Food for the Flock

All of our animals (pets) get fresh, organic (mostly from our garden), clean foods. If we do not grow it, the farmstead, homestead, orchard, etc. has been vetted. And with the exception of meats, we eat most of the same foods they do. Yes, you read that right, the humans do not eat meat. We do eat eggs and dairy products from Harmony Acres Amish Farm.

List of foods our flock eats (by category):

Normal feed: Scratch and Peck layer mash. Black soldier fly larvae, mealworms (we raise these), earthworms (we have several composts set up), and whatever bugs we/ they find in the yard.
