Mrs. Joseph Wood, who advertises with us here at Heavenly Homemakers, is always trying to keep me up to date on the latest great news from Azure Standard so that I can pass it on to you. Her husband is one of their trusted truck drivers, and she and her family are extremely dedicated to serving through Azure. If you’ve been reading my posts about Azure Standard and wishing you had access to this service, you’re going to be excited to read this news!
Azure Standard is going to be adding IL, IN, IA and parts of TN the first of January. They will also be rearranging the current M-1 and M-2 routes into five smaller routes so that food can be fresher when delivered to customers. This is allowing them to add new areas of CO, NM, KS, OK, TX, MO and AR if there were families in those states that used to be off route.
Because of these changes, Azure Standard is super busy, which means that it would be best at this time for you to contact Mrs. Joseph Wood instead of contacting Azure Standard themselves. To learn more or to see about setting up a drop point in your area, call 785-633-3152. Or, if you’d rather contact her via email you can do that at: mrsjosephwood @ gmail dot com.
Also, be sure follow the Azure Standard Facebook page for regular updates and great Azure Standard information!
If your location was not mentioned today, don’t despair! As you can see, Azure Standard is constantly working to expand and meet more needs. Your state might be coming soon!
Woo Hoo! I am in Tennessee (or very close to it) so I will be watching!
Sonja, at this time we are going to the western area of Memphis and have a lot of interest in Jackson that is working hard to get enough interest for a drop. Let me know if you would like me to keep your contact details on file so you’ll be one of the first I notify as we head your way!
Yes, please. I live right outside of Memphis.
I live right outside of Memphis as well (Collierville) and would LOVE a drop near by!
*Squeal* I am so excited! I live in TN so I am hoping they come somewhere close to me.
I’m super excited about this. There is a drop about 30 min from where I live. That has been great, but because of the route changes there will now be a drop in my town. It also happens that the drop will conveniently be in the parking lot of my husband’s office building :)
Wonderful! Joe and I are happy to hear. We look forward to meeting you and the others in your community. Make
sure you pass on the Azure News!!
Woot woot! We’ve already got our spot lined out, too. :)
Amy, we’re excited to be coming your way! Can’t wait to see all the new families that join us!
Waiting for Azure to come to SC or NC (since we are near the state line) someday! Hoping, hoping!
Mary Ann if you email me your contact details I’ll keep you in the loop!
I am also on the NC/SC border. This would be great for our area.
Still not near me in SC…but I am still hopeful!
I live near Greenville, SC and am looking into Azure Standard stuff. Do you know if they are coming to our area or if they are here?
Yay!!! I’m in Indiana. Hopefully there will be something close to me.
Jen, what part of IN and I’ll check for you. Feel free to email me if you like!
I just sent you an email. :)
I’m in Indiana, too. I live in Lebanon. Will you be coming near me?
I just heard last night that our area MADE the list of new drops in January! I spent an hour last night looking over the online catalog so I could start budgeting NOW!
Still waiting for OH – hopefully soon!
If you send me your information, I’ll keep you in the loop as we expand!
Yes, Ohio, please….. please…. oh pretty, pretty please?
I would also like to see Ohio added!!!
Please let me know when Ohio has AS!
I’m in IL!! Yay!! I hope there will be a drop location close to us.Thanks for sharing thiS great news.
Awesome to hear Azure Standard is expanding:) Keeping our fingers crossed one day they will make it into Virginia.
Congratualations! I am still waiting. I will share in your excitement because I know that when they come to GA – you will be excited for me and my GA friends!
Yes, we have GA on the list!! Send me your information and I’ll keep you posted!
Can you please let me know when Azure is coming to GA? Thanks!!
Oh my goodness! I’m so excited! I live near Macon, GA. Is it possible that they deliver close?
I would so love to see Georgia become one of the states Azure Standard delivers to!
I would love to know if Georgia (Atlanta area??? :)is added to your drop list.
Thanks!
I am a little confused about the drops. I’m in southern CA, so there seem to be lots of drops, but I can never figure out what days they are from the brochure. Do I need to call to find out? I would be happy to get going ordering from Azure!
yes! I would call Azure directly and ask what drop is near you. You can reach them at: 541-467-2230
I second the Ohio wish…..Cleveland area to be really hopeful!
Oh! What areas of Texas?!?!? I’m going to e-mail to ask! This would be SO HUGE for us!
Tammy, I emailed you back! It was great to hear from you!
Will they becoming anywhere near the St. Louis, MO area? Hopefully? :-)
Yes! we’re actually already there! Give me a call and I’ll get you the details!!
I’m always wishing I could get the good deals your are posting about, but we are in Canada. I tried two of your recipes this week. The choc chip zucchini bars, but I used raisins instead, and the whole wheat honey muffins. Both very yummy and I posted about them on my blog. Thanks for all the great recipes.
I’m in East Tennessee I’m so excited if we get a drop off even remotely close!!!! I’m going to be checking into this!! Yay!
