SHARE of Wisconsin is a non-profit food buying club which distributes pre-ordered (& pre-paid) food every month. (It's usually the last Saturday but is tweaked to avoid holidays weekends.   

The menu for January features a GF pasta and pesto pack from RP Pasta and Renaissance Farms.  In early December, a member posted that the pasta was a featured product in the January Oprah magazine. You can check out the January menu & find a local host site online at www.sharewi.org    Online order are due by 9 p.m. Sunday, Jan 15th.

Orders are delivered for pickup to dozens of host sites across Wisconsin, northern Illinois, Michigan's UP and the edge of Minnesota.  Local volunteers run the monthly distribution and collect orders for the following month. All food is ordered by and shipped from the Milwaukee area warehouse and often features Wisconsin-made products. Produce is seasonal and local when possible.  Transportation/handling fees vary a bit from site to site but are modest when compared to commercial shippers. This would be an opportunity to try the products without investing a lot of $$ in shipping.  

The SHARE program is open to everyone.  "If you eat, you qualify!"  Menus change each month...Some items appear on a regular or rotating basis, while other may be a one-time manufactures special.   Without knowing what the demand will be, it's hard to tell when the GF pasta pack will fall.  

I've been involved with the SHARE program for most of the 25 year history and can probably answer any questions you might have.
I have not financial involvement in the programs  other than the "economy of mass" of cooperative buying   More participants just means more buyng power to get better deals for everyone...
