Forget the generic bags from the big box stores. At Chippewa Farm Supply, we blend your bird feed right here in the store — by hand, to order, based on exactly what birds you want to attract. Tell us about your yard, your feeders, and the species that visit, and we’ll create a mix that’s made for you.
We know which birds are native to northeast Michigan and what they actually eat throughout the year. No filler, no waste.
Your blend is mixed when you order it — not sitting in a warehouse for months. Fresh seed means more birds at your feeder.
Not sure what to feed? Bring us a photo or description and we’ll help you identify your birds and build the perfect blend.
From your backyard birdwatching list to a fresh bag of custom feed — it’s as easy as stopping by the store.
Cardinals, finches, woodpeckers, hummingbirds — let us know which species visit your yard or which ones you’d like to attract. We’ll take it from there.
Using premium sunflower, safflower, millet, peanuts, nyjer, and more, we create a custom recipe tailored to your specific birds and feeder setup.
Grab your fresh blend at the store or have it delivered right to your door. We serve all of Alcona County and surrounding areas.
Every bird has its preference. Here’s what we recommend for the most popular visitors in northeast Michigan.
Black oil sunflower, safflower, white proso millet, and nyjer seed. The foundation of any great backyard bird feeding station.
Suet cakes, shelled peanuts, peanut butter blends, and specialty bark butter. We carry a wide selection of suet flavors year-round.
Nectar concentrates, ready-to-use nectar, and a full selection of hummingbird feeders in all sizes. Arrives in Michigan each May.
Cracked corn, grain mixes, milo, and wheat. Bulk quantities available for food plots, feeders, and habitat management.

For hunters, landowners, and anyone serious about managing their property for wildlife, we carry Tecomate Wildlife Systems — the gold standard in food plots and habitat management.
Clover, chicory, brassicas, and proprietary blends designed to attract and hold deer, turkey, and other game on your property year-round.
Expert guidance on creating the right mix of cover, food sources, and water to build a thriving wildlife habitat on any size property.
Mineral licks, scent attractants, and supplemental feeds to support healthy antler growth and keep deer coming back to your land.
Custom and prepackaged seed blends for food plots of all sizes — from a small backyard plot to hundreds of acres of managed timber.
What to feed the birds of northeast Michigan through every season. Stop in and we’ll set you up with the right blend all year long.
Transition to high-protein blends as migrating species return. Add nyjer for goldfinches arriving in April. Put out hummingbird feeders by mid-May. Nesting birds need calcium — offer crushed eggshells.
Keep nectar feeders clean and fresh — change every 3 days in heat. Offer fruit for orioles and tanagers. Sunflower and safflower remain staples. Provide a water source for bathing.
Migration season — boost calories with peanuts and suet. Increase sunflower seed quantities as birds fatten up for winter. Watch for evening grosbeaks and pine siskins passing through.
High-fat feeds are critical. Load up on suet, peanuts, and black oil sunflower. Keep feeders full — birds depend on reliable food sources in northeast Michigan’s harsh winters. Add cracked corn for ground feeders.
