Can't Find Rye Berries in Florida

Hey guys,
I swear Ive been to ever nutrition store feed depot and whole store in my area and I can't find rye berries anywhere. Is there a specific store in Florida that sells them? If not what can I use in place of rye berries, I know there are other choices Rye berries just seem to be one of the most popular choices. Any information is appreciated!
Thank you in advance.

I had the same problem where I live (finding supplies) so now I just use WBS (Wild Bird Seed). It is cheap ($2/5lb @ food4less), easy to prepare, colonizes fast, and works just as well as any of the more expensive/harder to find grains that I tried when I was breaking in to this hobby. This site, others and Google will tell you everything you could ever want to know about using it as well.
BTW Personally, it irks me when I ask a question about on thing and someone else gives me an answer about something else but in this case its worth considering because it works so well. J

I think it is around 200 - 225g dry per quart jar. (filled 3/4 of the way)
I think you can get around 100 rye jars out of the 50lb bag. How much was it in Fl.?

No sweat man. Out of everything I have done in my life this was one of the more expensive hobbies for me to learn. Everybody basically does the same thing, a little differently; and if you stick with it long enough you will probably experiment with many different techniques/supplies before you find what system works best for you. Then its all good J

That is so funny Anarch, I cannot find a Whole Foods even remotely close that has them. I am going to order them online from Azure Farms, it is RR endorsed I believe, please do not hold me to it but I am almost 100% I have read a post in which he recomended them by name. It is also what he uses in his videos. They are a pretty fair price as well I might add.

Can probably get more then 100 jars out of a 50 lb bag, but if its expensive (it is for me too) but you like rye..try stretching it out with WBS. Use half bird seed, half rye. Or more rye if you want, or less..doesnt matter.
Not only is it cheaper then rye, its better then WBS alone, and I think better then rye alone. You get a nice mixture of different sized grains and different nutrients.

One with not so much cracked corn or sunflower seeds. Also one that has no air in it is a plus. I get some from a local grocery store with no corn and almost no air in the bag, so theres no dust. Makes shaking them very easy. Corn makes for mushy jars so less the better.

I special ordered a 50 lbs bag for 50 dollars and that is with the 10% discount lol. I didn't pay for it yet just ordered it so I might just go with bird seed seeing how cheap it is. How much better is Rye than bird seed? I've heard a lot of mixed opinions. It would be saving me a lot of money but then again I want quality over quantity.

I checked out azure farms too Pileus but the shipping is outrageous to get it to where I am. It was like 20 dollars for a 50lbs bag but the shipping was like 50 dollars itself. There was 2 options for shipping 1 for Drop Number and one for UPS. They told me that they don't have any drop numbers in Fl but hopefully they have one where you're from so you don't have to pay the crazy shipping fee.

i payed 17$ for 50 pounds of winter rye, from my local feed store.
are you positive your local feed stores dont have rye berries?
try asking for "rye grain, rye berries, winter rye"
im sure they have it.

Yeah, there are DEFINATELY cows here.. they are everywhere. I could find Rye Grass everywhere but that is different from Rye berries the Rye Grass is a lot smaller. I seriously tried every organic health nutrition store I could think of.. I did say "Rye Berries" instead of "Rye Grain" or "Winter Rye" but then again I was in the store myself and I personally looked and didn't see anything. Is it worth it to buy the Rye Berries over the WBS?

Rye is not really available along the coast at feedstores. It doesn't grow well here and Sorghum (aka Milo) is grown as a replacement for feed purposes. There are some grows using Milo which suggest that it isn't too different than rye. Hard wheat and popcorn are also cheap alternatives along the coast usually.
