I especially like how you are ever mindful of your son's love for baking & supply him with different ways to be creative. I'm sure this support from you means the world to him.
Hi everyone! I am so happy to see so many people discovering Azure standard! I have been a customer of azure for over 30 years! I live in Washington State and I can't praise them highly enough for their customer service and their variety of products available. They always have the best organic produce and the best bulk products, good deals and I have loved ordering monthly and always look forward to my delivery days! Keep spreading the word and let's keep Azure growing and help them to keep providing healthy foods for the the whole nation! Thank you!
I have found we have went through 25 pounds of oats in three weeks! I love The kids Growing stages and eating healthy organic Goodness! Praying this garden season is Bountiful for you all!
I buy almost all our food from Azure now ever since I started following you on IG a few years ago. It has saved us so much money and we eat better. Love your videos, Jessica!
Wow - an hour to pick up your order. That’s awesome! It’s an hour for us to drive to our closest big box store. We love oats, but with only two of us 50lbs would last a really long time! That’s a really nice haul for $400. Thanks for the links in the description! Take care and be well.
I use molasses too but I don’t make up the brown sugar mix ahead time I just add the molasses into whatever I’m making separately. So if I’m making say chocolate chip cookies I as it in when I add the sugar
I love your hair covering in this video! Would you mind sharing where you get them/how big a piece of fabric (I think I have similar hair to yours) and how you tied it here?
I love AZURE STANDARD... Been ordering for 16 yrs now! You have me a few good ideas, rice noodles, and we are in the same page for others! Bless you and your family!
$400 for bulk food for a family of 9. That is incredible. I wonder what your monthly grocery bill would be if you add up everything: the feed for your animals, maintenance costs for hen houses and such, seeds, soil and all that goes into growing your own food, etc. Would be fair to say your 'grocery bill' for a family of 9 is higher than $400, when adding up all the 'food' costs of homesteading? We are a family of 3, our son being 18, and we easily spend $1,000+ month on food. (Second highest monthly bill behind mortgage). However, we burn a lot of calories, as we are serious bike riders. It's very common for my son and my husband to burn 2,000 calories on one of their 40 miles rides. I also buy only organic beef, pork and chicken through Belcampo Farms, in California, where I live. I wanted to buy as local and organic as I could. They are about 3+ hours drive away from us. Anyhow, kudos to you for being successful and healthy in your meal planning! We also have a lot of local produce around us to buy; tons of strawberries, cherries among others. Possibly, food is more expensive where I live. I enjoy your videos!
Our total between bulk and regular groceries is $700. We also have some bulk fruit and meat purchases not included in there, so if we divided it all up it's probably closer to $1000.
I just ordered from azure standard for the first time this month. Can’t wait to order more. But your grocery budget blew me away!! Please do tell. Do you raise all your own meat/not eat meat? We have 4 kids and I spend way more Then that on our groceries!
I tried Azure last month thanks to you and love their products (I used your link). Question: Do I need to keep using your link every time I order ( I hope you get points or something)?
I love your explanations, thank you! For the yogurt, what non-dairy milk do you use? We have done coconut milk yogurt in the IP with just the milk, probiotics, and later gelatin, so just curious what works for your family, or do you use the coconut milk you make?
Thank you for sharing! Do you get your meat at the store? Or do you do buy whole/half cow, and pastured chickens local farms? We are a family of 9 as well and with 5 boys 5 yr-12 yr old, we go through a lot of meat. We spend about $1200/month on groceries bc we buy everything, and as much organic as possible.~Luiza
I guess cost is dependent I where you live. Food prices vary so much. Where I live I can't beat the Azure prices on bulk organic dried goods, like oats, rice, wheat berries, beans, etc.
Where do you get the 5 gallon food sage storage buckets? I have a couple of local(ish) groceries that sell very cheap in bulk but I'd need to have somewhere to store the very large bags.
@@threerivershomestead Dollar Tree has seeds for 25 cents per pack; they are not GMO. You maybe able to buy on line...I have use that seed company for years and they have been in the seed business for a hundred years...I believe.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Do you freeze things like beans as well? Does freezing introduce moisture to the product? We are doing our first Azure pick up in the beginning of November. I'm pretty excited. You are a huge inspiration!
Freezing doesn't add moisture, but it can cause condensation on the outside of the bag when you pull it out of the freezer. We let it sit for 24 hours to dry before storing.
Thanks for sharing. We've ordered bulk wheat berries and a few other things from Bread Beckers for awhile now, but I'd like to get into cooking even more of our food from scratch and Azure Standard seems to have really good prices. Any advice for getting more into the habit of cooking from scratch?
Azure does not use discounts per se. They do have a monthly Sale Flyer that you can get in the mail, or check their website for their monthly sales and specials. And they always offer discontinued products or clearance products at reduced prices. Plus they offer a point system, I think it's called Azure points, based on the products that you purchase, and that gives you a credit to use on your next order! Their prices are always great anyway so you can't beat Azure! That's what I say! For 30 years I've been buying from them! 💜👍
I hope this isn't rude but I've noticed that you are almost always wearing a headband head scarf thing. I was wondering if it had any significance or you just like wearing them.
Wow $400, and driving an hour each way with 7 children. That's a lot. I wonder if there is something closer to you, or delivery, maybe Costco ? I'm sure you are doing your best, and yes, as your children grow, especially the boys, your grocery bill will go way up :) tfs 😘🐤💐🌵🐣🌷🐇☔🏜️🧁🌞🌼💗
I especially like how you are ever mindful of your son's love for baking & supply him with different ways to be creative. I'm sure this support from you means the world to him.
You took 7 kids of all ages on a 2 hour drive alone? Wow that’s amazing, too bad no one but you can pick up the haul. You are amazing
Curious, what type of vehicle do you have that will fit all of your children, you, AND your Azure standard haul?
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I love Azure and love seeing what other Mama’s purchase. Thanks for the video!
I completely agree with you about scented dish soap! Glad you guys are feeling better.

