Founded in 1979, Blue Ridge Beef manufactures raw pet food from its two facilities in North Carolina and Georgia. Products include raw beef (with and without organ meats), chicken with bone, duck with bone and turkey. Owners Steve and Dean pride themselves on food safety, sourcing only US products from local suppliers. "We can monitor the quality of the products much more closely knowingwhere it comes from. We won't put our name on it unless we know exactly what it is,"said Steve. Blue Ridge Beef differentiates itself from other raw food manufacturers with a strict adherence to grain-free food. Steve explains, "Some companies mix in kibble and other fillers. Our pet food is 100% pure and specific for each individual's needs, with no preservatives or additives. This makes the educated consumer happy." Additionally, all products are manufactured as fresh as possible, flash frozen overnight at -20° immediately after packaging. Blue Ridge Beef currently ships its products along the East Coast of the US. However, as consumer demand for safe, all-natural pet food reaches new levels, Steve and Dean see opportunity for growth. With the goalof growing market share to cover the entire United States, they recognized the need for a faster packaging line.
