What is Azure Standard?

Azure Standard is a family-owned and independent food delivery service that specializes in high-quality, affordable non-GMO and organic natural groceries. They’ve created an independent and free food supply chain so their customers have access to the most nutrient-dense and real foods found anywhere around the United States. They also provide a variety of products ranging from food, household goods, health, beauty, pet, nutritional supplements, and garden supplies. They provide my family with amazing organic produce, bulk goods, and groceries each month. I am constantly amazed by their prices! You can read more about Azure on their website.

Usually, their organic fruits and vegetables are less expensive than the non-organic produce I can find at my local grocery stores. I especially love getting boxes of their frozen organic berries like raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Azure specializes in providing quality bulk and natural foods. You can buy the exact amount your family needs, which reduces food waste. You can be sure that you're getting the best possible ingredients for your family, while also saving money!

How does Azure Standard work?

Azure offers a variety of items at discounted prices when you purchase them in bulk. Whenever you’re buying in bulk, it’s important to know the price you’re currently paying per ounce and pound. At Azure, you can find amazing prices. If you don't want to buy a lot of an item, they also have smaller sizes. For example, you can buy different kinds of dried goods in 5, 10, 25, or 50-pound sizes. For other items, you can order them by the case if you use a lot of a particular item. You can also order one item if you only need one.

If you love grinding your own flour and baking homemade bread, you’ll love the organic wheat berries. If you prefer to use gluten-free flour for baking, Azure has a variety of organic gluten-free flour options, too!

What is an Azure Standard drop location?

"Azure works with wonderful, committed drop coordinators around the country to offer special 'Anchor Drop Locations' that provide extra convenience for our customers. These Anchor Drops store customers' dry, refrigerated and frozen foods for a minimum of three days after Azure's delivery." - Azure Standard

How to find Azure Standard drop locations

To find an Azure drop site, you can visit their drop point locator. You can search by city, state, or zip. Azure delivers to countless locations around the United States, including a few locations in Alaska.

We’re part of a drop about half an hour from our house. Our order comes in an Azure truck and we meet at a specific location to pick up our groceries. In our case, we meet at our drop coordinator's driveway.

Why choose Azure Standard over other stores?

There are many reasons to choose Azure Standard for your grocery shopping needs. With Azure, you can get the food you want directly from the producer. There is no middleman and no grocery store overhead. You also don't have to wait in line to pay. This makes it convenient for you and your family. They have created a food supply chain that is independent and free. Their customers can get access to the most nutrient-dense and real foods in the United States.

You can often save money on your grocery bill by buying items in bulk. This is why we started buying many of our groceries from Azure Standard. Rather than buy a small bag of beans or oats, for instance, we buy 25 pounds at a time, which saves us money in the long run. It's also an excellent idea to have pantry staples available to make a meal, even if your family hasn't been to the grocery store recently.

Azure has a long history of good relationships with suppliers. This helps them get deals on their customers’ favorite non-GMO and organic products. They don't have the overhead of a retail location, so they are able to keep costs down and pass those savings along to you. They're also environmentally friendly because they reduce the distance food travels from a farm or producer to your table.

Unlike online e-commerce food stores and many grocery stores, Azure delivers fresh dairy, eggs, organic produce, frozen meat, and packaged goods. Plus, they deliver large volumes of bulk foods that are typically too heavy to ship.

What kind of products does Azure Standard offer?

Azure offers a wide variety of products ranging from food, household goods, health, beauty, pet, nutritional supplements, and garden supplies. Some of their most popular categories include organic produce, grains and legumes, meat, dairy, and supplements. As a plant-based family of three, we love get our organic frozen berries, bulk grains, legumes, and other household favorites from Azure. They offer a wide variety of organic grains, including wheat, oats, rice, and quinoa.

If you’re looking to store bulk food items in a food cellar or pantry, I highly recommend the 5-gallon food buckets and gamma seal lids. They are perfect for storing bulk grains and legumes, which come very handy in case of emergency or food shortage.
