Azure Standard is really the only local (that I know of) bulk food company. When I say bulk, I am talking you can buy 1000s of pounds of wheat, beans, etc. and generally for a fair price.
The problem with them is they cannot actually tell you if something will ship when you order it. There is a fundamental flaw with their ordering process in that a) they cannot see if something is truly in stock and b) even if it is in stock when you order, there is no guarantee it will be in stock the day the shipping truck is scheduled to deliver it.
If something isn't in stock the day of delivery, then that item is canceled (without any notification to you) and you have to reorder, once again rolling the dice.
If that isn't bad enough, the last order of bulk organic corn we bought had a lot of rocks and black stem pieces and black kernels. It probably was just a bad bag, but honestly after not receiving half a dozen items over the last couple of orders, I am pretty much done with them and will no longer recommend them as a place to do business with.
