It is in Vernon, Florida. I love going there. They are like a store from old times and still sell nails by the pound. They have lots of antique pots and pans hanging on their walls.Mamma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781533611079940480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-53534191700706361962013-05-16T20:56:08.030-05:002013-05-16T20:56:08.030-05:00This all sounds really great and healthful for you...This all sounds really great and healthful for your animals. What is the name of the company and where is it, if you don't mind telling me. I hate to give my hens medications or hormones. It is amazing that better food leads to better production in terms of milk and eggs. The hens, cows, and pigs must be very happy animals. Thanks for the information.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-14812809040878751002013-05-16T15:14:56.863-05:002013-05-16T15:14:56.863-05:00I do feed them layer pellets but I have recently f...I do feed them layer pellets but I have recently found a company near me who mixes their own grains. I am buying a 14% protein mix of oars, alfalfa and corn No medication or growth hormones They are getting this instead of scratch now. Egg production has increased. I also feed this to my does. Milk production has increased to 2 extra quarts a day. This company also makes a feed for my pigs with no medications or growth hormones. I am loving this. My meat later on will be absolutely organic.

Mine get scraps every day. Thankfully, there are no piggies to get I first. I have never made cheese, but they would love whey, I am sure. My hens do love yogurt. They look so funny with yogurt face.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-37861712512090653472013-05-15T08:06:39.088-05:002013-05-15T08:06:39.088-05:00LOL....I read this as Here's Dinner tonight an...LOL....I read this as Here's Dinner tonight and had to take a second look! <br /><br />My chickens get all kinds of food scraps and leftovers when I clean the refrige....that is until the piggies came along and now they get to share. I also give them whey when I make cheese.They love that stuff and the high protein keeps me in lots of eggs.Mamma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781533611079940480noreply@blogger.com
