It could be organic if those grains are raised organic. The recipe could go either way..

Agreed, so many ingredients.

With my pullets I serve purchased organic layer mix as free choice and treat heavily with Hard red wheat, oats and BOSS all sprouted. Some cracked corn, Alfalfa meal, tiny bit of fish meal, and ground up apples.

The article was a written by a woman who suggested purchasing the items "organic" from Whole Foods. Clearly she is wealthier than I.
