In a few words

Open Farm RawMix dry food is a premium grain-free kibble line with bone broth and freeze-dried raw inclusions. It is designed for owners who want dry-food convenience with a less ordinary ingredient profile.

From our review of Open Farm's Front Range product page, we really like the focus on ethically sourced proteins, traceable ingredients, and strong recipe transparency.

Our verdict

After reviewing the full lineup, we rate Open Farm's grain-free line as top-tier, and the RawMix range builds on that with freeze-dried raw inclusions and broth-coated kibble. The Front Range recipe is one of the most recognizable formulas in the lineup.

For this review, Open Farm lands at 9.0/10. We really like the sourcing standards and ingredient quality, though it still sits in the premium-price tier.

How it works

Open Farm RawMix combines premium kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces for texture and protein variety. We see it as a practical step up for owners who want more than standard dry food.

  • Pick a protein-forward recipe such as Front Range
  • Serve as a complete meal using feeding guidance
  • Store in a cool, dry place and reseal after use
  • Adjust portions by age, body condition, and activity
  • Transition over several days from your previous food
