I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally WISH I had the room to make up the rest of the order.. Unfortunately, both my little 5 and 8 cubiic chest freezers are filled to the rim. :( But, next time you guys order.. PLEASE let me know. I will definitely get down on that order for sure.

Thanks so much for getting this set up!

You would have to fill me in on how to order, what I can order, is there any type of list or form. I went to the web site and was looking.

PM Julie your email address and she'll send you this weeks list. Gives you an idea and then when we get closer to ordering, we can get a fresh list.

Well, if you ever do want to take 41, let me know and I can meet you somewhere along the way. I live on 41 and Naples is about 80 something miles away. So we could possibly meet somewhere in the middle....of the Glades...hahaha....but it may cut down on gas costs for you. (Have you seen the prices??!?!)

It really is not that much out of my way to do that...besides, I'll just load up your goods and the hoodlums in the car and we'll go for a little day trip. So, whenever you decide to take the scenic route, tell me, I'll meet ya.

Hey! Sorry it took me so long to respond - have only been on DFC through my phone the past couple days, been super busy! Thanks for forwarding Chocx2 the price list, Serenity; and Chocx2, let me know if you're interested in ordering, how many pounds you estimate you'd be ordering, and would you be able to order & store enough to last two months? We are all going to try to stock up for at least two months, to minimize the orders. However everybody is welcome to order as much or as little as you want, obviously. :tongue:

Looks like this is going to work out nicely! :smile:

Julie, been talking to Chocx2 in email and PM and they are interested in ordering and she said about 100 lbs so that is GREAT! Mentioned to her it would be for about 2 months at a time unless we start getting more people...then maybe we could do a once a month thing...??

So between you, me, Chocx2 and 3Muskateers, I think we very well can order soon. And then Adrian will be on the next order. And hopefully, we can find more to join. I think, missy, you may very well have created a Miami co-op.

Yay!!! So stoked - wish I could say more right now but unfortunately I'm one of the idiots sitting in H&R Block at 10:34pm the night taxes are due... listening to screaming children and finding out I get no return. Sigh... just one of the perks of being a procrastinator! ;) Tomorrow I am OFF work and will be sending out a mass PM to all of you to figure out when will be the best time for us to put in the order (when everybody will be ready). Can I just say YAY! one more time?

Don't worry, I'm the idiot that went to the post office for some regular postage without knowing what day it was... Ack!

On another note, any chance I could get the prices list? :biggrin:

quick questions, my first time ordering like this. Do you order by the pound or by case? and are the orders packed individually? Who do I need to give my order to? And it may be more than 100lbs?
Sorry about the questions I'll get better after the first time.:)

I don't know, I don't know, Julie, I don't know.

Just kidding...seriously, this is my first time as well. I think Julie is going to get a new price list and then send it around and that list should have on it how we order, how it's packaged, etc. (Julie, maybe you could ask Harvest Meats this...or someone who has ordered from them before would know?)

As for how much, at this point, we are ordering for two months at a time. However much your dogs go through in a month, double that. So, for example, my zoo goes through about 90 pounds of food a month. (Meat, bone and organ) I will then be ordering about 180 pounds of food. (I will be keeping in mind that not all of it is "meat" per say, some will be organ and some will be with bones.)

For this first time around, I'm going to stick to that number, see how well that works and either order less or more, the next time.

Also, I'd like to know how we are going to get the money together...I assume we have to pay when we order, right?

Oh! Did I not forward it to your email? I'm sorry... I know you PM'd me your email, I'll forward it to you right now (prices have changed for this week - I have last week's price list, but it'll still give you an idea on the prices). & LOL, I once used the excuse "I have a Dr.'s appointment, can't make it into work" on a Sunday. Talk about stupid.
