Sprouting for your Feathered Friends

We have offered sprout mixes for birds for several years now, as they were requested by so many of you Aviculturists. We love animals but we know little about the care and feeding of birds besides the starling we raised from a chick and the dozen chickens we kept when we lived in rural Southern Illinois. All of the bird info on our pages is currently borrowed from bird web sites and we suggest that you visit them for information and help in all things avian.

Our experience is as professional sprout growers and sprout eaters. In the 12 years we were professional growers, we grew over 200 tons of sprouts, by hand (rinsing and draining 2-3 times a day over a sink, just like you), so we know a whole lot about sprouting. We have eaten a whole lot of sprouts and have fed them to our dogs and cats, but since we don't have birds we can't assist you excepting in sprouting procedure. We love to help home sprouters, so if you have a sprouting question and can't find the answer on our site,
do ask us.

We offer many sprouting devices and by far the widest selection of sprouting seeds on the planet.

All of the seeds in our Bird Mixes are from farmers who are Certified Organic!

Our mixes are gorgeous (if we do say so ourselves) and all the seeds sprout wonderfully. The proportions are based largely on our aesthetic. If you have suggestions for us that will make your birds happiest just send them along. You may buy our mixes right from this page or go to our shopping area for all of our Critter Supplies including numerous sprouting devices. If you poke around you'll find we also sell seeds for people too =;-)

We only use the phone for emergencies.
Back in 2001 we were still using the phone. One day I was talking to a long-time customer while pushing my (then 4 year old) daughter on the swing in our backyard (this is what a mom n' pop business is like on the internet). It dawned on me that my priorities were severely messed up, so I stopped using the phone. I love to talk and I love to help, but my family would never see me if I picked up the phone again, and that's just wrong don't you think?!

The very best way to contact us is through E-mail =:-)
We are quite fast and VERY thorough. We love to help.

We have been an internet only business since 2001. We are not a big corporation. We are but 2 people, Mom n' Pop Sprout. We decided after years of juggling our family's (kids, dogs, cats and even our own) needs, and the needs of Sproutpeople, that we had to make more time for our kids, so we stopped talking on the phone. All calls go to voice mail and have since 2001.

We are very fast to fill orders and answer e-mail, and though we wish we could make the time to talk, we just can't seem to get more minutes into a each hour. We are many years older than when we started and our days are too short and made up of too few hours to do everything. This limitation in our business has not kept us from pleasing our customers, nor from growing (as we have every year since 1993). We do what we do as well as we can, and we think we do it very well indeed.

We appreciate your patronage more than we can say. We ask that you use the phone for emergencies only and that you search our site for answers before e-mailing us. This site is bigger than any 4 sprout books put together, it is always available and it is free, and we know that almost all questions are answered here.

Thanks again for your support and your many kind words.
