After calling a few feed stores I wanted to follow up with Rivertown Feed in Petaluma as they claimed to be selling somewhat local feed. Christopher and I stopped by one afternoon and learned that indeed the feed is sort of local. What they sell is organic chicken feed from Bar Ale feeds in Williams, California which grows the feed stocks in that area of the northern Sacramento valley.
The various feeds arrive to the store in Petaluma in bulk and is bagged for sale. So far, this is the most local chicken feed we have found in Sonoma County, although we realize it is most accessible to those living or working in Petaluma. One local producer of free range pastured, organic eggs, Suzi of Stonybrooke Sustainables, told us that she buys her feed at Rivertown because it is as local as she could find and it is very fresh. She also told us that Western Farm Supply in Santa Rosa sells unmedicated chick starter feed although it is not local.
