Blue Chip Group/Augason Farms

The Blue Chip Group in Salt Lake City has consolidated with Augason Farms. They produce the Morning Moo (whey milk substitute) that many people have used. Their new web site address is: http://www.augasonfarms.com/  On their web site they have a product list along with "the deal of the day" and a closeout section.

I will be placing an order to Augason Farms, due Sept. 17 by 9am. The advantage to a group order is that shipping will be minimal. I will be charging only $1 per order placed with me as opposed to up to $12 per order if you do it yourself. When shipped out of state there is no sales tax either. I will be ordering a couple of 50# bags of the Swiss Whey D'lite Milk Substitute for myself. It is $79 per bag and my official test taster (Will) has announced that he will indeed drink it so with a 50# bag making approximately 62 gals of milk my cost per gallon of milk will be about $1.27. The chocolate Swiss Whey D'lite is $97.50/50#.

Morning Moo is available too but it is running $109.00/50# bag & the chocolate Morning Moo is $97.50/50#.

Keep in mind, while we are not allowed to can this at the cannery, we may individually check out the portable canner; use the Mylar bagger (it and supplies can be picked up at my house); or if you're like me and this is something that you're using now you may keep it in 5 gal. buckets/glass containers etc. as it is shelf stable once opened at 70 degrees for 1 year.

I WILL BRING SAMPLES OF BOTH THE SWISS D'LITE AND MORNING MOO TO R.S. THIS SUNDAY, SEPT. 12 so you can see if it is anything you're interested in.

You are free to order anything you like, but watch their prices. Some of their dehydrated/freeze dried items can be found for a better price on Emergency Essentials sales, plus one might want to keep an eye on Honeyville specials http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/ and Shelf Reliance http://www.shelfreliance.com/ web sites also. If you ever feel there would be an advantage to a group order from the other places I'd be happy to see what we can do as a ward.

Meanwhile, if you happen to be headed to UTAH IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS....
Blue Chip/Augason Farms is in the middle of switching their labels up and has a lovely back room full of product (mostly #10 cans) that they are selling for a discount until old labels are gone. Already canned Morning Moo is going for $7/can which is 4 pounds.  ~12 cans makes up a 50# bag of product, so for $84 your Morning Moo is already canned for you and has a shelf life of 20 years. Their freeze dried fruit - blueberries, raspberries etc. are going for $15/#10 can. The only problem is they will not ship these old label product, they are available for in store pick up ONLY. I wouldn't make a special trip but if you're headed that way it might be something you want to consider. Most of their products are available w/old labels so feel free to surf their site and get a feel for what's available. And yes, I was checking the cans and I didn't find anything dated older than a year so I was happy with what I picked up. Their hours are 10-5 M-F. They are not open on Sat. or holidays. The retail outlet is located at 3431 S. 500 W. Salt Lake City, Utah.  It is extremely easy to find, just right off of the freeway on the west side.
