Looking to stock up. Anyone have an online source? I'm in central Virginia if anyone has a local source.

Do a web search for "where to buy 50 pounds of..."

You should be able to buy large bags of flour, rice beans and grains from restaurant supply, Costco, Sam's, Sysco etc

For other types of food (freeze dried, powders, etc) try searching for Mormon food supply stores.

Places like nuts.com also sell a variety of flours, grains, nuts, freeze dried foods etc. They have the ability to set up repeating orders which is helpful for maintaining a supply that can be rotated.

drive out of the city and find a farming supply store. Ask them to ask if one their customers will sell you some. Shipping 50lbs would cost as much as 50lbs of the food you are trying to buy.

Restaurant supply stores. If you know a local restaurant owner they can get better prices. Also in some areas Asian markets have good prices in bulk.

If you have a gas stove and know anyone who cans, that is the better route. Higher quality nutrition and protein, no more expensive. Our long term pantry is all good quality food because we home can our food.
