This is my attempt to slowly answer questions that commonly come up at farmer’s markets.
“It says on your box that they are fed organic. Does that mean you are certified organic?”
No. We supplent the chickens with certified organic feed that we buy by the ton, but we also feed them all sorts of other goodies that are not certified. Such as, fruit and veggie scraps found behind Whole Foods, bruised up veggies from Oak Hill Farm, rolled oats from a local bakery etc.
So, while we are not certified organic, we like to feed the chickens stuff that would either go into a landfill or just be composted. Why not collect that food and feed it to the sweet babies? They love the varied diet and their eggs seem to love it too.
