Great to find your blog. You might be interested in the local cooperative we've recently started here in the East Bay. It's The CoG, short for the Cooperative Grocery. Check it out: www.thecog.org.

We're just getting started, but we have 450 members and are running out of a warehouse on 67th & Hollis on the Emeryville/Berkeley border. We only mark our items up 21% above wholesale and we are focusing on local, sustainable products. Members work 2 1/2 hours a month so that we don't have to pay labor. Bulk foods will be in the store within the next month or so, and then refrigerated and produce. Right now, we're a drop-off site for Full Belly, and we do carry a pretty full line of their products (wheat in various sizes, wheat berries, almond butter when we can get it, dried fruit, nuts, etc.)

It just seems like this is the kind of place you should know about! Hope to see you down there.
all the best,
Julia

I can share your excitement, because I'm on the same search in the Pacific Northwest. I KNOW wheat, beans, oats, rye, barley, and corn are grown here--but I can't get my hands on them...who will sell a reasonable amount for my family(between 5 and 50 pounds) at a reasonable price? So far, from that list, I can find soft white wheat (I want hard as well); beans (garbanzo only!) and rye, all from Azure Farms. I had to call them to find out what they grow themselves and what they source from out of state....I have about a dozen emails out to farmers and distributors, who so far don't even bother to reply. Apparently individual locavores are small potatoes in their world!
