Sprouting Seeds

[Th3Boss]

I was wondering where everyone else got their bulk supply of seeds for sprouting. I live in the US.

I buy our organic alfalfa and red clover through Azure Standard. I buy our organic sunflower seeds (with hulls on) through Sprout People (these I sprout then plant in dirt for sunflower greens).

I have in the past purchased mine from the health food store. They can order it in bulk and save me money on shipping because they always have a shipment coming in. They also give me a 5-10% discount on the price when I order in bulk. Though I'm going to be checking out Azure Standard which I learned about roughly a week ago. It sounds like they have good deals.

We order so much through Azure Standard! We're not far from them, about 3 hours. I'm so glad we're on their route. Love not paying shipping charges. We're juicing oranges right now from them, 38# box of organic for $23.

I don't mean to hijack your thread Th3Boss - just getting info out there about Azure ~ ~

Thank you so much for the info.

Azure is great! We live within 4 miles of the drop point here. Much further away so we pay 8.5% shipping but when you are getting over 100 lbs of stuff it's cheaper than UPS. I've almost finished our 38 lbs of oranges from last months delivery. LOL Cheap way to get glass jars for storage and sprouting as well.

We have lots of seeds from them. They have a pretty good variety. Next month we're ordering 25 lbs of oat groats for raw oatmeal. :)

I live in WI, USA. Is there any places that does free delivery and at least cheaper delivery?

[SunshineMN]

Oh wow, Azure goes all around WI but not actually to anywhere in WI. That's too bad. :/ Maybe contact them if you are interested and see if they have something in the works for you guys? They deliver here to MN and just added Illinois and Indiana this year, just not WI. Really, the 8.5% isn't much at all considering shipping then for 25 lbs of oat groats is $1.60 if delivered by their truck. Try to get that price anywhere else! Of course they do have minimum orders per drop point but if you get several families together it's not that hard to reach $550.

http://www.bulkfoods.com/seeds.asp has raw seeds and nuts (and a lot of other things that aren't good for you!). I added 5 lbs of sunflower seeds to a cart and it said basically if I ordered $75 shipping would be only $5. Shipping to WI is 2-day UPS. I had been going to order from them until I found Azure Standard. They also have a BBB link on their website that says they've only had 13 complaints and all were resolved. I do not have any personal experience with them, I just did a lot of research to find good prices online. Azure beat every place hands down for price and shipping for us personally. The only problem with Azure is sometimes you don't get what you ordered because it goes out of stock and their website doesn't let you know at times. They are getting better at that.

I sent an email to Azure's customer service 3 days ago and have yet to hear back from them at all.

[SunshineMN]

Give them time. The customer service people might have to contact someone higher up since WI isn't included yet. They've always responded to my emails. :)

I've never emailed them as I always call. Can you call? We're 2 hours earlier out here from you...

[Th3Boss]

Still have yet to hear back from them. What other places is there for ordering in bulk that has good prices with free or good shipping prices also.

[walnutty]

I called and left a message with my city cross streets and they called me back within 48 hours! Unfortunately, then don't have any drops near me...

[Th3Boss]

I got a hold of their customer service and to get it delivered by truck I would have to drive 3 there and back to pick it up or pay a lot to get it shipped to me. Any other places that does cheaper shipping on bulk orders or that I would be able to pick up that wasnt as far away?

[SunshineMN]

Did you check out Bulk Foods (http://www.bulkfoods.com/seeds.asp)? Also Nuts Online (http://nuts.com) has lots of raw seed and nuts but I think they are a bit more expensive and I'm unsure of their shipping charges.

I've had great experience with them for many years!!!
You do have to buy a pound of whatever but they do also have sampler packs.
