Quality

Not all bird food is the same and why ours is only high quality

The first thing to say about the quality of bird food is that it varies enormously throughout the market. This is especially true of seed 'mixes', where it's easy to hide poor quality ingredients and even some which most birds don't eat! (Some mixes and the type often found in pet shops and on market stalls, contain all sorts of 'fillers' such as crushed dog biscuit and dried peas.) On the face of it such products seem good value and are certainly cheap, but actually they're poor value because not only are some of the ingredients not eaten by garden birds, but others just go to waste and end up either rotting or the seeds germinating on the ground below the feeder. So rule number one is: Don't buy cheap bird food!

Vine House Farm only sells high quality bird food

At the next level up, you can reasonably expect bird food purchased from most online bird food specialists to be of reasonable quality, but it still most certainly isn’t all the same. Again, this is especially true of bird seed mixes, though relatively poor quality straight foods such as peanuts and sunflower hearts are still available to disappoint unwary customers – but never from Vine House Farm bird foods.


We not only ensure that all the bird foods we supply are high quality and consistently so, but our unique position of growing much of what we supply means we have control over the quality at every stage of the process. So taking black sunflower as an example, we can control the quality from the time we sow the seed into the ground, to when it’s packed at our own facility here on the farm. We’re not aware of any other bird food business which can make such a claim.

So buying from Vine House Farm bird foods means you can do so in the knowledge that you’ll only receive consistent high quality.
