Radio Flyer Car!
Fred Keller and Judy Foster's "retirement" project, isn't something you'd expect. The two built a car modeled after a Radio Flyer wagon, complete with handle and red buttons on the wheels. The car began as a 1976 Mazda Pickup truck, and the project began in the summer of 2009. They completed it in early August and have been turning heads everywhere they go.

The extraordinary seeds in our custom blends have proven to be most attractive to the widest variety of birds that visit backyard feeders. Most of our seed comes from Michigan distributors freshly mixed to our specifications every week. On average, over 3,500 pounds of assorted beak-smackin' good seed flies out of our little shoppe every week! In fact, we are so proud of our bird seed, and the environmentally friendly craft paper bags, that we put our name on 'em!  But, it's really the content that matters...try a bag and see what the birds are all talking about!

In addition to our custom blended mixes (shown below), we carry an assortment of other seeds and nuts including: 99% clean, premium black-oil sunflower seeds, hulled select sunflower chips - fine and coarse, bright white safflower, NutraSaff™, thistle (niger, or "Guizotia abyssinica" seed), peanuts - whole & shelled, corn - cob, cracked, whole walnuts, & whole or hulled millet, plus, a variety of suet products (see suet page).

Trying to avoid squirrels?
Safflower >>
Seeds like bright white safflower and thistle (niger, or "Guizotia abyssinica" seed) have advantages for some consumers battling critters at their feeders. Squirrels are not fond of either of these seeds. No baffles or additional equipment required. We'll help you select the right seed or custom blend to attract the type of birds you desire.

NutraSaff™
Organic Golden Safflower is a new variety of safflower developed without the thick white hull, yet offers 15% more oil content, 25% higher protein 30% higher fat content (energy) than traditional "bright white safflower". NutraSaffTM provides higher energy sources with less waste and less mess around feeding stations. However, unlike traditional bright white safflower seed, we have found red squirrels and black birds are somewhat attracted to NutraSaffTM.

Thistle / Niger
(Guizotia abyssinica) This tiny black seed has a high oil content and is very appealing to American Goldfinches and other finches. Place this seed in a finch tube feeder that has tiny holes so the seed will not fall out. The seed has a shell, so imagine how small the meats of the niger seed are!

Feeding birds "thistle" seed will not create a problem for your yard because the seed will not sprout under the feeder. This bird seed is not from the wildflower thistle. The seed that is fed to birds commonly called "thistle" is actually imported from India, Ethiopia, Myanmar, and Nepal. It is heat-sterilized when it is imported into this country so it will not germinate and therefore will not grow (weeds) under your feeder.

Cardinal Delight™
One of the best tube-feeder blends.
99% clean premium Black-oil Sunflower, bright white Safflower, and Select Sunflower Chips.

J.J.'s Best Mix™
For all types of feeders, “best” all around seed blend for the widest variety of birds. 99% clean premium Black-oil Sunflower, White-proso Millet, bright white Safflower, Select sunflower chips, Peanuts, Medium Cracked corn, Grit & Soy Oil. We sell tons of it every month...literally.

"No-Mess" Mix ™
Select sunflower chips, peanut splits, and hulled white-proso millet. A mighty rich mix high in proteins and essentials fats. For most any feeder type with virtually "no mess" because the shells have been removed - the mix is 99.9% consumable! (Sure, there is typically one or two rebel shells in the bag that refuse to go.) Seeds which fall to ground that are not eaten by ground feeding birds and critters - uneaten seeds will not germinate.

J.J.'s Finch Mix™
Finches love this mix of their two favorite seeds. Finely crushed Select Sunflower Chips and Thistle (niger, or "Guizotia abyssinica" seed).

Tip: be sure the feeder used with this product is well protected with a baffle or other device to keep squirrels out. Critters are not fond of Thistle (niger) but love the sunflower hearts!

Contains: mixed nuts, sunflower hearts, dried Michigan cherries, suet balls, and raisins.

JJ's Woodpecker Mix ™
