Join the REFILL movement and save our planet!
How it works:
Bring your own containers and bags.
1. Give your selection request of Bulk Dry Good items to Shop Attendant.
​
2. Attendant will weigh your empty container "tare" ...the container weight will be subtracted. You pay only for the weight of your dry goods.
​
3. You may request either: a weight quantity, or a dollar value.
For example: you may request "2 ounces", "2 pounds", or "$2 worth"of bulk goods....or simply request "that the container be filled up".
​
You only pay for what's inside your container!
4. Bulk Dry Good items will be filled into your container and re-weighed.
​
5. You pay. ...Cash customers receive discount --- or we accept credit cards.
Our Mission:
Our goal is to dispel the FOOD DESERTS in our Kansas communities.
A food desert is any community that does not have a grocery store within easy walking distance from neighborhoods.
Many of our Kansas small towns DO NOT HAVE ANY GROCERY STORES so folks must travel many miles to other towns and cities to buy groceries.
​
Loose, Bulk items are NOT AVAILABLE in local grocery stores.

GRAINS OF A DIFFERENT COLOR
How it began:
One day in the early morning, I was milking my goats on our little homestead. This thought came into my mind....Hunger is about to be a powerful teacher
"Wow! That was weird..." I mused. "What a random thought to have so early in the morning." I paused, with the swish-swish-swish of the milk striking the pail.
"Why would I ever think such a thing?..." I resumed milking my dairy goat. Leaning to the side, I caught the eye of my very unassuming goat--she blinked, and tucked her head back into her feed.
I wondered, "Could it be 'just my early morning musings'..." or Something Bigger-Something Important?
"Just 'Me'?" or perhaps something more Powerful-more Divine?
​
"Teach people how to get bulk Dry Goods so they can AFFORD to FEED their FAMILIES"
​
Nope. Not me... definitely not my idea.
Now, I am a Christian, (not sure if you are---and here, it doesn't really matter). I know when I am being led by Someone with a much higher pay grade than mine... SO
This is a Mission: a 'directive', if you will.
I am not doing this for my personal gain or benefit.
I am doing this out of Love.
An Effort to bring hope, & reach out in peace...
