"These sort of comments make me laugh. Suppliers who are not 'certified' organic, may still be organic - they just haven't paid for, or gone through the inspections, the certification. Think farmers markets, road side stalls etc…"

The organic…"

Lisa L replied to Susie's discussion Local Organic Chicken Feed in the group Poultry in Urbania"Can't buy chicken food at wise cicada"
Megan Firkin replied to Susie's discussion Local Organic Chicken Feed in the group Poultry in Urbania"PS: I couldn't find chicken feed on Cicada so not sure if that is a reference to organic in general or specifically chicken feed. Can you clarify Angila."
Megan Firkin replied to Susie's discussion Local Organic Chicken Feed in the group Poultry in Urbania"Hi folks,
Biograins charge $11.80 for freight so for a 25kg bag depending on mash or pellets you are looking at $42.17 or $44.14.
Given Frenz sell their eggs as organic and free range in the supermarket and there have been so many investigations…"
Angila replied to Susie's discussion Local Organic Chicken Feed in the group Poultry in Urbania"Hey i get my organic products from wise cicada, new market, Auckland. They are best and always serve me fresh and healthy products."
Mercurious replied to Susie's discussion Local Organic Chicken Feed in the group Poultry in Urbania"Sorry Susie but Biogrow is not more expensive and I was not charged any frieight at all so it is cheaper than the feed promoted by yourself on your website.
Have a look at www.biograins.co.nz $11.80 per 25kg bag is the only price quote for postage…"
Susie replied to Susie's discussion Local Organic Chicken Feed in the group Poultry in Urbania"Hi All,
Buying through NZ bio grains was about $21 in just freight from my record for 25 kgs. This Frenz feed is most definitely certified organic, which I agree is absolutely important, and ALL ingredients are sourced solely from the north Island,…"
Mercurious replied to Susie's discussion Local Organic Chicken Feed in the group Poultry in Urbania"Also. Buyer beware your food if you want organic should be Bio Grow certified. If it is not it is not organic."
Mercurious replied to Susie's discussion Local Organic Chicken Feed in the group Poultry in Urbania"Hi
The Bio grains food was freight free and I think you will find your food is not all sourced from Auckland but from all over and maybe made there. Biograins is cheaper and a wonderful…"
