How we buy

Where the food comes from

We buy from Caribou County first. When we can't find a local producer for something Consumers want, we fall back to the suppliers below, in this order.

  1. Always first

    Local Providers in Caribou County

    Farmers, gardeners, ranchers, and other neighbors who sign up as Providers. If someone here grows or raises it, we want to buy it here.

  2. Primary

    Distributors, direct at wholesale

    As more Consumers join and pool our money, we plan to buy straight from distributors at wholesale prices.

  3. First fallback

    Rainy Day Foods and CHEF’STORE

    For reliable bulk staples, out of Montpelier and Idaho Falls, respectively.

  4. Second fallback

    WinCo

    For single products when wholesale prices are high or a product is hard to get.
