For those of you who are curious. Since I have made the big step to making my own bread each week, I have begun learning the art of buying bulk. It started with the wheat berries of course, but has since grown in variety. My husband has been a big advocate for bulk shopping due to the course of the economy. He feels that it is good to be prepared.
So here is my ever growing list of supplies:
2 - 6 Gallon buckets of wheat berries
1 - bucket of brown rice
1 - bucket of steel cut oats
1 - bucket of rolled oats
1 - bucket of Sucanat sweetner
1 - bucket of organic black beans (our newest addition)
1 - bucket of Real Salt (sea salt & minerals)
Soon to be...5 gallons of local honey!
In addition to dry goods we have purchased a cow from a local farmer. We were able to get this beef, which is grass fed, for $3 a pound. Unfortunately, the next cow will be priced at $4 a pound due to rising costs. Next we will look into chicken!

where do you buy in bulk from?
Hi! I purchased most of my goodies in bulk at a Farmers Market in Dekalb, GA. There are internet sites but the shipping tends to be expensive so that is when I began my hunt for places local to me. I was pleasantly surprised at what had always been there but I had never known about.
