Why do we work with small farms?
Created with care
We source all of our farm-fresh products raw, directly from our farm partners. We take great care in creating the best product possible, not only to maximize the nutrition during dehydration, but to honor the hard work of the farmers who humanely raised their livestock. We stand behind our treats with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed promise: We will always make the situation right.
Farming with integrity
It all starts with how a farm operates. Our farm partners provide their livestock with a natural environment where they spend their days grazing over open acres of land and eating their natural, organic diet. Animals that have access to their instinctual drives (like moving in herds, digging through earth, choosing what to eat) are happier and healthy for their entire lifetime. By sourcing from these types of farms, we are able to give our customers access to a healthier, higher quality treat.
Value worth supporting
Small farmers have chosen a path of passion and love of animals and the earth, and it is no easy path. We join those farmers by choosing a path that is more challenging than most manufacturers. We want our customers to know exactly where we sourced the product they are feeding their pets. “Made in USA”, or even “made in GA” is not good enough for us. Each bag will show where the product originated, for example, White Oak Pastures. We believe there is value in our customers having that level of knowledge and confidence in what they are feeding their best friend.
