Anyone else have any to add?

 

Hey Natalie!!

Can you add Raw Feeding Miami to the list for South Florida?

Www.rawfeedingmiami.com and rawfeedingmiami@yahoo.com

 

I'm surprised you guys didn't know about these groups a long time ago! I've belonged to the WA/OR group for awhile now. Makes it real economical.

 

I thought about it when I convinced my aunt to switch her two dogs over to raw and she lives in Seattle. So I did a search for co ops in/near Seattle and found several for her to join to help get her started on the switch.

I never really thought about joining a co op group until then...its just really easy to find meat at a reasonable price in Denver. I think the only reason why we would join is to go in on a group buy on a whole cow or something, sharing game meat, etc.

There really isn't a good list anywhere that I found of all the raw feeding co op groups, so I thought it would be nice for them all to be in one spot for people switching to raw on this forum.

 

Hey, I see that Ania's mommy posted a private message about co-ops in WA, so sorry I didn't get to it as I'm on vacation in Hawaii,:biggrin: and just now got to a computer.

 

Hey, you can't believe the stuff I can get on the list; whole dead goats, whole fur on or fur off rabbits. Heads, of different animals etc. Good stuff.........................................

 

More reason to spread the word by posting the list :wink:

 

WOOT!!! Stickied :biggrin:

Thanks to whoever did that one!

 

That'd be me and your very welcome. Thanks for the great post.

 

Of course! I actually lost it all once about half way through and almost thought about giving up, but I started over anyhow...glad I did :biggrin:

 

Ummm I may sound stupid here, but what's a raw feed co-op?

 

It's where a goup of people get together and buy food in large quanities to save money. Sometimes the group grows into several hundred people. Often you can get some pretty exotic meats through a coop.

 

It's also a place like this to gain support and knowledge on nutrition. And how to make
it affordable! We have yet to make an order with our coop but have been paying close attention!

 

I can usually find foods cheaper than what the coops sell them for but the coops have foods you can't hardly buy anywhere else such as kangaroo and emu.

 

Does anyone know of any in Oklahoma...Im close to wichita falls texas

 

I personally don't, but you can do a search on yahoo for one. That is what I did when I made the list. I may have missed a few. About 3/4 of the way thru posting the list I lost everything! So I had to post it all again, but I did it fast LOL

 

I'm late, but I have another one to add:

www.socalbarf.com

It's not a BARF method group, they don't actually pick a method, they just supply raw meat for CHEAP! I'm a member, and I love it! Tons of stuff. And they have a nice referral program

 

co-op

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? All these list go to Yahoo and I'm getting alot of cookies on my computer from them. Or maybe I'm just not use to the differnt forums? Any suggestions:

Sorry I'm pretty new at this stuff and live in Florida.

Cookies aren't anything you need to be afraid of. They simply store some data on your PC about the websites you visit. They're not harmful in the slightest

 

I wouldn't worry about Yahoo. A few years ago that was about the easiest place to start a group and the new groups got a lot of exposure. Yahoo is a reputable company and I wouldn't worry about cookies from them. If you see a co-op that interests you, don't hesitate to join their Yahoo site and get more information.

 

Does anyone know of any in the Sacramento area?

2 more co-ops

There are 2 more co-ops in the San Francisco area:

Welcome to the San Francisco Raw Feeders Website! - Greater San Francisco area. 2 deliveries per month. Freezer sales open to public.

Welcome to the Fremont BARF Co-op Website! - California East Bay, Peninsula, Sacramento area

 

Hi everyone,

Well, I'm in Melbourne Australia and I can't say that there are any co-ops here that I have heard of.

You are all so fortunate to have that available.

I was wondering if someone can give me a heads up about how I might start my own co-op group if I wanted to or get my hands on some discounted meat if I can't find other interested parties.

Who do you approach to buy the meat, bones and organs?

I'm at a bit of a loss where I would even start.

The only thing we really have here in Aus is some discount meat places and even then it's still expensive and you get human grade food only. Some butchers are happy to sell bones for dogs but the meat content on them is not very good.

Oh and the variety consists of beef, lamb, pork, kangaroo and chicken.
That's about it.

 

Hi Tarielle

I'm in the same boat as you, being in Western Australia (and in a small town too), I dont think I have the options like the Americans seem to have!

I have just emailed my local butcher wholesaler to see if they can offer me good prices, it's not nearly as cheap as what people list on here from these big meal sellers in America, but I'll persevere because its best for the dog hoping the wholesaler might give me a better price than the actual butcher did - got 15kg of chicken frames yesterday, for $2 a kilo, so feeding my dog for under $2 a day is fine, but thats no doubt going to be the cheapest price per kilo of any of the meats I get my dog onto! I need to get some chicken quarters too so I can mix it up a bit while he's on chicken only, but didnt want to get them from the actual butcher, because the wholesaler should be cheaper.

If raw feeding would take off over here, I'm sure co-ops would pop up all over the place! I'm doing my best, emailed two friends who have dogs telling them to look into the idea, and gave them this website and the prey raw model website to look at

 

In Indianapolis, IN??

Do you know of any raw coops in the Indianapolis area??
Thanks,
Carol

 

Still looking for a co-op in or around Myrtle Beach SC. I am using the yahoo Raw groups but the closest I seem to get are NC and western SC - 5 hours away. It will be a year soon on Raw and its been wonderful and I would love to broaden their range of food.

Thanks!

 

There are no co-ops in my area (Orem, UT) but I have found an excellent company that allows me to order in bulk at incredibly reasonable prices. I do have to get my orders (which tend to be close to 800lbs) in about three weeks early to ensure that they have enough time to order everything in (since the specialize in catering and party platters, things like chicken backs and turkey necks arent things they keep on hand) but they've been awesome to work with!

does anyone know of a good co-op in middle Tennessee or southeast Kentucky?
I tried to join the ones listed on here, but my membership has been pending for over a month...
I would really appreciate it if anyone could help
