FAQs

What is Union Point’s specialty?

Rather than specializing by a particular category of animals, we focus on how our feeds are made and sourced: Our specialty is making nutrient-dense feeds from clean, delicious and wholesome grains and proteins. We use domestic (USA) products sourced as close as possible to our mill. Local is a big bonus, logistically and from the perspective of sustainability. All of our feeds are pesticide and herbicide-free, and most are non-GMO.

When you say your ingredients are sourced from the Northwest, what does that mean?

Various ingredients grow in some climates better than others and if you’re from the Northwest, you know there’s tremendous variation west of the Cascades and east. We source as close to the mill, which is in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, as possible. Most ingredients come from Washington and Oregon. But if we need to, we consider Montana, Idaho and northern California part of our regional sourcing footprint.

It looks like you mostly ship in boxes. Is that right?

Our online orders are generally smaller, for people with backyard birds, and the boxes are perfect for those folks. Generally, one or two boxes will do. But if you need more than that, we encourage you to find a retailer.

Do you still do custom formulas?

Yes. That is an important part of our mission. We make feeds to our clients’ standards. We are specially built for this and can provide a unique service to help them achieve their goals. We’re the only nutritionist owned mill that we know of in the Northwest, and we enjoy working on new projects and being able to take a concept to completion.

What about certified organic?

Yes, we make certified organic feeds if that is what the customer wants. Please discuss this with us.
