Azure Standard… is it worth the hype?

all the reasons why you should start buying your food from Azure.

eating well starts with having the right ingredients on hand. you can’t make nourishing meals if your pantry is stocked with junk. sooo let’s talk about one of my new favorite real food sources: Azure Standard!!

if you’ve never heard of Azure, think of it like a farmer’s market meets Costco meets online co-op. they’re a family-run company focused on high-quality, organic, non-GMO foods—plus bulk goods, natural cleaning products, garden supplies, and tons more. and here’s the best part: you can order online (usually once a month) and pick it up locally or have it delivered right to your door! plus there’s no membership you need to sign up for.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set up a free account at azurestandard.com

2. Browse + add to your cart (you can keep a running list through the month, just add to your cart whenever you run out of something and it’ll stay in there until the cut off date) SOMETHING TO REMEMBER: you can still edit your cart even after submitting your order, as long as it’s before the cut off date. BUT this means you won’t get charged until the cut off date AND items can still go out of stock even if you submitted your order, so make sure you check in on it at least once a day in case you need back ups for certain items.

3. Choose a pickup location (called a “drop”), usually once a month in your area

4. Check your email, you’ll get added to a group for your meet up location. Here’s what my email looked like

4. Meet the truck & grab your goods!! You’ll see everyone waiting in their cars for the truck to pull up, then we all just started heading towards the truck. We all got in a line and started helping place everyone’s orders on their name tag, once you have your goods you can leave, but usually everyone stays a bit to help.

After doing some calculations as well, there are some items that are more expensive to buy from azure versus Costco or Sam’s Club, so just make sure you double check with all your local stores if you’re looking for the best deal! I love knowing I can find the best quality of whatever i need from Azure, so this sometimes outweighs buying it a bit cheaper elsewhere!
