Hmm, I never thought to look in there. I go in there for my chicken feed but haven't noticed wheat.

I went to Whole Foods last week in Tampa and bought a few pounds to test things out at $1.50 a pound.

As an aside, I didn't know there were three of us here from the St. Pete / Tampa / Clearwater / New Port Richey corridor. I used to drive down to Hudson all the time for shits at night. No one is ever on 19 that time and it's very relaxing. There's also a restaurant I used to go to down on the coast in Hudson....forget the name.

At night, the only people on 19 are drunks and cops. Lots of cops.

Most likely Sam's. I go there often.

My gosh thats $90 per bushel!!! (a bushel of wheat is 60 lbs) I raise wheat and todays price to my Farm is $4.62 And last year the New York City news papers were blaming Farmers for the raise in food prices. Even if you double my price to $9.00 per bushel that would only be 10% of what Whole Foods in Tampa is getting.

Contact a Kansas Wheat Farmer and he will sell you some wheat.

It's all in the shipping and quantity costs. A bushel of apples at an orchard will cost far less per pound than buying 4 apples at the grocery store. It makes more sense to spend a little more for testing than to end up 60 lbs that may not be desired.
