GM free layers pellets?

Does anyone use a brand of pellets that still guarantee to be GM free?

We use marriages, which claim to be non-GM on their website

Allen & Page also do (or claim) non-GM feed (both the 'Smallholder' and the 'Organic feeds' range.
I use the organic layer pellets, quite pricey (not suprisingly) but my chooks don't eat much of it as they are completely free range but it's there for them.

I use Marriages Organic Layers pellets & Marriages Organic mixed corn. Not cheap but supposedly GM free.

do you buy them on-line? Our merchant only ever stocks the cheapest pellets at any time, currently it's Spillers (no longer GM free). As that's what people want I don't have hope he'll change brands just for me...

I get ours online from Farm and Pet place. Their delivery charges have recently gone up so they're not quite as cost effective as they were but if you're buying a lot, they will give you a discount. Both my local feed suppliers will order in whatever we want but I worked out that it came out at about the same price as buying them online and it took a lot longer (online I normally get it delivered two days after ordering so if ordered now, it would arrive Thursday, feed supplier ordering it in took a week and there's no way I'm well enough organised to know in a week's time that I'm going to run out).
