It took me awhile to see the light. I plugged along for years doing the same time-consuming grocery errands in order to get every foodstuff item(s) my scattered-eating-family required. About half of what I needed at this store – or, no organic apples over here so I have to go over there, zero vegan options for dear-ole-hubby so off to the natural food co-op I go, etc, etc….which equals store numero tres for the day thus far – and I’m not even DONE yet!!!!…..
Does this sound at all familiar?
I swear, if I got all the grocery shopping done within 3 hours that was a GOOD day….😲
But, the light (indeed!) I did find.
What do I mean, exactly? The light is just this, dearest readers: an easy way to get healthy, organic food items for just about EVERY dietary requirement(s) out there – AND, for extremely reasonable prices and delivered to your front door.
AHHHHHHH………the LIGHT!!! 🙌
ENTER AZURE STANDARD!!!!
The amount of time I now save grocery “shopping” (can I even really call it that since I don’t leave my armchair???) is priceless. No packed parking lots, no wonky shopping carts, no screaming children, no forgetting-my-bags-so-I-have-to-buy-new-ones (am I really the only one out there with enough earth-friendly bags for a small country???), no lugging heavy groceries out to the car and into the house….
No, friends: It just comes in a beautifully packed box to my door. In 5 minutes, I have just unpacked nutritious, organic products for the next few weeks for my family. For my more Ancestral diet preferences, for my Vegan hubby, and for my pickiest-eater-EVER-son. 🤩
Azure Standard has answered my tired, over-worked, barely-sane Mama prayers! 🥦🙏🥕
You can thank me later, friends….’cuz I just made your life a whole whoppin’ lot easier. You can actually thank me by entering code: TaraHoward1 – that way the friendly folks over at Azure will know I sent ya!
And, to boot: you are doing something positive with your dollars!
Now, we all know there has been a significant shift in our awareness about modern farming practices. It ain’t pretty, no-it-ain’t. Purchasing every few weeks from my good ole’ reliable friend also allows me to feel good about the choices I make in the food and farming industries and makes me feel a part of a more positive movement.
Not only are they a zero-waste facility (they ship your order(s) in re-purposed boxes to help defend Mother Earth!) – but they can even provide bulk, frozen, or perishable foodstuffs TOGETHER with your other groceries on their special delivery trucks!
The rewards of shopping this way might not be what you are used to, but MAN is it ever worth it for the beyond reasonable pricing, the quality and ethics behind their brand(s), and the ease of click-and-deliver grocery shopping!
What really impresses me about Azure Standard is the fact that they want pure, healthy, organic, and non-GMO foods to be attainable to ALL families and incomes! ❤
They believe – at their very core – that ALL people deserve to have access to food that will not only increase their lifespans, but also make people happier and ensure they are adequately nourished.
I ask you – how can one NOT support this movement?
In a world that seems driven by the almighty dollar, David Stelzer and his Azure Standard family are truly elevating and re-constructing an entirely new-and-improved standard in the marketing and sales of food. I am personally proud to be a customer. How many businesses can you claim this with????
For example, I can purchase everything from organic wheat, rice, beans, veggies and fruits, heirloom seeds, and pastured meats all from one place – WITH a conscious!
For all my dessert making, I now am thrilled to utilize Azure Standard’s Uncommon Carob product line – and the quality of their carob simply cannot be beat! It is the BEST tasting carob I’ve ever had!!! My vegan husband is simply enamored! This fabulous new line-up of products will be hard to not eat up while baking! 😋
Not only can you order environmentally and ethically raised foodstuffs, but Azure Standard also carries a plethora of health and beauty products, loads of household and family products, and even nutritional supplements!
And it doesn’t end there, dears! Not even close! I can also easily order organic garden or outdoor products, and they ALWAYS have fantastic offerings of new products, sale and clearance products, and even offer a great incentive program called Azure Cash!
But perhaps my very favorite thing to do when I visit Azure Standard’s website is to peruse their Recipes section! I find such incredible inspiration there! From what really is perhaps the best ever pesto recipe I’ve tried to yummy Uncommon Carob Mint Chip Ice Cream (I’m obsessed!!!) to a traditional Spaghetti bake that is to DIE for…..well, honestly friends: it practically beats Pinterest!!! And I loooooove Pinterest!
But you can also find informative articles and learn about what products the staff is loving at the moment. Like I said, you feel A PART of the Azure family….
Heck, there’s even a ton of videos and podcasts I’ve enjoyed watching and listening to! I tell ya, I have learned SO much! I’m constantly amazed at just how much up-to-date information the staff acquire for their consumers, and also how completely and utterly INFORMED they all are!
So, what are some of my favorite things to receive each month, you might ask? Well, let me share just a sampling of what I order on-the-regular: salt, my beloved Einkorn from Jovial Foods, all dry foodstuffs like beans and peas, cheese cheese and more cheese (‘cuz, cheese….), all the condiments my condiment-obsessed hubby could ask for, super yummy and organic EVOO, pastured and grassfed meats, Vegan stuff for the husband, dish soap….
I’m guessing you’re getting the picture, here! There is everything y’all could wanna find at Azure!
For me, a total wanna-be-homesteader, there is literally nothing I cannot find or make useful from their massive line of products! I particularly cherish all the wonderful heirloom seeds and organic plant starts they carry!
They really DO have it all!
When I look at and attempt to attain actively living a more substantial life — when I constantly ask myself what I want to look back on and feel proud of, you wouldn’t think grocery shopping would be near the top of that list. But it SO IS!!! 🍎🥑🍞🥗🥩
What’s more important than what we feed ourselves and our families?
What’s more important than supporting independently-owned companies who have a heart and aren’t corrupt?
Aren’t we making a difference when we vote with our dollars????
The unequivocal answer is YES !!!
I believe that the ONLY way to make positive change in our current system IS through making our demands known through the money we spend. And, if we want animals to be raised more humanely, if we don’t want herbicides and pesticides on our fruits and veggies, if we show the current system as a collective group what we want and desire – then they are more bound to give us healthy, quality products!
Azure Standard is a company who is doing just that. There are SO many choices out there in regards to where we source our food. But, why on earth wouldn’t you choose one who maintains ethical choices, attainable prices and ease of delivery, and who – at their very core – are GREAT people????
I challenge you to change it up: give Azure Standard a try. The only reason I say this is because I truly believe you’ll be amazed and impressed. And, the more of you who do switch all grocery shopping to Azure, the bigger impact we are ALL making for our glorious Mother Earth….
Always Here,
