Walton Feed Order

(I don't put last names on this blog. If you need to know where to mail the check or who to make it out to, post a comment and I will respond to you.)

Fall 2010 Walton Order

Dear Morrisville Ward members:
We have less than a month to get our food orders in to the Walton Feed Company, a supplier of food storage items. The deadline is Aug. 22.

Members of our stake have been doing group orders from this company for as long as I have lived here (22 years) so it is a reputable company. However, our stake president wishes to make it clear that the orders are not sponsored or endorsed by the LDS church, that there is no gospel obligation to participate in the order, and that these group orders are not the only way to build food-storage.


Please call or email me with questions. If I cannot answer you, I will refer you to the Apex stake volunteer Walton coordinator, who is Aimee S. But please call me first, so she doesn’t get so many calls.

HOW TO ORDER
There is a printable price list attached to the email you got from our Relief Society secretary, and the Excel Price List, which is easy to use. Just type in your quantities, and it will add everything up for you.

DEADLINE: The order form and a check (made out to _________) is due by Aug. 21 if you mail it to my house or you can bring it to me on Sunday Aug. 22. I do not want to do any money exchanging in the chapel. Please give it to me in an envelope somewhere other than the chapel. I will not look at it until I get home so please make sure all the numbers add up correctly.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES: Please realize that if you order, you are responsible to pick up your food when the truck arrives. Walton has orders all along the East Coast. All food arrives on a semi truck in pallets, and the group that ordered has to unload the food, organize it and then pull their orders and get checked off. It usually takes the
average group 1 1/2 hours hours to do the whole process, depending on the size of the order. We have a good system in place, and if followed, it is fairly quick and efficient for the individual. By doing these group orders, we save lots of money on shipping and receive product discounts off Walton Feed's regular retail prices!

DELIVERY: The truck may be here sometime between October and January, they will let us know in plenty of time, don’t worry. But if you are only living here for the summer, don’t order.


New Products:
Walton Feed is now carrying Freeze Dried products...freeze dried fruits, vegetables and shredded cheese. They also have canned meats. Please look at the "Product Info" tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet to find more information on these products. Please note that when comparing prices on freeze dried products from other companies, you need to check the weight of the product. I have noticed that a few companies put in less product than Walton Feed does, sometimes much less.
