What Is Priaireland Food?


Prairieland Food Is A Discount Food Program For Volunteers.
Kansas - Nebraska - Oklahoma
Prairieland Food is a purchasing consortium, non-profit organization (not government or state funded!) that helps feed families, the elderly, students and anyone who may need a break on food prices from what their local grocery stores charge.  About a 50% savings overall each month on healthy, nutritious foods.
Purchasing multiple Prairie Paks and Special discounted food packages, families can really save each month on some otherwise high dollar foods.  Prairieland Food accepts SNAP (food stamps) as well as other payment types.
IF YOU are located in Kansas, Nebraska or Oklahoma, think about starting a PLF host site near you.  You’ll not only save money for your family but for your neighbors too. And  you’ll help build a stronger community!
If you have volunteers in your group, club, troop, church, or organization, they can benefit from their volunteer efforts with discount food packages!

November Prairie Land Food Package Menus are UP and ready to view.

Morning Folks.

It's not too early to be thinking what to order for November. And it will be easy to grocery shop at your local venue as the package menu's are already set for November 2010.

As always it IS fun to prepare for the big family meals. Although October still has to show us some fall weather in Kansas, and Halloween is still a week away, the Prairie Land Food folks have been busy arranging our Thanksgiving menu so we can rest easy knowing a lot of the shopping is already done.

Because the gold foil turkey breasts have been so popular in past years, there is a "Holiday Dinner Pak" that includes this item, separate from the regular Prairie Pak. With the holidays coming upon us, Prairie Land Food is always prepared with the food we love, need and want.

My order for October is sitting on the front porch so I'd better get out there and get that food brought in and put away. Thanks to the great volunteers at our local PLF site, our food packages are delivered to us. The discount food program offered is truly a dream come true for our household.

SEE the November Food Packages at: Prairie Land Food packages for November 2010 .

This page is a preview of the new Derby site which is mostly still in redevelopment! Pretty soon you'll be able to see the whole shebang. Just a preview of the layout is shown at that page.

As always, blessings to you and yours,

Eileen

Disount Food Program - Prairie Land Food - Derby KS

Howdy Folks!

I've been blogging in other places for Prairie Land Food since last year! The Derby KS website however (http://www.prairielandfoodderby.com) is getting a face lift and I am now attaching this blog to the website. Hold ON! It's still in redevelopment, but the basic information is available on that ONE page.

Since October 2010 ordering time is past I will not blog that information here but WILL begin blogging here next month again to announce the menus and any changes if necessary.

Derby KS residents can still enjoy the same great service and crew as always. Physical changes, in the real world are much different than webdom changes and updates.

If you are interested please call any of the ladies listed at the website for information about participating in this wonderful discount food program!

Put your volunteer hours to work for YOU!

Prairie Land Food Program In Derby, KS

Hi-Dee-Ho Folks.

Rain, rain and more friggin' rain. It's spring in Kansas alright. The flowers are starting to put on a great show however in my yard, the dandelions are outshining the lawn. Too Bad, so sad. LOL

I love the spring but with the rain sometimes, the grass does not get mowed as soon as it should. Oh well, we survive, don't we?

Once again I'm here to tout that your volunteer hours can bring payment in the way of saved dollars on your grocery bill each month. The Prairie Land Food Program allows you to turn in those hours in exchange for food packages called "Prairie Packs." There are about 6 meats, several fresh vegetables, several fresh fruits, sometimes some packaged surprises and one dessert item (usually). We always get two of these packs (at least) and some of the specials so we have meat for the month in the freezer. Savings around 40% to 50% on the items is a great way to have more to spend elsewhere.

We've eaten the fresh broccoli we received and the pulled pork. Time to bake up some of the chicken that came. I use the leg packages to make chicken 'n' noodles for The Russter (I have to be on a glutton free diet [sicko here], but I sometimes cheat) but he can enjoy the oodles of noodles and I can still have some of the chicken with my greens.

It's nice to have the dough to go out to eat once in awhile and saving on our monthly food bill helps us do exactly that!

Keep your feet dry, if you can but think about saving with our food program!

Smile, it'll only rain for about another month...
