Buying in bulk is becoming more of a standard practice in many households as rising prices force shoppers to consider ways to save money at the grocery store.  You’re doing good for the environment with reduced packaging and waste too.  This recent article in the News Tribune in Tacoma, WA helps educate consumers on this trend – http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/02/02/1526883/news-brief-02supersizes.html

Check out our SunRidge Farms bulk items at your favorite grocer and see how good shopping in bulk can taste.

Northern California boasts some fine grocery retailers.  These stores have the advantage of being located near some of the world’s finest agricultural land and an educated population that demands organic and all natural foods.  Mollie Stone’s Markets, with eight locations, has risen to meet this demand.  In keeping with their mission they strive to conduct business with local suppliers.  SunRidge Farms is especially pleased with the partnership that has been established with Mollie Stone’s Markets, http://www.molliestones.com/?page_id=1045

herbicides or sewage sludge; growth hormones or antibiotics in

livestock; food irradiation or genetically modified organisms; and

percent organic ingredients; remaining 5 percent can be approved

nonorganic ingredients, such as citric acid and baking powder, or

approved nonorganic agricultural ingredients when they’re not available

in organic form

Made with organic ingredients: At least 70% organic ingredients. The label must identify both organic and nonorganic ingredients

100% natural; all-natural; natural: Not federally regulated
