Burlington, Washington- Scratch and Peck Feeds, a Bellingham based manufacturer of organic pet feed announced in a blog post they are moving their operations to Burlington, Washington in 2017 to meet the increase in demand for clean, wholesome animal feed.
Scratch and Peck feeds currently manufactures Organic Chicken Feed, Organic Turkey Feed, Organic Pig Feed, Organic Goat Feed, and more in Bellingham, Washignton. As more and more people seek organic food for their chickens, ducks, and livestock their need for a larger space has increased.
The new facility in Skagit County is more than double in square footage from our current mill and production work area, and the space includes the addition of indoor and outdoor silos for grain and ingredient storage. The location and facility accommodates the steady growth we have been experiencing, said owner Diana Ambauen-Meade in the blog post.
“Ensuring that we have a safe and functional work environment is a top priority. The size of this new facility gives us room to increase our efficiency and productivity to meet increased sales, while also better serving our employees and customers. ”
“With growth comes new challenges, and we are looking forward to addressing those in the new space by offering a shorter production window for our wholesale and online orders, increasing automation in our production system, and adding more warehouse space – not to mention, being in Skagit County locates us closer to many of our organic grain producers and farmers,” she added. “We achieved our goal of finding all these components in one space, making this an exciting and much anticipated time for our company.”
The search for our new space, located in Burlington off Interstate 5, took several years. The facility is 40,000 square feet compared to our current mill and production space in Bellingham, which is 15,000 square feet. Our new space will bring increased automation for milling feed and bagging all products. There are seven grain silos in total, loading docks for loading and unloading trucks, larger office space, more electrical capacity, and yard space for truck maneuvering.
“We have been honored by our customer loyalty all these years. Our customers have been instrumental in helping us change the way food is made – they are truly dedicated to organic agriculture and more transparency throughout our food systems” the blog post stated.
