Sugar Feather Farm Wholesale Feed
Custom non-GMO poultry and specialty fowl feeds born from the needs of our own diverse flocks. Professionally formulated, farm-proven, and now expanding to select independent feed stores, farm stores, and retailers.
Our Story
Sugar Feather Farm raises thousands of birds across different species, breeds, ages, and life stages — from tiny bantam chicks and quail to laying flocks, waterfowl, gamebirds, and specialty fowl.
We wanted nutrition that reflected the same thought we put into our breeding and husbandry programs, so we worked with experienced poultry nutrition professionals to develop our own non-GMO feed formulas.
What began as feed for the birds here at Sugar Feather Farm became something our customers wanted for their own flocks too. Now we're bringing Sugar Feather Farm Feed to select retailers.

Why Sugar Feather Farm
We don't experience poultry nutrition from behind a desk.
Sugar Feather Farm is a working Vermont conservation and specialty poultry farm raising rare, heritage, landrace, and unique fowl alongside traditional poultry, waterfowl, quail, gamebirds, and specialty species.
Every formula begins with the same question we ask on our own farm: would we feed this to our birds?

Would you like to own a one of a kind and beautiful show stopping bird? Check out our Lyonnaise (La poule Lyonnaise) flock! These birds are extremely rare and exceptionally gorgeous — we are proud of our flock. They are one of the most friendly and calm breeds we have here on the farm. What we love the most is the diversity of the flock — from frizzled feathers to flat, crests to no crests, 4 or 5 toes. Your flock can have all these features.
Lyonnaise are virtually unknown outside of their native France, and they are so rare that even in the erudite Aviculture Europe this fascinating chicken is listed under “Unknown Breeds.” Lyonnaise were created by breeder Mr. Etienne Tamburini of Lyon, France, in the 1950s, and it was almost two decades before this mid-sized large fowl was formally recognized as a breed. To develop the breed he crossed a white Silkie and a bantam Dutch rooster with a bare neck and frizzled feathers. These offspring were then crossed to a white-crested Dutch, and Black Hamburg. After, fourteen years of work, the breed was recognized in 1969. The breed was intended as a table fowl, and it is known for its excellent white meat. It is said that the Lyonnaise has one of the finest breast meats of all chickens. There is also a bantam sized Lyonnaise we have cultured here and is worth a look!
"We recommend starting baby chicks out with Sugar Feather Farm chick starter for the first 3 weeks, then switching to our Chicken Grower. Use the Grower Feed until they hit maturation (which is when they start to lay) then switch to Sugar Feather Farm Adult Feed.
We highly recommend using the Oil of Oregano in their water daily as a supplement to aid with digestion and overall health."
