Hi Bay Area Folks,
I've been interested in trying this organic, non-soy feed:
http://www.countrysidenatural.com/home.php, but it isn't available locally, and the shipping is crazy. So I thought if I could drum up enough local interest, I could really cut down on shipping costs. If we order over 300 lbs, the order will be shipped on a pallet, and at that point, the more we order, the less the shipping cost is per unit. The only problem I foresee is that they might not be able to deliver to my urban-ish neighborhood, but I'll worry about that when it comes.
Here's a thread where people rave about the food:

So for now I'd like to get an idea of how many people might be interested in ordering this feed, so I know whether to pursue this. It might be best to PM me so we don't clog the thread, and if you can, list how many bags you might like. In a week or two, I will confirm with everyone and place the order.
It looks like wonderful feed. They have a layer feed, a starter feed and a broiler feed. The starter is the same as the broiler feed except that it's ground finer for smaller mouths, and it's recommended for chicks up to 3 weeks. For pullets who are not yet laying, they recommend the broiler feed.
Looking forward to hearing from you all.
