Ohioans- where do you buy your organic or high quality feed?

I get mine from countryside organics. They ship it too me and they ship around the country. Prices and shipping are pretty reasonable. The food is fresh and my hens love it.i was able to get a 29 pound bag for 19 dollars plus shipping . It has lots of good things inside and is certified organic. It also has proboscis in it. Some of the ingredients are all organic peas corn what oats barley fish meal rice bran alfalfa sea kelp flax seed wheat middlings vitamins A D3 E D B 12 niacin riboflavin biotin folic acid iron it has lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus case, lactobacillus plantarum, and many more bacillus products. It's soy free. It's been a big hit with my girls. They seem to love it.
 
I am between Dayton and Columbus and having trouble finding a feed I like for my 11 hens.  I started them off on Dumor, but  I hate how much of the bag is dust.  So I tried the tizwhiz layer pellets which I didnt like either because the shells seemed to lose color-all seemed to look the same lighter shade of brown without the usual speckles some have. I went back to the Dumor for awhile until I got fed up with all the dust again.... and recently decided to give purina sunfresh a go- I am not even totally switched over to the purina yet and the eggs are loosing color again and they just dont feel the same-instead of looking a little shiny they look dull.  I just feel like they must be missing something in the diet for the eggs to just not look as good. Maybe its the fish meal in the Dumor? i dont know.


 Anywho I wondered if anyone nearby me could let me know what they are feeding?  I have looked into some organic layer feeds but I cant find retailers anywhere near by (most seem to be in northern Ohio a few hours away) and to be totally honest, I would prefer an organic feed but dont want to pay 30 bucks or more a bag to have it shipped to me so I am willing to go for a nice high quality feed.

Thanks :D
Hiland Naturals has dealers that you can find through their website. Have you tried that? I'm in West Virginia and I got lucky in that I have a farm a few minutes away that sells it.
