premium quality pet food ingredients
At Mesa Verde, we source our ingredients only from growers and food processors we know. We walk the rows with them and watch for quality all season. It’s unusual, but that personal connection ensures healthy ingredients from the field to the customer.
Mesa Verde’s drying and processing facilities are strategically stationed in top agricultural production zones, allowing us to source exceptional ingredients from growers and food processors we know and trust. Within each operation, we maintain a boots-on-the-ground presence at all supply chain points to provide quality assurance from the field to the customer.
Do you need hard-to-find ingredients like organic dried vegetables and fruits, pre-cooked ancient grain, or other unique items? We can create a supply chain to meet your needs, always sourced from a US origin whenever possible, and always with our signature end-to-end quality control.

Mesa Verde’s custom blending operation enables us to provide you with a safe, accurate pre-mix of your ingredients. As a result, you can create pet food formulations without the added time and expense of sourcing, storage, self-blending and other tasks.
Our Process
Receiving
Raw materials arrive from our trusted growers and processors, and are thoroughly inspected and tested for quality. Upon approval, ingredients are stored on site.
Blending
Ingredients are blended to meet customer specifications during our batching process, when they are conveyed through our mill for consistency and blending.
Grinding & Hammer Milling
Our capabilities include a full range of particle reduction processes to ensure dietary specifications and customer preferences are met. For formulations requiring the addition of ingredients or pre-mixes, we can regrind after a secondary round of batching and blending.
Sifting
A final inspection and uniformity check is performed to eliminate any unwanted materials. Formulations requiring the addition of ingredients or pre-mixes can be resifted following a secondary round of batching, blending and milling.
Inspection & Shipping
The pre-mix is given a final round of inspection and testing before it is approved for shipping.
