Open Door Kitchen Tours

Big Country Raw Opening Kitchen Doors for Public Tours to Support Manufacturing Month

Smithville, Ontario – As part of a partnership with Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME), Big Country Raw will open its kitchen and host complimentary public tours between 10:00 am – 11:30 am on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.

The purpose of this venture is to continue to raise the profile of manufacturing with local residents, as well as providing an opportunity to those who may be interested to see first-hand the care – and food safety – that goes into preparing raw pet food.

This opportunity is well-timed as Big Country Raw recently completed their second HACCP Audit and received a 98% score or “Excellent” through the world leader in audit and certification services., Bureau Veritas.

“We are excited to open our doors to our community – the first time we’ve offered public tours in 4 years when we moved to this location. The tour will highlight various functions including Order Fulfilment, Production and Food Safety. Anyone who has an interest in either manufacturing or pet nutrition will come away with a new appreciation on what happens behind the scenes in order to produce the highest quality raw pet food,” says Geraldine Brouwer, Co-Owner.

“Manufacturing is the heart of what we do at Big Country Raw and where we started our journey. Although we’ve come a long way over the past 11 years – including moving production from our home to a state-of-the-art building – we wouldn’t be able to do it without our dedicated team who puts so much care into how our food is produced and packaged,” says Rob Brouwer, Co-Owner
