We are all on the bandwagon for eating local and organic, but does the same apply for our furry friends? Recently I found out about Chow Now, a local pet food company based out of Marshall, Virginia. Chow Now embraces the Farm to Bowl concept and is intimately involved with the production– from the farm to the bowl– of its all-natural frozen pet food line. Chow

Now partners with local sustainable farms in the Virginia. They make sure all the animals are raised humanely on pasture, without antibiotics, added growth hormones or medicated feeds. The produce is all certified organic. Pure and simple, these food blends appeal to even the most finicky eaters; we will have to ask Angel, The Piedmont Virginian resident pooch. Right now the frozen foods are available at Marshall IGA, ECow, and For Goodness Sake.
