Our Story

At Crunchies for your Munchies, we believe great food should never go to waste — and that our pets deserve the very best.

Our journey began at local markets, where we sold pasture-fed meats raised on our farm. When the world shifted after COVID-19, we found ourselves with freezers full of high-quality meat — especially nutrient-rich organ cuts. Instead of letting it go to waste, we tried something new: turning those cuts into wholesome dog treats. To our surprise, the response was incredible. People were eager to give their pets clean, nutritious snacks, and soon our dog treats became more popular than the meats themselves.

But our mission goes beyond treats. Every year, perfectly good food is discarded. We partner with grocery stores to rescue this food — dairy, frozen, deli items — and put it to better use. By freeze-drying and upcycling ingredients, we not only create delicious, shelf-stable products, but also help reduce the amount of waste heading to landfills.

Mission

Our Mission at Crunchy for your Munchies is to educate and inspire people on the benefits of freeze-dried foods, while making sustainability accessible — one treat at a time.

Our Farm

At the heart of what we do is a simple belief: animals deserve to be raised with care, space, and respect. On our family farm, our sheep, cows, and pigs live freely on open pasture, grazing naturally and growing at their own pace.
