San Francisco flour Co-op

I posted this as a reply to another thread but thought it was better as a separate topic.

Basically im a home baker in SF and been wanting to buy 50lb bags of flour from central milling or giustos as the price per pound is less than half the cost. Problem is i want to buy 2 or 3 different flours which is ultimately 150 pounds of flour which would last me over a year at the rate i bake bread.

Was wondering if anyone in SF would be interested in splitting the cost of flours. Ill help organise just need committed and reliable bakers. We would agree on the types of flour/grains/seeds we want, buy and divide on a quarterly basis.

Apologies if already posted but couldn't find anything.

Feel free to reach out!

Hi.  Would really like to discuss this project with you.  Have purchased from Central Milling quite a bit but the 50# bags are a problem.  And the 5 pound bags are not enough and cost a lotmore.

I live in central Oakland, recently transplanted from Marin.  I am mobile however.  Cell is 4153099975 if you want to discuss.  Thanks for a great idea!

I'd be interested in discussing it as well although I'm not sure if I can get organized enough. I live in San Rafael and my business is in Richmond so not too far from Oakland. I rarely go to San Francisco though. My cell is five-ten 6854511 or email tomkrase(at)thegthing everyone uses
