Walton Feed Order - Deadline Change

Hey Everyone!

Because of crazy life stuff (including a car accident and a computer crash), and requests from many of you, I have decided to extend the deadline for this order.
  • Please have all orders to me by May 22.
  • If you do not know who your group leader is, email your order directly to me.
  • Money is due by May 31st.
I do not know where deliveries will be yet. That is determined once all orders are turned in. Just send in your order and together we will determine the best option for you.

Order form is attached. Please read the email below for all ordering and payment information. Thanks so much! Melissa : )


The New Walton Feed Group Order is now OPEN!

Here is the new price list for the 
SPRING 2017 Walton Feed Group Order!

I'm so happy to start this next order!! I am reminded of how important it is for us to do what we can to be prepared for whatever may come. Just doing a little something can make all the difference! Please help spread the word about this order, and let me know if you would like to head up a group delivery. We can have delivery locations ANYWHERE! (Read below.) All are welcome to join our order! Please forward this to anyone you think might be interested. We have less than 6 weeks before the ordering deadline! (Update: Deadline is now May 22)

PLEASE READ
You can order as little or as much as you would like! Walton Feed offers a huge variety of food in #10 cans (about the size of a gallon), #2.5 cans (about the size of a quart), 6 gallon buckets (Super Pails with Mylar liners), and bulk bags and boxes. We get a discount from Walton Feed's retail prices and good truck shipping rates. We will have delivery locations all over the east coast from Florida to New York, and several other areas in the central US and west coast. Anyone can start a group in their area! Groups need a minimum order of 2000 lbs (1 pallet) to qualify for their own delivery. That’s quite easy to do if you spread the word! Let me know if you would like to start a group in your area! We do this order twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

ATTACHED (you are receiving an email from a blog - I cannot attach forms to this. Download from the Facebook page listed below or email me for the forms.)
We have a Facebook page for this order: Walton Feed Group Order  Once you join, click on Files and you will see the price lists you can download.

1 - The PDF Price List is printable and for your convenience only. It can easily be emailed and people can print their own copy. It is in a PDF format, so anyone can open it, regardless of what kind of computer they have.

2 - The Excel Price List is the official price list and 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 under Person 1 column. 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 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. : ) 

DEADLINE AND DELIVERY
The deadline for everyone to have their orders turned in to their group leader is May 9, 2017 (UPDATE: Deadline is now May 22 for everyone).  Group leaders need to have their orders to me by May 13th.  Delivery will most likely be in June and July, but it will depend on how many trucks we fill and where we are in line once the order is turned in to Walton Feed. We will not have delivery information until the order is figured out and organized, and trucks are routed. I will email information about delivery and post it as soon as I have it. 

PAYMENT
There are 3 options for payment: (Payment due by May 31st) I can be flexible a few days if needed. Just let me know.
  • Checks or cashiers checks can be made to Melissa Coombs or your Group Leader. Follow your Group Leader's instructions! Checks cannot be made to Walton Feed. They do not accept personal checks for our large group order.
  • PayPal payments can be sent to macoombs5@comporium.net. Make sure to click "Pay Friends and Family" so I am not charged a fee. PLEASE include your name, phone number and group/stake name in the comments so I know where to credit the payment.
  • Credit card payments can be taken for orders over $200. There will be a 2.5% fee charged. Walton Feed will no longer accept credit card payments for our order. So if you pay by credit card, I will run the card on my card reader, and I cannot personally pay the fee, so I have to add that on. (Please call me with your credit card information. 803-818-1569.) Make sure your group leader knows you are paying me directly with a credit card so he/she can properly account for all payments. I will be bombarded with phone calls and emails near the deadline time, so it will be easiest for me if I take credit card payments about a week after the deadline.

GROUP FOOD STORAGE BLOG!!
I have set up a blog for this order! Those who have ordered can log on at any time and see updates and delivery information for this order! This will make it so much easier for all involved! I would highly recommend for everyone who orders, to sign up to receive email notifications when I post a new update. Just click the link below and type in  your email address where it says "Follow By Email".
You can also read some of my posts about food storage and being prepared and see some of my favorite recipes at:

SPREAD THE WORD
There are so many people talking 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!

Here is a blog post of My Top 10 Favorite Items from Walton Feed
 
GROUP/STAKE LEADERS
We currently have orders in SC, NC, GA, VA, TN, FL, MD, TX, NY, and UT. But we can start an order anywhere! Let me know if you would like to head up a delivery in your area.

These orders are organized by groups in geographical areas (or Stakes). If you need to know who your Group Leader is, please contact me and I will try to get you in touch with the right person.
(UPDATE: At this point, just email your order directly to me if you don't know who your group leader is.) Or just email me your order and payment and I will add you to the nearest delivery location. Also, the spreadsheet is locked to preserve the formulas and you can email me for the password if you are a group leader. That will allow you to copy and paste orders to create a master group spreadsheet. 

If you are a past group leader, please let me know if you plan to head up an order this time or not. If you want to start up an order in your area, email me and let me know and I will help you get started. Thanks for all of your time and service to help others get prepared!

QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions about this order, please email me and I will be happy to help! Have a wonderful week! Melissa : )
