It all started with a simple idea, we are passionate about local food and wanted to help local farmers and producers to sell their products and make it as easy as possible for consumers to access their needed food. Fodder is alive and well and we are having fun as the very best we can be. We can support a large mass of farmers and small producers and have a growing number of very loyal customers.

Fodder is the process of germinating seed(s) and feeding the entire seed and sprout to your animal.  By feeding the seeds and the sprouts to the animals the animals will benefit from both the seed’s energy and the plant’s energy.

The types of seed used for fodder varies based on the type of livestock that will be consuming it.  Each type of seed has its own nutritional benefits.  We recommend that our customers purchase the highest quality, cleanest and least processed seed possible.

The seed that we recommend most often is barley, alfalfa, millet, oats, wheat, grain rye, ryegrass, buckwheat, field peas, clover, sunflowers, sorghum and more.  The fodder Rule of thumb is “2% of the animal’s live body weight of fodder per day.” One pound of seed can produce eight pounds of fodder.  In some cases, two pounds of seed can feed an 800 lb. animal for one day.
