Gee winkers! Trying to get wheat shipped to me is like trying to catch the next flight to the moon!
These are SHIPPING CHARGES ALONE from 3 different companies!:
Azure Standard
-50lbs @ $43.30
-100 lbs @ $132.30
Wheat Montana Farms
-100lbs @ $70.14
Walton Feed
-100 lbs @$83.63
These prices DO NOT include the cost of the wheat!!!
-sigh-
There is a Mennonite Community that I have purchased from the last few times. She charges me her rate, no shipping. But they are about a 45 minute drive or so.
I just found another lady who is closer but she wants $50 for 50 lbs of wheat and I usually get 50 of hard white and 50 of soft white.
again, -sigh-
I better start saving up for my own wheat field sounds like!

Wow! You can order anything these days.
Have you checked to see if the Bread Beckers deliver and have a co-op in your area.I am in Florida and we have several through out the state.You can google them and find a link to the website.If you poke around for a few minutes you will find a link to see if there is a co-op in your area.Everyone shares the cost of shipping.I LOVE it.Hope it works for you.Kristin
I would go to the Mennonite Community with the 45 min. drive!
I am blessed to have a co-op group that orders from Azure Standard. But I still have to drive 45 minutes to the drop spot, which happens to be in a parking lot. But I think it is definately worth the drive to have freshly ground wheat, but everything is a long drive for me.
I always have at least 200 pounds of hard white wheat stored in my pantry.
Thanks Kristin, I will look at that!
WOW Marnie! That's a bunch of wheat!!! I would love to have that much around! lol
