Small-farm partnerships are why we’re able to stand behind every product we make. For each treat you buy, you will know the farm it came from. These farmers are responsible caretakers focused on environmental sustainability and raising animals with the respect and honor they deserve.
We want to be 100% certain that we’re providing our customers with products that are 100% free of antibiotics, hormones, chemicals and pesticides – and direct from the family farm.
We are also learning that many small farms join/create co-operatives to bring their product to market. It is not reasonable nor profitable for every family farm to try and navigate the path to market. They join together to survive.
We started this adventure focusing on the health and happiness of dogs. Along the way, we made a commitment to cultivating small-farm relationships, and to helping our partners grow. We are just beginning our search for the great small farms across America. We hope you will enjoy the journey with us!
WHITE OAK PASTURES, Bluffton, GA
White Oak Pastures, our first farm partner, is a truly exceptional family farm. Five generations of the Harris family have worked day in and day out raising cattle. Today, they raise 10 species of livestock.
They are Certified Humane, their land is Certified Organic, and they have their own on-site abattoirs. They are recognized by the Global Animal Project with the highest achievable ratings. They are a zero-waste farm. We could go on and on!
