Feed for Every Stage
Match the feed to the bird. Starter feed (20% protein) carries chicks from day one through their first 3-4 weeks. Grower feed takes them through to maturity. Layer feed (16% protein) keeps hens laying once they’re in production. And hog grower feed covers your pigs from weaning on.
Meat Chicks
We offer meat chicks in season. Availability changes through the year, so contact us to find out what’s coming up.
Non-GMO Project Certified
Our layer, grower, starter, and hog feed are all Non-GMO Project Certified Fertrell formulas, ground fresh from grain we buy in bulk from a local Pennsylvania grainery that sources from local farms. That short supply chain matters: grain starts losing nutrients about 30 days after milling, and most bagged feed at the store is already 90 days old by the time it hits the shelf. Ours isn’t. We sell it in 40-pound increments — bring your own bucket or use our bag — for pickup at the farm.
The Feed We Actually Use
Homesteader supplies start with the feed we trust enough to use ourselves. Raising your own flock or a couple of pigs? We sell the same Non-GMO, soy-free feed we give our own animals, ground fresh — no mystery bags, no fillers. If it’s good enough for the chicken and pork we put on our own table, it’s good enough for yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the feed clean?
Is your feed Non-GMO and soy-free?
Yes, all of it — Non-GMO Project Certified and soy-free, the same feed we use.
What brand or formula is it?
Fertrell formulas, ground fresh.
Is this really the same feed you use?
Yes — the exact feed for our own chickens and pigs.
Why does fresh-ground matter?
Grain loses nutrients after about 30 days; store feed is often 90 days old on the shelf. Ours is ground fresh.
Buying and pickup
How is the feed sold and packaged?
In 40-pound increments; bring your own container or use our bag.
Do you ship feed, or is it pickup only?
Feed is pickup at the farm.
Can I bring my own containers?
Yes — buckets or trash cans are encouraged.
How much feed should I buy at a time?
Buy what you’ll use within about 1-2 months so it stays fresh.
How do I store feed at home?
Cool, dry, and sealed; use it within about 30 days for the best nutrition.
Which feed for which stage
What's the difference between starter, grower, and layer feed?
Starter is highest in protein for chicks, grower supports the growing stage, and layer adds calcium for hens in production.
What protein percentage is each feed?
Starter is 20%, Grower is 18% while layer and hog are 16%.
When do I switch from starter to grower to layer?
Roughly: starter for the first 3-4 weeks, grower through maturing (and rest of broilers lives), and layer once hens begin laying (around 16 to 20 weeks).
Do you have hog feed?
Yes — a Non-GMO, soy-free hog grower feed.
How do I switch my flock from store feed to yours?
You will likely notice your animals much prefer our feed over store bought. You can switch your animals directly over to our feeds at any time.
