Company Expands Co-Manufacturing Capabilities with State-of-the-Art Technology, Triples Capacity and Creates 50 New Jobs
Greensburg, IN – November 18, 2025 – Shepherd Boy Farms, the family-owned manufacturer of freeze-dried, farm to table, dog and cat food and treats, announced today plans for a new 100,000-square-foot production facility in Greensburg, Indiana. The new $50 million manufacturing facility marks a major milestone for the company, expanding its production capacity and co-manufacturing capabilities to meet growing global demand for its trusted, made-in-the-USA pet nutrition brand.
Shepherd Boy Farms will add to its existing facility – expanding its footprint to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities, support its growing co-manufacturing and private label partnerships, and meet increasing demand.
Combining both facilities, Shepherd Boy Farms’ total output will exceed 20 million pounds of freeze-dried pet food annually, reinforcing its position as a leading co-manufacturer and innovator in the pet nutrition industry. The new facility will create 50 new local jobs, further strengthening the company’s commitment to the community and U.S.-made manufacturing.
“Shepherd Boy Farms was built on the belief that pets deserve the same quality of nutrition as family,” said Ashton Hood, Founder and CEO of Shepherd Boy Farms. “We’ve been co-manufacturing since the beginning – it’s in our DNA. This expansion allows us to serve more pet parents and brand partners around the world who are looking for natural, nutrient-dense options they can trust, made in the USA.”
From formulation to packaging, Shepherd Boy Farms offers a full turnkey solution for co-manufacturing and private label customers. The new facility will also feature state-of-the-art dicing and custom-made proprietary freeze-drying equipment, enhancing efficiency, consistency, and scalability. In addition to Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) capabilities, the investment represents a major step forward in innovation and quality control across all product lines.
Known for its Freeze-Dried Goat’s Milk, Shepherd Boy Farms is the only brand offering freeze-dried raw goat’s milk sourced exclusively from pasture-fed goats raised in the U.S. with no antibiotics or added hormones. The company’s gentle freeze-drying process preserves up to 97% of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, ensuring optimal nutrition without fillers or chemical preservatives.
Shepherd Boy Farms offers a wide range of products, including Beef, Bison, Chicken, Cod, Pork, Turkey, Kangaroo, Salmon, Whitefish, Tuna, Alligator, Minnows, Duck, Goat Milk, and an array of fruits and vegetables, including a new cat line. All products are crafted with natural ingredients, designed to support digestion and immune health through the natural probiotics found in raw goat’s milk.
