Food, Faith & Family
We Nourish Churches and Communities with Healthy Food
Azure Around the Table is All About Food, Faith & Family.
You may know Azure as a natural food distributor that brings healthy food to your community, but Azure is much more than that. We are not only a faith-based company, but a family, and we're passionate about raising the standard by providing other families whole foods at affordable prices.
Instead of using an expensive middle-man, we make eating naturally affordable by delivering your groceries to one of over 3,700 spots around the country, also known as a "drop location."
Because we want to partner with the church communities that have shaped us, we are excited to announce Azure Around the Table, a brand new initiative that will not only bring families in your congregation together and visitors to your parking lot, but also help fund ministries that matter to you!
Food
Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. The right food provides health and energy to live out our faith and build healthy relationships.
1 Corinthians 6:19
Faith
The just shall live by faith. Faith in Jesus Christ provides freedom from sin and new desires to take care of our bodies and love our neighbors.
Galatians 3:11
Family
A threefold cord is not quickly broken. Healthy families and communities can more easily work together for good food and to serve one another.
Ecclesiastes 4:2
About Azure
1971
We started as an
organic family farm.
Our parent company, Azure Standard, is a family-owned business founded and led by David Stelzer, a multi-generational organic farmer. In 1971 his family converted their conventional farm to organic with the hopes of healing some chronic health issues. That hope became a reality, which fueled a new dream to reach many others with healthy, nourishing food.
1987
Then, we became a nationwide healthy food distributor.
In 1987 the Stelzer family began to search the marketplace with a vigorous standard in order to distribute and share more of the best natural goodness with others. By 2022 Azure Standard became America’s premier distributor of healthy foods and products for home, health, and garden.
2025
Now, we're helping churches to be the heart of health in their community.
After delivering directly to community drop-points for decades to help keep healthy food affordable, we continue to dream in 2025. We are launching Azure Around the Table to specifically see churches nourished with health for Christ and stronger communities as a result.

How It Works
1
Start a Church Drop
A church drop is a way to get high quality, healthy food at an affordable price to your church and community. Instead of paying markups at the grocery store, we use your church parking lot to deliver the best food straight off the truck. You’ll meet there to pick up your orders once a month.
2
Choose a Drop Coordinator
The Drop Coordinator (DC) communicates with everyone through email when orders are due each month and when the truck is expected to come. Azure provides simple training and a prioritized hotline for DCs only.
2
3
Place Your Orders
Anyone in your church and local community can become a member of your church drop. They simply go online to AzureStandard.com to create an account for free, and then select your church drop as their preferred pickup location. Orders can be placed any time before the cutoff.

4
Pick Up at the Drop
Once a month the Azure truck will deliver to your church drop. Drop members from your church and local community will meet there to help distribute the boxes by name. Once that’s done everyone takes home their natural and affordable healthy food!
