Where can I buy organic livestock feed?

• The Buckwheat Growers Association operates a feed mill in Wadena, MN that sells organic and transitional feed blends for horses, cattle, hogs, poultry, sheep, dairy goats, and wildlife.  They supply sacked or bulk feed to a number of feed mills around central MN.
   
• Hy View Feeds, located near Mabel, MN (southeast MN). Hy View Feeds formulates, processes and mixes organic and non-GMO livestock feeds with a delivery radius of 150 miles. They have been a certified organic mixer since 2004. 
   
• You can also contact individual organic farmers and buy grain directly from them.  The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has a Directory of Minnesota Organic Farms that can help you find suppliers of hay, grains of all types, and straw.
   
• Organic feed sources in the Midwest can be found on the website of MOSES (Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Services).
   
• The Organic Valley cooperative publishes an “Organic Trader” newsletter that includes listings of feed, livestock, and equipment for sale.
   
• Nationwide sources of organic feed can be found on the ATTRA website (Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas).
