mighty oats

Except for the goats, organically grown oats are the staple food for all the animals at the farm. John + Mary buy them in 1500 pound containers (see photo below - I placed a pumpkin in front for scale). We soak them and sprout them, the chickens and turkeys get the sprouted oats, and the pigs get the soaked oats. They are sprouted for increased nutritional value, just like the sprouted grain bread that we eat.
