Great Eggs Require Great Non-GMO Feed

Non-GMO Layer Feed with Organic Kelp Creates Happy Chickens that Lay Delicious and Nutritious Eggs

Maple Valley Farm on W Maple Grove Rd. in Bloomington, uses a non-GMO layer hen feed that we store in 50 lb. bags. A farmer we know grows and mixes our feed that includes non-GMO soybeans, corn and oats. We add organic kelp, sustainably harvested fish meal, minerals and vitamins. When fed to our pasture-raised hens, this feed produces deep orange yolks that stand up in the pan. Text Larry at (812) 327-4713 with your name if you have questions about the feed we use.

What’s special about our chicken feed?

What IS in it:

1. Full fat, whole, ROASTED soy beans.
2. Organic kelp meal with a full slate of trace minerals
3. “National Organic Program” approved Fertrell mineral and vitamins.
4. A small amount (about 3.5%) of sustainably harvested fishmeal to provide the critical amino acid methionine.
5. Natural vitamin E as a preservative.
6. Grains from a farmer we know. We know exactly where our feed is grown and who grows it.

What is NOT in it:

1. Our feed has no genetically modified ingredients. NO GMO.
2. NO ethoxyquin, a toxic pesticide commonly added to animal feeds as a preservative.
3. NO soy trypsin inhibitors or other anti-nutrients. Roasting the whole bean eliminates phytotoxins in the skin of the bean while preserving the valuable nutrients and fats inside.
4. NO soy oil.  We use the whole fat bean so we don’t have to add highly processed soy oil back into the mix.
5. NO traces of the hexane chemicals used to extract oil from the beans (beans are full-fat and contain all the natural oils.)
6. NO pelletized or other highly processed feed ingredients.  Chickens choose the food they need, when they need it.
