Happiness is Homemade
With almost 10 million square kilometres of lakes, rivers and forests, that means some of the best raw ingredients are on Hagen's doorstep. Cage-free chicken, wild-caught fish from the cold, clear waters of the Pacific Northwest, turkey from Fraser Valley & produce direct from Canadian farmers, ranchers & fishermen.
Only the best raw ingredients make it into every bag of Nutrience. The focus is on sourcing the best quality ingredients as close to possible to the production facility to strive for continual freshness.
Wild-caught fish, meat & poultry are delivered fresh, for a noticeable improvement in palatability to the last bite. Nutrience is made with minimally-processed ingredients & a multi-protein approach to more closely mimic a carnivore’s ancestral diet.
