“Matthew, Whitney, and Stetson cofounded the company in 2020 when they struggled to find organic seed options. The trio created the product, which comes in a recyclable carton, with friends & peers in mind — millennials who reached adulthood amid the climate crisis. But as they discovered, their product appealed to people of all ages."

“THE BIRDS LOVE IT! They could not get enough. Our small farm is certified organic. It means a lot to have our feathered friends eat healthy also.

Sandra S.

" Happy birds 🌻 happy gardener of native plants.I love watching them return each day to the feeders. The wild birds love your organic seed offerings. In an increasingly uncertain world they have something good to rely on morning and night, year round!

“ This bird feed is packaged very well. The strong cardboard design is durable and clever, opening much like a milk carton. It is easy to pour and seal when finished. The seeds are clean and free of any issues, this is a healthy option for your bird feeders.”

" I don't know what is in this bird seed but the birds in my neighborhood love it to the point where I fill my bird feeder once a week and put a small mound of the seeds on the ground under the bird feeder. I have some jack rabbits in my yard as well and they seem to really enjoy the seeds too. It took about a month for the bird collection to flourish but now at any time of day I can look outside my bedroom window and see a ton of birds eating until their hearts content. Plus there's so much seed it'll take a while before you run out.

" Absolutely amazing bird feed. Sunflower Seeds seem to bring tons of birds to the feeders, and this seed was no exception. The cardinals and bluejays love it, and my indoor kitty loves watching the birds. I love watching them all. The packaging is easy to handle and the container is easy to pour

“ We have three bird feeders. I usually purchase a mixed seed and I was happy to find this organic sunflower seed. The advertisement is correct, birds to favor the sunflower seed. We use this as a mix with other seed. Bird seed, especially, sunflower seed can be expensive at times so we try to stretch them out with a mixture. We have been watching the birds eat these up. We have two feeders just off our back porch and the birds fly in very close to feed. These are quality seeds and look forward to ordering with this brand in the future

Molly A.

" Wow, now this is a HUGE box of seed. I ran out really fast with the old bag, this one should last longer! I have so many cardinals, wrens and other little birds coming in now, this must be a really popular bird food with them. For the price, it's a nice mix and the birds love it.
