Hey Mel Ive just been binge watching your videos, great job. I see youve got a lot of poultry too. Do you bulk buy your poultry feed? Im in Serpentine and just starting my farmlet and looking to buy larger quantities. I found you via corey and Amanda at Rockpile
@honey-bee-farmstead 2 күн бұрын
Oh so awesome, thanks heaps for reaching out. No I dont buy chicken feed in bulk but I think that's a brilliant idea, we buy whole grains from an organic farmer and we ferment them for the best output of eggs and meat from our birds. Your best bet would be to contact Milne or T&R or the company that makes your favourite chicken feed and discuss your requirements with them. I would imagine they would be more than happy to accommodate your requirements. Thank you for joining us and WELCOME.
