Thanks for all the replies to my Teff inquiry. I have given the information
to my local natural foods grocery store and he said he would see what he
could do through his distributor. If he can't come up with anything I'll
order from the catalog. I was so thrilled that Teff is still out there.

I've got recent catalogs from Bob's Red Mill and Gold Mine that have teff. I
haven't ordered from the other two for a while, but they probably still have
it.
-- Another reply said:
The grower for Teff is:
Maskal Teff
1318 Willow
Caldwell, ID 83605
208-454-3330
I believe that they are the only ones in the whole country who
are growing it. Otherwise, I understand that, since it comes from
Africa, you can find it in an African grocery store (we have a few
in the San Francisco Bay area) but that it is full of little rocks
and stones.
-- Another reply gave the address as:
Try: The Teff Company
P.O. Box A
Caldwell, Idaho, 83606
(208) 455-0375
-- Another reply about The Teff Company:
Another Teff lover, I see. You can buy direct from the Teff Co in Utah,
but that's in bulk, like 25 lb. min. If a large local support group then
that's one option. Last I knew, Shiloh either packaged it or Garden Spot
Distributors in Pa. did that for them with the Shiloh label.
Garden Spot 800-829-5100.
You can mail order from Garden Spot or let your local store order. Garden
Spot also carries goodies from Foods by George.
-- And lastly:
For teff try:

We also have been having trouble getting the Aroowhead Mills Teff. We now
carry Bob's and the price is $6.45 for 24 oz. Hope this helps.
recently cut out a newspaper clipping of an Ethiopian market in the
Boston area and it was mentioned that they sell teff as well as other
Ethiopian foods. I do not know if they ship but you could call them and
find out. If they do not ship they could maybe tell you who their
supplier is. The name of the market is A Touch of Merkato
169 West Springfield St
Boston,MA dont know zip code
