Protein is the single most important nutrient in dog and cat nutrition. Other food companies are indifferent when it comes to the source, purity, and humane treatment of the protein source – factors that all contribute to final quality. But here at State of Nature, it’s one of our main concerns.

We proudly source the best table-grade ingredients from farms local to our kitchen in New York’s Hudson Valley. We believe healthy livestock leads to healthy food, which is why we only work with farms that utilize humane practices. To ensure our standards for quality and safety are met, we personally pick up our ingredients straight from the farm.

The local family farms we work with are located no more than four hours from our kitchen, guaranteeing the smallest possible environmental impact and the freshest ingredients.

Sourcing locally makes our production times lightning fast. From farm to freezer, the whole process takes less than 24 hours!

Supporting our local farmers is not only good for the environment but also plays a positive role in supporting the local economy and our pets. In return, we get clean, nutritious protein ingredients without any middleman involvement in processing.
