🌿 Mixing Tips
• We start off by blending everything into a powder.
• Use a large container or bucket for even mixing.
• If using alfalfa pellets, grind them first in a blender or food processor.
• Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
•You can split into smaller jars or bags if you want to keep part of the batch extra fresh.
