Hello!
This is a reminder that the
Walton Feed Group Order just has about 1 1/2 weeks left before
the deadline!
WHO CAN
ORDER?
Anyone, anywhere can place an order
with us, or you can start a group order in your area. Please email me for
details if you are interested.
DEADLINE
The deadline to turn in orders to
your group leader is September 30th. Your group leader might
have a different deadline for you. Please follow her deadline.
GROUP
LEADER
If you do not know who your group
leader is, you can just send your order to me and I will gladly group it with
the correct group and notify you who your group leader is.
DELIVERY and
BLOG
We are hoping to have at least a
few of our trucks delivered before Thanksgiving. We may end up receiving a truck
or two in early December, depending on how many trucks we actually fill. We will
not have any concrete information until after we turn in our complete group
order and Walton Feed can route trucks and make determinations concerning
delivery. We usually have several weeks notice of a tentative schedule for each
truck, and then we will have 7-10 days notice of exact date and time for each
delivery. If you subscribe to my blog, you will receive email notification of
delivery schedule updates right as I post them. Just type
in your email address where it says "Follow By Email" on the left column.
ATTACHMENTS
There are 3 forms attached. (I cannot attach these to a blog post, so please email me if you need these. macoombs5@comporium.net)
1 - The PDF price list is printable and for your
convenience.
2 - The Excel price list is what you should use to
turn in your order. All you have to do is fill out the contact information in
the top left corner, then type in your quantities. Your order total and weight
will automatically be added up at the bottom of the page. Save this to your
computer, then you can attach it to an email and send it in to your group
leader!
3- What Should I Store PDF - I have attached a form
that states recommended foods and amounts. The first page shows a year supply of
basics for one person. On the second page I broke it down to a one month supply
for one person to help it seem more do-able. This is a great page to copy and
use as a handout! The third page is more info and comments if you care to read
them. May you be blessed as you work on your food storage and family
preparedness. : )
I almost forgot to mention that there are several new items
on the list....Gravies, several Quick and Easy Meals, spice mixes, French
Vanilla Almond Granola (yum!), roasted garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potato
dices, dried golden raisins, storage boxes, clear poly bags, and several more.
And of course, the favorites are still there: Freeze Dried Fruits and
Vegetables, Freeze Dried Cheeses, lots of different whole grains and beans,
Organic Products (now called "Natural"), and a zillion other things! When
comparing prices (especially on freeze dried fruits and veggies) make sure you
compare how much is actually put into the can! I have noticed that several other
companies put much less in their cans (and they won't list how much in in the
can!), so keep your eyes open for that!
SPREAD THE
WORD
There are so many people buzzing about food storage and really
wanting to do an order. Would you please try to email it out to anyone who might
be interested, and let people know about it. Feel free to share it with
neighbors, friends, family, church groups, homeschool groups, etc. With all that
is happening in the world, it's a good time to make sure we have our food
storage and supplies in order. Thanks for all you do to help others be prepared.
I know that we are blessed as we serve each
other!
QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions about this order please
email me and I will be happy to help! Have a wonderful week! Melissa :

P.S. - SWEET NOTE from
someone who accidentally sent this to me instead of her church group. I thought
I would share part of it. It is very wise and timely
counsel!
...I would like you to prayerfully think about your food
storage. The drought is already driving up food prices and so I would really
recommend stocking up now before it gets worse. The Church's Cannery Prices have
been steadily going up also. I would also recommend stocking your freezer with
meat since corn prices drive meat prices and meat prices will skyrocket. If you
think they are high now, just wait. I will again hand out on Sunday some of the
Church's recommended storage items so that you can more effectively plan for the
future and be in line with Church
teachings....
I have a testimony of food storage. It has helped my
family live more economically on a budget and eat more healthy. When you plan
your food storage don't go into debt, but do be diligent that you may attain the
prize and follow the Prophet.... Thanks XXXXXXX (name
