🌾 Why ancient grains instead of wheat or corn?

Oats, millet, quinoa, and sorghum are authentic ancient grains, grown for thousands of years. Unlike modern wheat and corn, they are minimally processed, gluten-free or low in gluten, and offer a much richer nutritional profile: soluble fiber, complementary plant proteins, B vitamins, manganese, magnesium, and natural antioxidants. They are also better tolerated by most dogs.

🐔 Certified Humane®: humanely raised chicken

The chicken in this recipe carries the Certified Humane® certification, one of the most demanding humane farming programs in North America: adequate space to move, access to the outdoors, feed with no routine antibiotics, humane slaughter.

🔍 Radical traceability: the Open Farm signature

Open Farm is one of the only brands in the world to offer full traceability: a lot code printed on the bag gives access to the list of farms that supplied each ingredient. Radical transparency that goes beyond standard certifications.

🐔 Certified Humane® chicken

Main source of animal protein. Humanely raised on certified partner farms, with no routine antibiotics or growth hormones. Provides a complete profile of essential amino acids and excellent palatability.

Oat flakes

A gentle ancient grain for digestion, source of soluble fiber (beta-glucans) that support gut health and a balanced glycemic profile.

Millet, quinoa, and sorghum

A trio of gluten-free ancient grains: millet provides manganese and magnesium, quinoa offers a complete protein profile (all 9 essential amino acids), and sorghum is rich in natural antioxidants.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference with the Open Farm Grain-Free Turkey and Chicken recipe?

The Grain-Free Turkey and Chicken recipe uses no grains: the carbohydrates come from chickpeas, lentils, field peas, and potatoes. The current recipe (Chicken with ancient grains) takes the opposite approach: it uses ancient grains (oats, millet, quinoa, sorghum) and completely excludes legumes and potatoes. Choose based on your dog's preferences and your values: grain-free or with ancient grains.

Is my dog sensitive to grains?

Most dogs tolerate ancient grains like oats, millet, quinoa, and sorghum very well. True grain allergies are rare (about 1 to 2% of dogs). The most common sensitivities involve wheat, corn, and soy, which are not present in this recipe.

Why is there 0.2% added taurine?

Open Farm chose to add taurine in a generous amount (0.2%) across its ancient-grain dog range, as added support for heart function. Taurine is an amino acid dogs can normally synthesize, but direct intake is an added benefit for maintaining good heart health.

Is this food suitable for puppies?

This recipe is formulated for adult dogs. For puppies, Open Farm offers a specific ancient-grain puppy formula (also available from us), with calcium, phosphorus, and DHA levels adjusted for growth.

How does Open Farm traceability work?

Each bag has a lot code that identifies the farms and suppliers that contributed to that specific batch (chicken, fish, grains, vegetables). It's a unique level of transparency in the industry: Open Farm publishes the full list of its suppliers.
