I was thinking more along the lines of buying in large quantities and
everybody split the cost and product, like a bulk buying co-op.  I'm not
sure if we could buy direct from the manufacturer though.  I'm not even sure
if we have enough folks on the west coast to make it feasible.
 
"That sounds like a great idea. It could be like a sort of "dairy free"
farmers market every other month or so. Folks could bring dairy free foods
and products for exchange or sale. Think anybody else would want to
participate?
