Okay. This is my logic.
80% of the dryland farmland in the Dove Creek area is organically raised- so technically even the non-certified beans are mostly organic. All the beans at Adobe Milling is from dry farmed lands.
Non-organic pinto beans cost direct from Adobe Mills:
10# -- $7.50
20# -- $14.00
50# -- $32.50 (about $.65 per pound for the largest bulk price)
Certified organic pintos direct from Adobe Mills:
10# - $13.50
(Currently the Moonflower sells Adobe Mills organic pintos @ $.90 per pound from the bin).
Non organic Anasazi beans direct from Adobe Mills cost:
10# - $11.25
20# - $20.00
50# - $48.50 (about $.97 per pound)
Organic Anasazi beans direct from Adobe Mills:
10# - $14.00
(Organic Adobe Mills Anasazi beans in the bin @ the Moonflower: $1.35 per pound).
Organic beans are about the same price at both the Moonflower and direct from Adobe Mills. Go figure.
However, both the non-organic Anasazi and pinto beans are quite a bit cheaper if you are willing to purchase technically non-organic beans.
The Moonflower cannot guarantee prices on bulk purchase and when they run out of the stuff in the bins the prices may go up accordingly.
Good luck deciding.
I am going to order the non-organic pinto and Anasazi beans in 20# bags each just to have some on hand for the future. Beans are grown once a year. Prices may change over time until next year’s crop.

This is kinda weird…I compared the prices of both pinto and anasazi beans with the prices of them at the moonflower and the moonflower prices are cheaper. Plus the beans at the moonflower are organic.
