I'm sure this has been asked somewhere but, has anyone ordered from Honeyville? I was looking at the powdered eggs and milk.

I ordered from them a few months ago. Great service. A little pricy, but a lot of peace of mind. Since alot of my posts have disappeared, well se if this one persists. |

I've had a difficult time finding any business in our area including coops and feed/grain stores that carry food grade wheat for grinding. Left a message with our county extension agent. Hope to hear from her in the next few hours.
Purchased several 6 gallon food grade buckets from WWW.myfoodstorage.com and will order mylar bags from sorbentsytems before the day is over.
still waiting for a large order from walton feeds.

Have not tried them yet. I hesitate to open such a large can until I have to. But, the reviews are good FWIW |

My wonderful 21 jars of Manuka honey were delivered today. The sellers added a gift of 2 jars that are 1kg each. Very generous.
Also received 5 - 1# bags of tomato powder and 5 - 1/2# bags of diced, dried tomatoes as well as some seasonings. The 4# cans of ghee that I ordered (4 of them) arrived today too. The cans are dented, but I will probably open them and can the contents in smaller jars for storage. Guess I didn't realize how large a 4.4# can was. |

Today I bought plastic silerware, paperplates, more water, and lots of plastic garbage bags.I have a feeling that the first thing that they cut would be weekly garbage pickup. I remember when they were on strike and we had to double bag everything. It was only a week or so, but not fun.

HappyC ... when you say #10 ... do you mean 10 pound can??? When I was checking the site, it describes:
Each can contains 2.25 pounds of Dried Powdered Egg Whites for Food Storage
Thanks -k
