You know I’m all about community. Our local Jewish Weekly is expected to run a story on my post this Friday. If it does, I’ll post a link here so we can all watch the reactions.

Thanks for noticing.

B’shalom,

Jeff

Not sure how to approach this with your community, just remember it's all your community and they need to be reminded of that too. I’m sorry Jeff.

We build our community with our conversations. I didn't, so I can't comment there, but I have no doubt that the products from your company are of first quality. That's not the issue. That you sell your meats to Costco isn't even the issue. <a href="http://www.coloradokosher.com/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Colorado Kosher Meat</strong></a> is a company doing its best to turn an acceptable profit and I'm OK with that. Colorado Kosher Meat is not the problem. Jews who value price over community are the problem. So let me ask you this: when you sell chicken, how much of a discount for quantity do you offer Costco over the price you might charge a small butcher shop (if you supply small butcher shops)? If, say, I were to order 100 pounds (or whatever you might consider to be a minimum order) of chicken from Colorado Kosher Meat, at wholesale, how much more per pound, as a percentage of the wholesale cost, would I spend compared to a business that placed an order for 10,000 pounds? If my numbers are inappropriate, please feel free to substitute your own to illustrate the difference between a small and a larger order. B'shalom, Jeff Shalom Julie,
