Organic, Sustainability & Regenerative Farming
Maya Angelou said “We did what we knew to do, and when we knew better, we did better.”
We started Ruff Bar, Ruff Food, and Ruff Supplements, using all organic products, seeds, herbs, and antibiotic and hormone free proteins. Our salmon is wild caught in Alaska, purchased locally in WA.
Our values include products that are free of preservatives. We have grass fed grass finished beef and bison available for our BSP Summit Bars. Ruff Bars are made with grass fed beef and bison.
I encourage you to check out @TangenDraw. Their regenerative ranching practices are the future we all need to support. Regenerative ranching goes beyond sustainability. I’m grateful for the business relationships that connected us to Morgan and her family.
Grass fed/finished isn’t affordable to everyone and possibly isn’t a priority for everyone, so we’ll try to maintain options for both. As pet parents / owners, we can only do what we know to do.
In case you’re wondering about this information on our product labels, there are strict rules about using words like ‘organic’, ‘sustainability’, ‘regenerative ranching’. We can say we purchase organic carrots, but unless our facility is certified organic, carrots can not be listed as organic in the label ingredients.
My ask is that we support local farmers when you can and purchase organic as often as possible.
We’re friends with grass fed/finished ranchers in Oregon and would be pleased to share their names. If you have local farms and ranches you’d like to tell others about, let us know.
One thing this business has taught me — there will always be less expensive versions of what we sell. I’m not willing to compromise by using fillers, preservatives, or any other harmful ingredients in our products. Ever.
Let’s see if we can increase the life span of our canine companions and improve their health along the way, too.