Yay! I’m so glad that they are expanding! My husband and I deliver Azure orders as well. We’ve been working with Azure Standard for over six years and are so glad to be able to get the products to customers who aren’t on Azure’s regular delivery route.
Thanks for the info! I am talking to Azure right now about my area!
I have a lot of interest here in northeastern Pennsylvania!!!
We’re waiting, too! :)
I second that!!
I’m from NE PA! Now living in South Central PA. Azure in PA would be greaaaaaaaaat!
NE Pa would be great : )
I am in Memphis too! Hope you come to our area!!
Ohio….. please? Pretty please with raw organic sugar on top????
We’re in Central Wisconsin now…any chance you’ll come up this way?!
I’m in Wisconsin too. Would love to get a drop here.
Me, too!!!
I would love to know what parts of Texas will be/are included. I live in the North Texas area.
I vote for Wisconsin too. You’re getting closer so hopefully soon.
I’m hoping for CT…someday :)
Hallelujah for Indiana! :)
Any chance that South Florida will get added soon?
Waiting for NJ…!
We are in Memphis. Can’t wait!
i third on the drop in wisconsin. where are the drops in il and ia im close to the border of both this is awesome
I live on the border of IL/WI and am willing to travel a bit for the IL drop point. I will definitely send an email. Thanks!! Hopefully I won’t have to drool on my computer anymore when reading about your azure order…I will have my own!!! ;)
We LOVE Azure, and I’m glad that others will have access to it! However, I am wondering how this will effect their supply of items? Frequently I will order an item online that is listed online, only to have it not arrive at my drop-site because they are out of stock. (Items like flours, frozen blueberries, or apples). Sometimes I have to re-order the same item several times before it shows up. Is this going to be happening even more often with the added routes?
Hi Anon! Having shopped with Azure for many years I know and understand what you’re talking about from the stand point of the customer. Now that my husband drives for them I have also seen the behind the scene story. Here is what I have learned, Azure does calculate for expansion based off of customer sales. They project the need of products for the new routes so we don’t miss out on the items that we’ve grown to depend on. I am confident they will be watching the buying patterns of the new states and will meet the need, just like they did with the TX expansion. Many times the outages are from massive numbers of individuals who stock up on bulk foods. These purchases are often from one time buyers and are hard for the company to predict. As you mentioned seasonal items can also be an issue from time to time. Azure picks the fruit fresh not green so we only have a window of opportunity to purchase those delicious fruits and get them added to the truck successfully. (Side note: my husband was actually helping them get fruit out of the orchard and into the truck last time he was out in OR. That is how fresh this fruit is!) I do my best to make everyone aware of those situations on our Azure Facebook page. I make sure to post when the abundance is coming in and how long Azure expects it to last. I know that the buyers and owner of Azure are every attentive to the outage numbers and always working to keep them to a minimum. I hope that information helps!
Thank you so much for the response! It is really nice to know the inner-workings. I’m glad that Azure has everything so well thought out!
Oh this is wonderful. I live outside of Jackson, Ms until our day comes I am willing to drive it.
Yes I am so excited Azure is going to be making a drop in Quincy,IL I am telling all my friends can’t wait!!!
Oxford,AL would be a great drop-off point; right between Atlanta and Birmingham on I-20 ;) Huge Target plaza w/ tons of extra parking room for dropoff, right next to the interstate!
I am on the list for Michigan : (. Sad, was hoping the next add would be Michigan.
Great to hear your expanding!! Keep Virginia on the list :)
We would love an Ohio Drop Point! Columbus Area!
Oh please let them come to WI soon! :0)
Any hopes of reaching Montana anytime soon? Glad to see you’ve reached CO…maybe that means MT isn’t too far off!!???
I’m loving it that Azure Standard is expanding! Any chance that there will be a drop point near Fort Wayne, IN? I sure hope so! :)
We are considering that area if there is enough interest. If you haven’t yet done so, I invite you to email me your contact details so we know there is interest and I can keep you in the “loop”. :-)
Thanks for your interest in Azure Standard.
I’m hoping that this means one day SC will get to be part of Azure Standard! Oh how a girl can dream.
I am also in NC and so excited about this. I think I have a catalogue from about 8 years ago or something, in a drawer, just waiting there, b/c there is no delivery here. I bet prices have likely changed. ;) I am going to go like them on Facebook so I can receive updates when they expand further.
Nickole
I wanted to pass along that I am the drop coordinator for the Bloomington/Normal Illinois area. If anyone is interested in Azure delivery here (they are coming!) please send an email to bnazure at gmail dot com. I will add you to my list and keep you updated as we get things setup!
Thanks!
Katie
so glad to get azure to memphis and will tell my friends
Any chance Northern Florida might be added to your expansion? We live 2 hours SW of Tallahassee and we currently have zero fresh fruits and veggies in our house, organic produce is NOT available in this area. :(
Would also LOVE to have Ohio added!! ????
-Meg
Is SC added :) ?
