Well first off, does natural mean organic? As in GMO free? I want to go organic but the shipping cost for organic feed is very high. I haven't tried the ton route but right now a $30 organic feed bag $20 shipping which is like $1 a pound.
Anyone have a way around this? Like a reasonable internet company?
I went to our local feed store that is family owned and spoke to the owner about carrying organic feed for me. He said he had looked into it but was unsure how much interest he would have. I got on facebook asked around to other chicken people in my area and encouraged them to buy organic feed at his store. He ordered two bags for us and we now have someone right down the street to get organic feed from with the added benefit of supporting our local economy. Also... no shipping charges We paid 22.50 for a 50 pound bag and the more people who purchase it there the more our price goes down
Good tip!I just started up with azurestandard.Com and when u order they will find closest "drop point" is to you and you only pay a percent of total cost of your order. Mine was 8.5 % which is like the tax if I went to Walmart or where ever which I thought was neat. You might check into that. They do sell organic feed.