I just found that we have an Azure drop near us and I’m sooo intrigued. There are 10 of us and I love the idea of this!
Would love to see you do a recipe on the energy bite snacks that you do for your kids the ginger snaps and the yogurt.
Hi! You said that you use molasses to make brown sugar, can you make a video about that? Love your videos!
I will show that here in the future. Thank you!

Your organisation is amazing! I've recently started buying in bulk and am finding it so much cheaper in the long run xx
We go through a ton of oats as well. Loved your haul! 💖
Another well done video 👏👏👏
Picking up my first Azure order tomorrow! I’m so excited! 😁
Loved it. I love Azure hauls so much!!
I love your hair covering in this video! Would you mind sharing where you get them/how big a piece of fabric (I think I have similar hair to yours) and how you tied it here?
I'm amazed you only spend that on gro.. God bless you. I enjoy your vlogs.

I am a mom of ten. We also love Azure.
Are the strawberries 🍓 organic and do you find them to be a good price?
They are more expensive than my local farm, but cheaper than organic at the grocery stores here.
Would love to know how you’re making dairy free cream cheese
I will try to share soon 😊
I just ordered from azure standard for the first time this month. Can’t wait to order more. But your grocery budget blew me away!! Please do tell. Do you raise all your own meat/not eat meat? We have 4 kids and I spend way more
Then that on our groceries!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!💕
Fassanating, thank you for sharing!

I only get credit for when you sign up. So glad you like them!

We use hemp milk and pectin
I would really like a video on how you make you non dairy yogurt. Most my family can't have dairy yogurt
Thank you for sharing!

We raise our own poultry and beef currently. We purchase whole pigs from a friend.
Where did you get your weaved vinyl for your garden with the holes . I’m an elderly lady and I can’t bend over too well . Sick of pulling weeds !
It is linked in my Amazon Storefront
Thank you for your wonderful videos!!
I would love information on your guardian dogs. We are in Michigan so you are local!
Lord willing we will have pups in a few months. Our female is in heat right now.
@@threerivershomestead What breed are your guardian dogs?
Great products but I look at the prices and oh my very expensive!
I guess cost is dependent I where you live. Food prices vary so much. Where I live I can't beat the Azure prices on bulk organic dried goods, like oats, rice, wheat berries, beans, etc.
Can you share the name of the farm you go to buy organic strawberries? I live in NW Ohio and would be interested in trying to buy from them.
JK Orchard and Farm outside of Lima. They are a small farm.
BLESSINGS 💖
Where do you get the 5 gallon food sage storage buckets? I have a couple of local(ish) groceries that sell very cheap in bulk but I'd need to have somewhere to store the very large bags.
Lowe's is where we got ours. Then we used gamma lids with them.
How do you make the shredded coconut into milk? I buy it for granola and would like to learn to make the milk.
I can't find blue lake beans anywhere this year
Seeds are a challenge to source this year!
@@threerivershomestead Dollar Tree has seeds for 25 cents per pack; they are not GMO. You maybe able to buy on line...I have use that seed company for years and they have been in the seed business for a hundred years...I believe.

Do you make your own head scarves and if you do could you please share how you make them?
I have made some before, but most of my favorites were purchased.
Oh ok thank you!
You say you get the organic oats- do you feel it necessary to get gluten free? My son has celiac. Thank you
Nice haul!! Do you have a video for the salves you make?
I believe we made a dandelion salve video last spring.
@@threerivershomestead Thank you
Good video, do you do any Dehydrating?
Yes! I do quite a bit during the fall to preserve produce.
Thanks for sharing. We've ordered bulk wheat berries and a few other things from Bread Beckers for awhile now, but I'd like to get into cooking even more of our food from scratch and Azure Standard seems to have really good prices. Any advice for getting more into the habit of cooking from scratch?
It's all about being organized. You have to plan ahead to make sure meals come together. I did a video on meal planning. 😊
@@threerivershomestead thanks, I'll have to check that out. 😊
I want the molasses you show 😋😋can you please share the link or the brand for me 🙏🏼looks delicious thanks 😊
It's Azure Market brand. The link to Azure is in the description.
Thanks 🙋🏻♀️
Would you show a Sams haul sometime
Sure!
Do you make oat milk?
Sometimes, although it isn't my favorite milk alternative
I wish azure standard served in Canada 😩
How do you store your coconut and cocoa chips
In a glass jar on the pantry shelf.
Just came across your channel. Is all of your baking gluten free? I struggle getting my gluten free baking to turn out right.
I only bake GF sometimes. I'm the only one who can't have gluten, so most of the time I just bake for the rest of the family and avoid it myself.
What is the discount code for Azure?
No discount code, unfortunately

Do you have a recipe for DF yogurt?
I use hemp milk, pectin, calcium powder, and vegan starter.
Can you make a video on how to make cashew milk
Sure!
Thank you so much and god bless you
I hope this isn't rude but I've noticed that you are almost always wearing a headband head scarf thing. I was wondering if it had any significance or you just like wearing them.
I wear a covering for faith-based reasons

Nothing else beats the prices. $400 is well worth it for the quality we get and the amount! I think it's a great deal!
@@threerivershomestead that's all that matters :)
Good lord you are beautiful
You are too kind ❤️
@@threerivershomestead just being honest
