Our Ingredients
Below are the majority of ingredients used to create our Meadow Ridge Farms bird seed blends. Please contact us for the most up-to-date availability on our blends and ingredients.
Black Oil Sunflower
South Dakota-grown black oil sunflower seeds are the #1 choice for feeding wild birds. Black oil sunflowers are high in protein and fat, helping birds survive during colder months, find it in a handful of our mixes.
Sunflower Hearts
Sourced next door in South Dakota, our signature sunflower hearts seeds are oil-rich, high in protein & fat, and packed with the energy birds crave. These are pre-shelled making them a great waste-free option.
Canary Seeds
Grown by our neighbors to the north in Canada, Canary Seeds are fantastic for birds. It is rich with protein, and very high in amino acids. They contain much more potassium than a banana, and more calcium than milk.
Peanut Pieces
A favorite of jays and woodpeckers, our peanuts are locally grown in Alabama & Georgia. Perfect for peanut feeders or platform feeders, set out some peanuts and attract a variety of birds and critters to your garden!
Oats
We use oats grown in our home state of Minnesota! The oats are great carbohydrate additions to our wildlife mixes, adding extra energy to the seed while limiting the amount of shells.
Safflower
Our safflower, grown in South Dakota and Montana, is a favorite of cardinals. Pair with a ground feeder or tray and watch them flock to your garden! We also recommend paring this with our black oil sunflower seeds for a full bird buffet!
Cranberries
The cranberries used in our mixes are sourced by our friends right over in Wisconsin. They produce more than half of all cranberries in the world over there, so we know we are getting the best of the best.
Red Milo
Red Milo (Sorghum) is a favorite for Doves, Pigeons, Pheasants, and Turkeys. Although not featured in many of our mixes, it is a great option for larger game birds. Ours is grown in western parts of South Dakota.
Nyjer® Thistle
Nyjer® seed, also known as niger seed or thistle, is a high oil content seed used frequently in backyard bird feeders to attract a variety of finches. This is our only internationally sourced seed, as it is grown only in Ethiopia and some parts of India.
