How do I know
when my feed was made?

To ensure freshness and optimal nutrition, always check the lot number to confirm the date of manufacture, and make sure to store feed in a cool, dry place. Following expiration guidance helps protect your animals’ health and feed performance.

Julian Day calendar numbers each day of the year sequentially from 001 to 365 (or 366 in a leap year), rather than labeling them by month and date. On our feed packaging, the last three digits of the lot number represent the Julian Day — indicating the exact day of the year the feed was produced. For example, a lot number ending in 245 means the feed was made on the 245th day of the year, or September 1st.

Ask us anything

Straight answers. Zero jargon. Let’s get to it.

No. Our feeds are non‑medicated and do not contain animal by‑products, added growth hormones, or antibiotics. We believe in providing clean nutrition the way nature intended.

You can find our products through our Available Online page, at most Tractor Supply® locations nationwide, Tractor Supply® online store, or through our “Find a Store” tool on the website. We also offer bulk tote‑feed options for larger operations.

Our feeds are USDA‑Certified Organic, Non‑GMO Project Verified, non‑medicated, and free of animal by‑products. We are part of Kreamer Feed, a family‑owned mill in Pennsylvania in operation since 1947, so our heritage, quality, and service set us apart.

We provide complete, organic feed solutions for poultry (chicks, layers, meat birds, ducks, game birds) and livestock (goats, pigs, rabbits, cattle) in both bagged and bulk quantities.

Yes. Every bag carries both the USDA “Organic” seal and the Non‑GMO Project Verified butterfly mark. We use rigorous testing and go beyond minimum standards for quality and purity.

Check the lot number printed on your bag or on the sewn-on paper tag attached to your bag. It includes the Julian day of manufacture. For more details on expiration and storage, visit organicfeeds.com/expirations 

Organic feed ingredients have more stringent approval standards before being included in feed formulas and provide your animals with clean ingredients. It’s an investment in the well‑being of your flock or herd.

Yes. We provide tote feed (e.g., 2000 lb units) for backyard farms and larger operations. These are ideal for cost efficiency and larger‑volume feeding needs. We recommend, due to freight costs, ordering this option for pickup at your local NBO retailer. Farm equipment is not needed at pickup to load your tote feed, but will be at your farm operation to unload.

Yes. We formulate feeds by age and animal type (e.g., chick starter/grower, layer, broiler, goat pellets for growing/adult).

Yes, all Nature’s Best Organic Feeds formulas contain soy, which we include intentionally as a nutrient-dense, plant-based protein source that supports strong growth, muscle development, and production in animals. Unlike conventional soy, our soy is USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and free from harmful additives or processing chemicals. It provides essential amino acids needed for feather regrowth, muscle strength, and egg production.

Store feed in a cool, dry place with good ventilation away from direct sunlight, moisture, and pests. Proper storage maximizes freshness and nutritional performance.

Though the amounts of each ingredient and inclusion in our feeds as a whole is proprietary (we can’t completely give away our special recipes!), we do provide a complete list of ingredients and a Guaranteed Analysis on each bag or sewn-on bag tag, as well as on the product’s website page. 

This information can also be found on the product pages of our partnering retailer’s sites. If there is a specific ingredient inclusion you need to know (for example: “How much niacin is in this feed?”), please do not hesitate to reach out to us!
