Where do you live, Cath? If you don't want to reveal it on the forum, just e-mail your city/state and I'll see what I can do to help. I don't visit the Citrus forum all that often, so I might need a reminder this post is here.

Rural feed stores and grain elevators that have retail outlets where they sell fertilizers, feeds, and such, are common sources for Gran-I-Grit grower size grit or #2 cherrystone, as packaged by New Ulm Industries

Tapla,
I live on the East side of Dayton, Ohio. The feed stores that used to be around here are no more due to changing land use. Would a Tractor Supply store be likely to have what I'm looking for?

Because of where you are geographically, I'm guessing that you do have grit available near you - you just haven't found it yet. I have purchased cherrystone grit from Cutler-Dickerson Co, which is north of you and not far into MI, farther from me than from you, though. I'm not suggesting you travel that far, only that it should be available near you.

Use the online yellow pages to search grain elevators or animal feeds in Dayton, and ask for Grani-I-Grit in grower size or #2 cherrystone. If they don't have it, ask if they know who might carry it. Here are some possibilities:

Miami Valley Feed & Grain
880 W Jefferson St
New Carlisle (937) 845-3568

H Nagel & Son Co
15022 Brookville Pyrmont Rd
Brookville (937) 833-2479

Ro-Lin Farm Service
8040 Conservancy Rd
Germantown (937) 855-4128

Rudy's
149 Hayes St
West Milton (937) 698-4501

Harvest Land Coop
141 S Commerce St
Verona (937) 884-5526

If those don't bear fruit, let me know and I'll get on the phone myself on Mon.

Thank you Tapla, I will try these but it may take a while. Been busy lately. Husband had back surgery on Monday but is doing well, second time in 2 years but he ran 5Ks in between so no complaints. Although someone I know will be griping soon about not getting well fast enough. LOL
