Feed Ingredients
Our poultry is raised on a custom‑milled feed designed to support healthy growth and provide the protein levels needed for strong, well‑developed birds.
This feed does contain soy, which allows us to reach the correct protein percentage.
Full Feed Ingredient List
– Barley
– Oats (Whole, Local)
– Wheat
– Bean Meal (soy‑based protein source)
– HP 160 Basic
– Milo
– Lime
– Sunflower Seeds
– Split Green Peas
– Dicalcium Phosphate (Dical)
– Lysine
– Methionine
– Mold Inhibitor
– Ridley Poultry Mineral
– Molasses
Corn Cross‑Contact Information
Our feed is formulated without corn, but it is mixed at a mill where corn is also processed.
This means there is corn cross‑contact at the mill level.
However, the amount is extremely small, and we have not experienced any issues with it — even in our home with corn allergies.
As you may know nothing is ever truly “corn‑free,” but this is as close as realistically possible while still meeting the nutritional needs of the birds.
What our feed does not contain
– No corn in the formula
– No mammal byproducts
– No artificial dyes
– No added hormones or medications
We are always happy to provide additional details upon request.

Water & Ice Source
All water used for processing, rinsing, chilling, and cleanup comes from our own well.
We also use ice made in our personal ice machine, which uses the same well water and has no additional filters or additives.
This ensures consistency and transparency from start to finish.

Soaps & Cleaners Used
We keep our cleaning routine simple and safe, using products that are gentle and free from unnecessary chemicals.
We use:
– Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Baby Soap for cleaning
– CleanSmart for sanitizing surfaces
Both are mild, food‑safe options that avoid fragrances, dyes, and harsh residues.

Processing Methods
All poultry is processed on‑farm under clean, controlled conditions.
Our process includes:
– Humane handling
– Stainless‑steel equipment
– Rinsing with water only (no soaps or additives)
– Immediate chilling in ice water
– Careful trimming and inspection
– Vacuum sealing using FoodSaver brand bags
Each bird is handled with care and packaged to maintain freshness and quality.

Allergy‑Friendly Practices
Because many of our customers have corn allergies or alpha‑gal syndrome, we take extra steps to reduce risk:
– Custom feed with no corn and no mammal byproducts
– Only mild, fragrance‑free cleaning products
– No mammal‑based fats, oils, or cleaners
– Dedicated equipment for poultry only
– Clear labeling and careful handling
While we cannot guarantee zero cross‑contact, we are committed to transparency and safe practices.
