I buy a feed manufactured in Vermont and distributed locally. The tag lists all the ingredients and their food value. They will NOT list their product as "organic" because they cannot guarantee that their suppliers are organic and his is a very competitive market. After researching the company I feed their product to my chickens and if some accidentally got mixed into my morning cereal it woun't bother me a bit. #12.00/ 50#
