The Harvest Story: Wild Bird Food Experts

Located in the heart of rural Lincolnshire, Harvest Wildlife Products is a family-owned business with over 125 years’ expertise producing wild bird food, spanning three generations. Our sixteen-acre site, surrounded by farmland and a diverse wildlife population, inspires us to formulate our blends to cater for a wide variety of species, ensuring a balanced and healthy diet for all.

We’ve worked hard to achieve BRCGS Food Safety AA and Sedex certifications. These mean we follow strict rules for food safety and ethical sourcing. We’re one of the only UK wild bird food manufacturers with the AA rating, which shows how serious we are about quality. We source premium ingredients and clean seeds on-site to reduce dust and chaff.

Our suet products are enhanced with human grade beef tallow, a high-quality, readily digestible fat source which is rich in essential vitamins and sourced from British farms. From seed blends and straights to insect and suet products, we’re committed to providing a complete range of nutritious options that benefit the birds in your garden.

Unique Cleaning Process

At Harvest Wildlife Products, our unique cleaning process ensures the highest standards of quality, safety and nutrition in every bag of wild bird seed we produce. From carefully controlled raw material intake, all seeds undergo thorough sampling and screening before passing through advanced gravity cleaning systems that remove dust, husk, waste and foreign materials.

Multiple contamination and magnet checks are carried out throughout the process to eliminate metal fragments and impurities, while continuous dust extraction improves cleanliness and consistency. Seeds are then gently polished with oil to enhance freshness, palatability and energy value for garden birds. This rigorous, multi-stage seed cleaning and quality control process allows us to produce clean, high-energy wild bird seed mixes trusted by retailers and bird lovers across the UK.
