How do I register to receive news or to join the Traditional Nutrition Guild (TNG) delivery club (a New York based not-for-profit)?Please note that the TNG is not officially or legally associated with the Weston A. Price Foundation. Click on Join Us! and fill out the form. Make sure you check the box for the TNG club if you are interested in that. If you are interested in the local chapter of WAPF, there is a checkbox for that also. Which farms do I order dairy and other products from through the club?Currently, there are four regional farms you may order from. The quality is excellent, the animals are totally grass fed and healthy. They use organic, pasture-based, low-input, sustainable methods. We give out the names and addresses and ordering info, price lists to paid club members. As a member, Where do I go to pick up products through the club?
As of Jan 2007,
these are the available sites: If I become a member of the club, must I order a minimum amount?Not at all! Unlike a CSA, you have no large upfront cost and no minimum order. You do not have to order at all (but we're sure you will want to). We are New Yorkers so we know your schedule can be hectic! What are the prices for products from the participating farms?Club members usually pay on-farm prices for the products. Generally speaking, the products are available at prices equal or lower than organic products in retail stores, often significantly lower. Exact prices vary from farmer to farmer and are available on the members pages. The TNG charges a percentage (@15% currently) added to the price to hire our private delivery persons to bring our orders. Even with the added delivery charge the prices are usually still lower than organic products in stores. I am a member of the national organization the Weston A. Price Foundation. Am I automatically a member of the delivery club?No. The Traditional Nutrition Guild dairy club is a separate organization with separate membership procedures and dues. You can join the club without being a member of WAPF, but we encourage you to join WAPF separately as well. I forgot my password. How can I retrieve it?Click here to retrieve your password. If you have also changed email address and lost your password, you should email the webmaster (at) traditionalnutritionguild.org and he can set up a new password for you. It is best NOT to register twice in our system. My email has changed. How can I change my email, phone, preferences, etc. in my profile?Click on Member Area to log in. After logging in, click "Edit Personal Profile". It is important to do this so you can keep getting email notices from us. We cannot change your settings, only you can. Member Area How do I get specific information concerning the dairy club (ordering instructions, locations, etc.)?You can only get this if you are a paid club member. Log in to the Member Area and you will see a link for this if you are a club member. Member Area How much are the annual club membership dues for the Traditional Nutrition Guild delivery club?The annual dues are $20 for members who will contribute five hours of volunteer help per year. $50 for non-volunteer members. I have sent in my membership dues to Brigitta but I don't see the link for the delivery club info.It can take two weeks for our treasurer to credit your payment and activate your membership. You should receive a thank-you email when that happens. If this did not happen within a couple of weeks of mailing your payment, please email the treasurer Brigitta: brigitta (at) traditionalnutritionguild.org Please include your first and last name.
