Non-GMO food

Is it possible to get Organic NON-GMO chicken feed?

Yes! Scratch and Peck is totally GMO free verified, and they have soy free and soy/corn free feed.

Thanks for the info, but I checked and Scratch and Peck is not sold within 150 miles of me.

they also will ship it to you, but Im not sure what the shipping costs would be. I know right now they are doing a discount on their retail site. Also you can buy it through Amazon.

Thanks, I'll check.

Contrary to what many will say, any organic feed that is certified will be GMO free. Just find what organic feed is sold in your area.

Purina also makes a line of NON-GMO/Soy Free poultry feed. I think the name is Home Grown. It is really inexpensive compared to organic feed. Personally I just feed Blue Seal. I don't do organic food with all my other food. So it seems silly to just make one part organic and not everything.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Just because a feed is organic does NOT mean that it will be GMO free. I use Scratch and Peck and I have to have it shipped to me. Sucks but it is what it is for now.

If there is corn or soy in your organic feed you can almost guarantee it's GMO unless stated otherwise.

You are right that it is probably GMO free as the Homegrown soy free I tried was all wheat, which is not currently GMO in the USA. The problem I had with the stuff here in Pa was it had peanut hulls in it also & it cost $21/50 lbs. Not particularly cheap for a non organic feed. My hens yolks were pale from all the wheat also. I saw another BYC member that showed a Homegrown soy free tag that had better ingredients in it, so it probably depends on the part of the country you are in or perhaps the time of year etc. Just didn't feel like paying so much for peanut hulls when I could get a soy free local organic mash for the same price.
