Catherine said: "I know that the Amish near Coalgate sell milk, but I do not have a contact for them"
Thank you, if anyone knows how to contact them, I'd be most grateful. Clarita is a drive for us to go there just on a chance but I realize the Amish do not usually have telephones. If there was a contact person that would help tremendously! I suppose I could just start calling randomly from the phone book in that area.... ha ha
Judy said: I don't know if you know about the Oklahoma Food Coop http://www.oklahomafood.coop , but I'm working on starting a Pauls Valley pickup site, if that would help you.
Thank you Judy, that is the co-op I was speaking of. Here is my dilemma - I am a member but they don't offer some of the things I'm really looking for, some months more items are available, some months they are not. There are a very few items I would like to order (eggs for one) but the closest pick-up is too far from me to just order eggs - with the cost of gasoline, a 70 mile drive puts the price of eggs way up there. :o) I live in Ada so Pauls Valley would be closer. If I could find everything I needed from one place or co-op, the drive would not be such an obstacle. I have tried contacting the suppliers individually (outside the co-op) several times but so far have not had my calls or emails returned.
Joy said: "You might also try local farmers markets."
Thank you Joy, yes, we do have a local farmer's market here in Ada, but it is very small and seasonal. They mostly have vegetables, no honey, milk, cheese, eggs, meats or those types of things. I have gone and asked but no one seems to know. I have seen the large OSU market but again, have not made the drive to attend. If anyone has been there and can give me an idea if maybe all these things would be available there I would make the trip! And I would love to know the list of other markets, there might be different items at different ones.
We do have a small health food store that mostly sells supplements. I have asked the owner many times and she does not have any contacts either. I used to be able to purchase local raw honey there but the supplier has stopped selling.

know the location.
I live in Ada and if you have sources that you do not wish to publicize, please email me privately. I'd love any information at all!

I appreciate all of your help and advice, it is so frustrating to know we need to do something and not be able to find a way to do it!
