MEQUON, WIS. — Fromm Family Foods announced its first foray into the frozen pet food category with the launch of Bonnihill Farms, a line of gently cooked, fresh/frozen dog food formulas. Inspired by Fromm’s farming heritage, the new line includes fresh recipes made in small batches and formulated with locally harvested ingredients from the Midwest.
“My family immigrated to the United States in the 1850s and came to this country with a love of freedom and a value system based on honesty and hard work,” said Bryan Nieman, brand director for Fromm Family Foods, which represents in the fifth generation of his family business. “They cultivated our land and built a legacy business rooted in quality, consistency and continuous innovation. Farming is a proud part of our family history and Bonnihill Farms honors our heritage while honoring our commitment to innovation, diversity and unparalleled pet nutrition.”
Fresh/frozen diets are a completely new product offering for Fromm, expanding its variety of offerings while also following the company’s dedication to continuous innovation. The Bonnihill Farms line is manufactured in a purpose-built facility, representing a new addition to the Columbus, Wis.-based manufacturing campus. According to Fromm, this makes Bonnihill Farms’ new line unique in the frozen category, as many brands in the frozen space outsource production to co-packers.
The Bonnihill Farms collection will include three delicious formulas — CHICKiBOWLS, BEEFiBOWLS and TURKiBOWLS — all made with quality Midwest-sourced meats and produce. The diets are “carefully crafted” in Wisconsin using a sous-vide style cooking method that uses low temperatures to help maximize nutrient retention and flavor. The products are then frozen to maintain freshness. Diets can be served as a complete-and-balanced meal or meal topper.
“We put a lot of time and care into developing Bonnihill Farms,” said Nieman. “As a brand known for industry-leading quality and consistency, it is imperative that we do not outsource research and development or the manufacturing process. As a result, we now have one of the best-tasting gently cooked dog foods on the market with the quality our customers expect. After all, our pets are important members of our families, and they deserve the best from us.”
Fromm’s Bonnihill Farms new dog foods are available through select distributors.
