Organic Horse – Feed and Treats

Horse Powered Hay Equipment
As agribusiness tactics become sneaker and the contents of our own food changes it makes you wonder about what your animals are eating.

Every Purchase Matters

This goes without saying, but purchasing from socially and environmentally responsible sources is one of the few ways we can each do our part to encourage these practices.

They cost more, but they cost more to produce, and in the long run the cost is small to support sustainable and organic farming.

    Modesto Milling in Modesto, CA carries a wide variety of only organic feed for horses and livestock. I buy alfalfa pellets, soybean meal (heat treated), whole oats, whole flax seed, etc. from them. They also carry Redmond salt, DE, kelp and other great stuff.
