Most commercial pet foods are built on cheap, shelf-stable fillers like corn and soy—ingredients no dog or cat ever hunted in the wild. But for a growing number of pet owners (and farmers), that just doesn’t sit right.

That’s where Farmers Direct Pet Foods comes in—a collective of small, local farms providing raw, nutrient-rich pet food raised with integrity and care.

🌾 A Farmer’s Vision

Alex Miller, a lifelong animal lover and farmer, saw the disconnect firsthand. He was raising livestock the right way—on pasture, humanely, and locally—but noticed that pet food rarely reflected the same values.

“Why can’t our pets eat food that’s as honest and nourishing as what we feed our families?” he wondered.

That question sparked a mission—and eventually, a movement.

From Farm to Bowl

Everything at Farmers Direct starts with real animals, raised on local farms with ethical practices. The meat comes from pasture-raised livestock, processed within 100 miles of Three Rivers Market.

From there, it’s gently processed—often freeze-dried—to preserve nutrients, flavor, and protein content without any additives or fillers.

The result? Food that honors what animals were built to eat—and pets that thrive on it.

“Give them what they were built to eat.”

That’s Alex’s philosophy, and it shows. Pets love the freeze-dried treats, packed with natural protein and flavor that appeals to their carnivorous instincts. And pet parents love the transparency, sustainability, and trust that comes with every bite.

Why It Matters

Feeding pets shouldn’t be about what’s cheapest or most convenient for big companies. It should be about respect, care, and doing what’s right…one bowl at a time.

When you support Farmers Direct Pet Foods, you’re not just feeding your pet better—you’re supporting small farms, sustainable agriculture, and a food system built on values.

Because our furry companions deserve better—and now, they can have it.
