Open Farm Farmer's Table Pork Grain-Free Dog Kibble

Editor ingredient insight

Open Farm Grain-Free Pork is useful when chicken needs to be avoided but strict single-protein feeding is not required and pork palatability is the goal.

G.A.P. pork leads, but whitefish meal is third and menhaden fish meal plus salmon oil are also present, so it is really a pork-and-fish formula.

At 30% protein, 14% fat, 3,521 kcal/kg, 1.2% calcium, 1.0% phosphorus, 0.11% DHA/EPA, and 0.45% omega-3s, the disclosure is useful.

Choose another recipe for fish avoidance or dogs whose stool reacts to chickpeas, peas, or lentils.

G.A.P. Step 1 Pork

G.A.P. Step 1 Pork is a named fresh meat ingredient. The animal source is clearly identified. It reads as an top-tier protein source.

Ingredient #2Lower

Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)

Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas) is a whole plant-protein ingredient. It is not a processed protein concentrate, but when it appears near the top it can still weaken the animal-protein-led structure. It reads as an lower-tier plant protein booster.

Ingredient #3Upper

Whitefish Meal

Whitefish Meal is a species-named animal meal ingredient. It is rendered rather than fresh, but the species source is still clearly identified. It reads as an upper-tier protein source.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG

What to consider before feeding

G.A.P. Step 1 Pork, Whitefish Meal supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. Sweet Potatoes supply carbohydrate energy. The recipe combines animal protein sources with carbohydrate sources.

Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas), Field Peas contribute plant protein alongside carbohydrates and fiber among the leading ingredients. Total crude protein is not a measure of meat-derived protein alone. Coconut Oil add fat and energy; fat content is a separate choice criterion from the protein sources.

Across the registered ingredients, multiple protein sources appear, including pork, unspecified, menhaden. Some protein sources are not fully identified, which limits choices that require excluding a specific protein.

What works well in this food

  • The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
  • Crude protein is on the higher side.
  • Calorie density is on the lower side.
  • Nutrient disclosure is broad enough to compare real numbers directly.

Check before feeding

  • Phosphorus is 1% on the label, at or above 1%. Senior dogs or dogs with kidney concerns should have phosphorus restriction reviewed with a veterinarian before using it as a staple food.
  • Fresh meat carries a moisture variable. When whole plant protein sources are also high in the list, part of the crude-protein number may come from those plant ingredients.
  • Whole plant protein sources can contribute to crude protein, so the animal-protein share still needs a closer read.

When this food fits your dog

Among foods made the same way, protein is higher, fat is typical, and calorie density is lower. This combination is worth comparing when protein matters but a higher-calorie food is not the aim. High protein alone does not make it an active-dog-only food; judge weight changes against total daily calories.

Consider it first when

  • Public-data-first comparison
  • Baseline shortlist building
  • Conservative first-pass screening

Choose another food first when

  • You want a stronger ingredient-quality story first
  • You need dog-specific fit instead of public-review screening

Plant-protein concentration remains the clearest trade-off here.

Final word

Interpret this for my dog

The food-first public score is only the starting point. Once your dog’s activity, weight goals, life stage, and health status are applied, the recommendation order and interpretation can change.

There is enough here to keep the food in comparison, but not enough to stop comparing yet.
