Where to find bulk grains, beans etc

[Fernandinaquilter]

Looking for a good source, if organic all the better, for bulk rice, beans, steel cut oats and grains etc. since that with fruits and veggies make up,our diet. luckily we have some excellent farmers markets and the local supermarkets here have some good stuff. I am just used to buying this stuff in bulk instead of boxes and bags and thought someone might have found a good local source.

You might want to check Hoovers located in Forest City (or perhaps Longwood). It is very near the large Seventh Day Adventist Church on 436/Semoran Boulevard. Obviously not open on Saturdays.

Thank you for the help. I am used to living around lots of Mennonites who have stores with lots of bulk food, and our local food coop had it as well. Will check out hovers

If you buy bulk...hoping you have sealed containers to keep it all in due to the different critters that are here. We've had weevils in our pantry (come in packed foods). We've taken to either keeping items in our freezer or in sealed plastic containers. We never had this issue in the "north country" that we moved here from.

Hi, I buy organic bulk in Ocala at the Health Food Store - Mother Earth Market I think is the name of it. They usually have very good sales on packaged items. I have never been disappointed with anything I have bought from them.

I just Google the store and I think this is the one we go to -

Mother Earth Market
1917 E Silver Springs Blvd, Ocala, FL 34470
