The grounds from your Mill are already dry and full of nutritional value, which makes them a great chicken feed ingredient.
It also takes a lot of land, water, fertilizer, and effort to get food from the farm to our tables — so we're committed to keeping food in the food system. This aligns with the EPA and UN food recovery hierarchies: First, feed people. Then, feed animals.
We receive shipped Food Grounds at our feed manufacturing facility where we turn them into a safe chicken feed ingredient. The facility inspects and aggregates Food Grounds, before removing contaminants, screening, pasteurizing, and homogenizing them to make a feed ingredient. After final testing, the feed ingredient is delivered to a local farm partner in the Pacific Northwest.
