Locally grown feed in Michigan

[pattyh]

I know this is going to be a shot in the dark, but I am looking for a feed supplier near me that either locally grows their feed or a place that sells organic or high quality feed. We are currently feeding them Layena and corn crumbles and only because that is all that is sold at our TSC. We live in St. Clair County and work in Oakland County. So anything in those 2 areas will work. We feed them rice, rice noodles, fruit and veggie scraps, and organic yogurt so they get more variety to there diet, plus it's fun

Any other suggestions for feed will be greatly welcomed. We have 5 RIR and 4 Buff hens all around 20 weeks old.

CVK Farms, LLC

I get mine from John Linck. Prices are the same between to the two but John has Soy free and one that is mixed with molasses to help make it less powdery. $17-18 per 50lb bag. He has chick, grower, layer, pig, sheep, etc.​

Armada grain is a good feed and at a great price. Only downside is they do not sell an organic version.​

there is www.scramlinfeeds.com in holly. they grow and mix their own layer feed, but don't have a pellet machine so only have crumble. my girls like it just fine but waste alot. he does sell a layer feed in pellet, but not that he grows himself.

We're going to go there after work. Seems to be the closest place to us. I might check Imlay City also. I go there once a month.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions.​

FYI

Armada grain closes early... I think 5:00pm. Family Farm and Home is open to 8:00pm.

I tried Scramlin for feed. He said all their grain IS GMO and not organic. They stopped carrying organic when a large buyer quit due to cost.
