Grab some stove chow and Green Teams from the local stores to get you by for this winter. And then in the spring, get an order in for 3 or so tons of the good stuff once its on sale. Generally, the best prices are in april-may time frames form the pellet hawkers. That's what i'd do given your distance.
It might even be cost effetive for you to find a buddy with a good truck and trailer and drive there yourself.
