Mountaineer Audubon Wild Bird Seed Sale-  Order Now for Winter
This is our major fundraiser for the year to support local programs, education efforts and conservation projects.  Some seed prices have gone up this year, but Southern States in Sabraton has worked hard to give us the best prices they can get.  Be sure to utilize them for purchases of feeders or additional seed you might need during the feeding season.  They also have a nice selection of annuals, perennials, and plants for the fruit and vegetable garden in the spring.
