Feeding 100% organic without going broke?

Small scale, "Organic" (meeting US Definitions) is a niche offering for hobbyists, NOT for production. If you want to produce Organic in the US w/o going broke, you need to either scale WAY up (some of the organic certification, paperwork, reporting requirements seems pretty clearly intended as a barrier against entry by new competitors), or get a better day job - do this as a break even side hussle.

If you are very fortunate, you may have a local mill which can produce certified organic feed for you at decent pricing. Your local Ag Extension office can likely make recommends. In that way you "scale up" by piggybacking on someone else's size.

New York is a big state - maybe these guys can provide what you need at decent price? https://www.stonehousegrain.com/ They don't provide guaranteed nutritional labels on line, so I can't comment as to the quality of their feed from adietary standpoint, but they are in your market, in your state, and would seem to be much cheaper than Scratch & Peck (which I feel to be overpriced, though popular). There may be other options. Likely are.
