SoCal raw suppliers?

[Haretakis]

I am looking for a supplier in either the Temecula or Orange County area. Any one have some recommendations?

[Verivus]

I know this supplier is in Cali, though not sure if it's within the area you want. Regardless, something you can look in to. They have some stuff in the dog food section I'd love to get my hands on.

I plan on using them, but they only deliver to the area about 1x a month. I want some options just in case I run outta food, or for whatever reason.

Any other recommendations?

Tried joining a co-op?

Welcome

OCBARFCo-Op : OCBARFCo-Op

Don't know how active they are, but worth looking at. Don't have anything else to suggest.

[Haretakis]

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't really have time to help with the co-op...
There has to be more options?!

[Verivus]

I find it hard to believe you can't volunteer the ONE time a year they ask for, but good luck.

That's for the useless, pointless reply , but if it makes you feel better: I didn't know it was once a year, and I can certainly manage helping out once a year.

Apologies for the douchey post (it's not how I intended to come off). I read their FAQs, and will probably join.

That being said, are there no other options?

I am not on here much anymore...
but if you are ever in SD, I would try:
Harvest Meat (National City)
and there is another one down there, but I can't recall the name (Chula Vista)

They are both wholesale meat distributors that sell to the public. Occasionally the guy who runs Jurassic Secret Emu Oil will sell meat for dog food (he used to do it more often, but got some deal with a large company to buy all his meat so he won't sell to individuals). You may want to ask to be on his dog food email list just in case.
