Organic Vs. Organically Grown Feed

Posted by Lisa Palmer on August 29, 2012 at 9:46am

I have been buying USDA organic layer pellets at Aden's Hay Oasis. They recently made a change to no longer carry that bag only the "organically grown" feed. It is not USDA organic so my assumption is that is is genetically modified corn products grown organically. I do NOT want GMO products. The lady looked at me like I was crazy and said everyone else just switched to the other one. Anyone else with me on this?

I now have a problem. I do not know where to find USDA organic feed from my girls. They will be eating the other until I can find it. I live in NE Mesa. I rarely if ever can get to Phoenix and or Scottsdale, my husband takes our one working car to work and I work in Chandler the two days he's off. Anyone near me get theirs and can add a bag here and there for me? Or have any suggestions on where to order?

Thanks for the help!

      Yep, there's several options now that are free of corn, soy, and canola.

      That's great!  The only problem is that the pick-up place is so far for me I eat up my savings by the time I drive there and back.  My Azure pick up is 1 mile from me.  I can see it working if you buy a lot of feed, but I only use a little over one bag a month.  It's not worth saving $10 to drive all the way up there.  :-(

    I order mine from Azure Standard.  (Azurestandard.com)

    You can check their website for how to order from them.  No shipping if you order at least $50 each month.  They have lots of good stuff so I never have a problem meeting the minimum. :-)

    They have an organic and an organic, corn and soy free feed.

    Rogue Feed Chicken Layer Pellets, Organic

    I don't know if this one is USDA

    Magill Ranch Cascade Layer Poultry Feed, Organic - Corn & Soy Free

    This one is USDA but it's a mash and expensive

      We have an AZURE Standard Drop Point in Tempe.

      It was my understanding that you need a $500 order to get the free shipping. So we have a "drop point" for the group of people that I order with.

      Either way, I know its not NE mesa- but Azure standard is a GREAT way to get the things you can't get locally and it is responsible sourcing. 

      Let me know if you want more details on that. :)
