Indiana co-ops???

[MomOf4]

The post about bulk buying reminded me to ask this...does anyone here in central Indiana know of any co-ops for buying bulk?

If not, I would also like advice on starting one.

Thanks!

I think there is one in Bloomington but I don't know the name.

We have two in SE Indiana. They would probably deliver to your area as well if you wanted to organize it.

www.somethingbetternaturalfoods.com - minimum order is $450
www.naturalfarms.org - not sure what the minimum is

We also have an organic produce co-op, but not sure where that food originates from. PM me if you're interested in that, and I can get you the number of the woman who runs it.

I Live in NW indiana...there is a shop in Chesterton where you can buy bulk. I've not been tehre yet but a friend of mine was telling me about it.

Here in Lafayette/West Lafayette we have two "organic" shops. Nature's Pharm and SunSpot. You can buy what you want bulk.

AND there is a market in Williamsport that is run by Amish or similar where you can get bulk. Same goes for down near Rockville.

And Odon and Montgomery and Arthur, Illinois.

I just go there when I want bulk stuff like cook-type chocolate pudding or such.

It's just pretty much ME now, so I don't need that much...
