From Farm to Feeder...

We take wild bird seed seriously so where possible many of our wild bird seed mixtures contain ingredients that have been grown, harvested and cleaned here in Norfolk and Lincolnshire. Each seed type, be it millet, oats or sunflower are then taken back to our warehouses and cleaned before being blended into the fantastic wild bird seed mixtures our customers know and love. Growing as much of our wild bird seed as possible not only helps us keep a close eye on quality but also vastly reduces our wild bird foods carbon foot print. It is often easy to opt for cheaper wild bird food suppliers, particularly online, but when making your choice remember that a great deal of these cheap mixtures are imported from huge distances away.

Feeding wild birds should not cost the earth in any sense.
