What the Project Is About
NOURISH TO FLOURISH — MAKING THE BEST FOOD FOR HEALTHIER ANIMALS — is a project dedicated to transforming the food products industry. The initiative began when Diana observed that conventional chicken feed was falling short in terms of nutrition, quality, and sustainability… Rather than accepting the status quo, there was a clear call to change the system. The project stands out by offering feeds that are not only nutritionally sound but are also produced with strict attention to environmental and animal welfare standards. With a focus on organic, non-GMO, chicken feed, and even specialized feeds such as soy free feed, whole grain feed, raw feed, turkey feed, pig feed, and goat feed, the project is a pioneer in its field. Every product carries the hallmark of quality and is USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC, reinforcing its commitment to premium standards.

The Vision Behind the Feed
The story begins with a simple yet powerful observation: conventional chicken feed was not meeting the necessary benchmarks for quality or sustainability. When Diana saw the nutritional gaps and environmental concerns tied to standard chicken feed, she asked – why not change the system? While the idea started with improving chicken feed, it quickly evolved into a mission to craft the most wholesome and nutritious animal feed available. It’s a vision that embraces change and champions quality, ensuring that every pellet produced is a step towards better health and sustainability for animals, all while giving a nod to traditional values and progressive innovation.
Local Commitment and Sustainability
A defining facet of the project is its unwavering commitment to local sourcing and sustainability. MADE IN NORTH AMERICA isn’t just a label—it’s a promise of quality built on strong, reliable relationships with local farmers and businesses. In today’s interconnected economy, supporting local partners isn’t just beneficial for business; it’s a compassionate move toward a more sustainable future. The local focus also means that the organic, non-GMO feeds are not only created responsibly but are also accessible and tailored to the specific needs of the region’s livestock, making this initiative a trusted resource among local communities and agricultural professionals alike.
Quality and Certifications
The pursuit of quality resonates throughout every aspect of the project. From the moment ingredients are sourced to the final processing stages, the focus remains on achieving the highest standards. The label USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC seen on all Scratch & Peck Feeds products is a testament to the rigorous production practices. Being the first feed manufacturer to be both certified organic and non-GMO verified, the project serves as a benchmark—proving that excellence in nutrition and environmental stewardship can indeed go hand in hand. Every product is made with care and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring it is organic, free from genetically modified organisms, and crafted with the welfare of animals and the health of the environment in mind.
Innovative Approach in Feed Production
Innovation is at the heart of this project. The approach to feed production is both traditional and forward-thinking, harnessing the benefits of organic farming while integrating modern quality control processes. With a friendly nod to the past and an eager glance toward the future, this initiative not only offers chicken feed but also caters to other animals with products like turkey feed, pig feed, and goat feed. The feeds are often referred to as raw and whole grain, designed to mimic the natural diet of animals. This innovative blend of reliability and creativity ensures that every feed variant is both nutritious and in tune with contemporary demands for sustainability and responsible consumption.
