Guide Review - NePo Suet - Handcrafted Suet Cakes
Suet is a fantastic food for many backyard birds, and the premium, handcrafted suet offered by the NePo Suet Company is a superb choice for birders. Crafted in small batches with multiple renderings to ensure purity, these suet cakes are denser and heavier than many commercially produced suet cakes, which means they will last longer and feed more birds.
All NePo Suet cakes include beef kidney suet, and eight different blends are available:
- Insect: Features roughly 300 roasted mealworms per cake
- Insect & Nut: Includes roasted mealworms and 8 different types of nuts
- Woodpecker Nut: Includes different nuts, both pieces and whole nut meats
- Insect & Seed & Nut: Featuring nuts, seeds and insects to tempt every bird
- Hot Pepper: Classic suet blended with hot peppers to deter squirrels
- Peanut Butter: Blended with peanut butter and nut pieces
- Blueberry: Includes bits of berries for a sweet treat
- Just Suet!: Plain, smooth suet perfect for any bird
All of these suet varieties are available in thick cakes sized to fit all standard suet feeders, or birders who prefer to offer suet in ground or tray feeders can try the Suet Crumbles, bits of all the suet blends served in smaller bites. Suet cakes can be purchased individually and range from $3-5 per cake, and larger orders qualify for free shipping. Monthly online specials offer fantastic deals, and non-profit organizations, bird refuges and similar organizations can inquire about additional discounts.
NePo Suet cakes are blended to be no-melt varieties, though all suet should be kept out of direct sunlight in extreme temperatures. Additional suet feeding tips are available through the company's website and are only part of the excellent customer service offered.
In addition to providing superior quality suet, NePo Suet prides itself on being environmentally responsible. All products are minimally packaged so no materials are wasted, and monthly donations are made to wildlife- and bird-related charities.
