are NOT paid! So its whomever volunteers!! Azure customer service- first girl actually made things worse!!! 2nd one Hannah was a god send! Ty Hannah you rock!!
    Quality of items? Ask HER about my milk!
    Plants: Pretty good for being in a semi truck for a week! Giving em some tlc now
    Also I think most of the youtubers are paid affiliates but I could be wrong!
