Oak Meadows Farm is partnering with Stormy Roost Farm to sell the high quality, non-gmo, corn & soy-free feed we use for our own animals. Stormy Roost was started by one of our former interns and will be selling the feed from our farm. The feed is produced by Red Bridge Farm in Kettle Falls, WA. Red Bridge is a military veteran-owned business that started as a livestock farm similar to Oak Meadows.
Red Bridge begins by sourcing all of their ingredients close to home, with much of the grains coming directly from farms near the mill in Stevens County. They then add all the ingredients into their grinder/mixer, meticulously preparing each batch of feed for your animals.

Why Probiotics?
Beneficial bacteria added to the diet aid digestion and nutrient absorption resulting in faster growth and better overall health. Direct fed microbials also replenish the beneficial bacteria flora, those "good bacteria" which directly compete with destructive or harmful pathogens such as Coccidia, E. coli and Salmonella spp. Excess beneficial bacteria are excreted in the manure where they help correct the balance of bacteria in the litter. -Feeding Pasture-Raised Poultry by Jeff Mattocks
Why Fish Meal?
In field studies done by Fertrell, they have found that meat birds fed a ration with fish meal had a higher live weight averaging 1.9 pounds more than those without fish as well as a better feed to weight conversion. "Fish meal helps to balance all of the essential amino acids, most importantly methionine and lysine." In addition, “this helps to stimulate the bird’s appetite because poultry have an instinctive craving for meat proteins."
What this means to you is that with fish meal, your birds should convert the feed into meat better and grow bigger in a shorter time. With a better feed conversion you will spend less on feed per pound of meat that you raise for your family.
