Hemp Milk: for the hippie in all of us

I recently had the pleasure of trying this delicious substance and found that of all the milk alterantives out there i like this one the best. However, I have a goddamn hard time finding it due to living in a low populated state. Is there any place to get this shit off the internet in bulk and at a decent price? Also I live about 2 1/2 hrs from Salt Lake City and would be willing to make the drive. As for asking the source of my first time taste it isn't possible since they got it from some food program and not from the store. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    A quick google search turned up the following:

    The last one looked the cheapest at first glance.

    I found it kind of funny that you like hemp milk best as I've heard they're some of the funkiest tasting milk alternatives. I've never tried it myself though, only soy, rice, and almond milk (which is quite nice).

    I would describe hemp milk as being the polar opposite of delicious. It's good for you, though. At least it has that working in its favor.

    The non-dairy "milks" of the world can be very tasty if you're willing to completely forgo the notion that they should in any way resemble dairy milk in flavour. If you treat them like a novel thing unto themselves without any flavour expectations you'll frequently find them to be more delicious than most who approach them with the preconception of a specific "milk" flavour that they ought to have, ie, cow's milk.

    That said, pull out your local yellow pages and look for organic supermarkets. Those places tend to carry a wider selection of said items.

    That is true. The caucasian side of my family usually balks at soy milk, because it doesn't taste anything like milk. Well it's not supposed to. It's just that someone thought "Oh, it's white and you ingest it, we shall name it milk." Soy bean drink is delicious and an absolute treat.
