Review HoneyVille Farms Outlet Rancho Cucamonga

[problemchild]

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hey guys I just compared the online price to the store price and the eggs alone were 23% cheaper!!!!
All of the items were substantially cheaper than the online price. Diced potatoes #10 in store was $7.36 and online is $10.99
Right down the list the prices were much much cheaper in store.

Being Good Friday and the fact that there was no traffic on the freeways I drove on out to HVF. I found the store after discovering there is no 6th street offramp on the 15 fwy. I had to back track to the 4th st exit and then head up towards the mountains. Once I hit 6th I made a left until I hit Milikin. Made a right on M and found the outlet down about 1 block on the right at 9175 Milikin. They also have a distribution center near this location, do not confuse the two.

I parked my car in the front and headed in. Out in front of the store they had a display set up of all different sizes of water barrels and tanks. I think the biggest was hundreds of gallons and the smallest was 5 gallons. The inside of the store is about the size of a Pep Boys auto parts center. I was amazed at the extensive (almost said diverse, I hate that word) collection of food items. The store made the Mormon canning center look like a 7-11. HVF had everything you could ever want for food survival. I was half expecting to see bullets and rifles on isle four, I mean they even had a solar oven on isle one.

The store had everything from Gen II buckets (the ones with the O-ring and twister top w/lock to 16 bean 25lb soup mix. About half the items they stock came in bulk bags with the others coming in #10 cans. Its truly an amazing store to stock up at. If you have never been out there you have to take off on a Saturday and go. They are closed on Sunday. The woman that worked the front was extremely helpful and even made a call to find out some info on one of the cans I bought. You just cannot find helpful people like her anymore. Great place to spend my hard earned cash. I highly recommend HVF.

I wish I had brought my camera I just did not think of it. I did take a picture of the items I purchased. The list of food items I got to compliment the Mormon dry goods are the following.

Powered whole eggs 50lbs ($162.00)
Blueberry syrup 2ea 14oz
Brownie mix 4lbs
2lb canola oil pan spray
Potatoes diced #10
Powdered butter #10
Baking powder 10lbs (no aluminum)
Powdered margarine #10
Freeze dried Mozzarella #10
Freeze dried Cheddar cheese #10
Multi bean mix (16 bean) 25lb
Banana chips #10
Beef bullion

Steam table oats (thick cut) 25lb

I was "this" close to going there today to pick up some water barrels, but had to wait for a patio door install.....then decided to put it off a day.

I agree, great place. I plan to also pick up some of their variety packs of canned meat/fruits/veggies.

[mstlaurent]

Yep, Honeyville rocks. I was just out there last week picking up some more wheat.

PC, Good Job. Finally got your eggs. I am finishing up my new storage facility and plan on dropping a few grand at HVF when I am done.

The lady across the street (Mrs. Cravats) saw me arranging things in my garage and decide to walk over and find out what I was doing. When she saw my supply, she decided to tell the entire neighborhood. Now everybody has decided that in case something happens, PARTY at my house. F-Me for leaving the garage door open.

Thanx for the info.

You guys are lucky to have one in your area. I read their blog and they are always announcing specials in the retail stores that don't apply to Internet orders. Right now is an exception: they have a 10% off code for Internet orders, but the special only ran for a few days and ends in 1 hour and 16 minutes.

This is a question to you guys that buy the dehydrated products, are honeyville and provident living one in the same? are they produced buy the same company. Seems as they are all owned buy the Mormons? Just wondering as I was going to make another order soon.

My appologies it should have been Mormons. No disrespect intended. Thinking faster than the fingers can type. I suffer from fat finger disease.

Honeyville does do private label and they are very big.

Love it.

I stop by almost everytime I'm in CA.

For those who might order off the internet and have it delivered, here's a tip, except for bulk grains, the prices are comparable to the retail store price. Bulk grains however, are almost 2-3 times more expensive on the net, so buy them at the store.


ETA: Did you guys see the girl who works there that looks like the one on the car insurance company commercial? Are they sisters or what?

No car insurance chicks working there when I was there. Just some old lady and a smokin hot Asian chick with huge bajungas.

have you prepared any food yet? To taste the quality? when are you canning next?

Im ready to go in about 3 weeks. They are trying to kill me with all the overtime.

[puropuro]

I 2nd this question. I did indeed get in there today and picked up sampler boxes of #10 cans of fruits/veggies/meats....Now, looking at them, it seems they'd make great stews and stuff if you just toss them in a pot with your rice and beans and water.

How do you guys cook with them? How do they taste?

PC, had I known we could have met. My shop is about 1.5 miles from the store and as you probably know, I have used HVG for years. Two weeks ago I asked why they no longer carry the eggs in #10. The response was that the FDA pulled their permit for that size and they are only allowed to sell 50 lb packages of eggs because of some BS or another. HVG has a mill in Cucamonga where a lot of the grains are processed and packaged.

If you guys get on the HVG email list they will notify you of monthly specials and upcoming classes and demonstrations.
