Catalogs are now open for DCO cycle 95!

  • LATE catalogs will close at 8pm, Sunday 2/24
  • PICKUP will be Saturday 3/2, 1:30 to 4:45pm

Update:

Natural Way Mills Shipping Cost Alert and Possible Change in Future Ordering

Natural Way Mills (NWM) shipping charges are based on the weight of the total order. Due to the loss of an ordering partner that previously bought large quantities and helped keep our shipping costs down, we will need to have larger orders to avoid high shipping costs. A message will be going out to members with more detail on this situation and possible impacts on our ability to order from NWM in the future.

For this cycle, you can help by checking the  Natural Way Mills catalog first when you order (07 NWM). The catalog carries grains, flours, beans, seeds, salt, and sweeteners. You may already be buying some of the same products from other catalogs, but at a higher price. For example, Long Grain Brown Rice from NWM is $0.95/lb (25lb, 5lb min split), from Country Life it is $1.35/lb (50lb bag, 10lb min split), and from CPW it’s $1.91/lb (25lb, 5lb min split).

Product Search Tip: Use the Product Search field at the top of the catalog page (just below the Source selection dropdown) to search across all catalogs and see the various options for a single product. Experiment with clicking the Literal Search box to get cleaner results.

Updates & Reminders

5-Week Cycle
This cycle is a five-week cycle, with an extra week between pickup days for the last cycle (92) and this one (93). This means that Late catalogs will be open an extra week (closing on Dec. 30). Early catalogs will be open one week as usual (closing on Dec. 16)

SnoPac Product Note
You may notice SnoPac products in retail stores that are not in the DCO catalog. This is generally due to the product origin. DCO only carries SnoPac products sourced in the U.S., so items imported from other countries are not listed in our catalog. Please check package labels and contact listings@driftless.coop to request addition of a domestically-sourced product to our catalog.
