On Farm Feed Making Using Transitional Grain

We’re starting another year of feed making. With little demand for certified organic feed, we’ve been making feed using our transitional grain for many years now.  This grain is grown exactly the same way as the certified organic grain. The only difference is that the land on which it is grown hasn’t been chemical free for 3 years. I’ve been transitioning 60-70 acres at a time from my family land which provides the grain for feedback making. 

All our feed is custom made. We can make most any feed. We’ve made chicken layer, broiler, turkey, hog, goat, sheep, and cattle feed. We make many of these feeds in a soy free version. We make most of the chicken and hog feeds for customers every week.  If a customer needs a small amount of these feeds, we are usually able with prior notice, to add more to the big batch. Otherwise, if a customer needs a feed that we don’t make often, they will. We’d to buy a minimum of 500 lbs so the grinder mixer will be able to blend the feed evenly. Many customers pick up their feed in pickle barrels which hold up to about 350 lbs. We usually have a few extra barrels here to borrow. We also sell feed in rope handled muck buckets which hold up to 100 lbs.
