We mill in relatively small quantities to keep things fresh.
You can get your own custom feed in ton lots, or you can get individual bags of our proven formulas that we keep in stock. For custom orders, one or two tons are common orders. Larger orders than this are available through special arrangements.
Customers love our nutritional knowledge and farming know-how.
We pride ourselves on formulating wholesome, nutrient-dense feeds that make sense for the family farm. Many of the Northwest’s most respected small farmers and hobbyists look to us for their animals’ feeds, and we’re proud of their confidence in us. They can count on quality, consistency, and strict adherence to formulas. Our formulas are developed for farmers who want to feed their animals in a way that matches their overall farming goals.
Ingredient quality remains paramount.
We are dedicated to using the highest quality ingredients available. Many of our ingredients are grown locally. Many are even human-grade. If we won’t eat it, we won’t use it.
We offer a range of Non-GMO, conventional, herbicide and pesticide-free and organic grains in formulas we develop to suit the unique needs of your farm.
We were pioneers in making corn and soy-free non-GMO feed, that is waste-free. Animals love to eat Union Point feeds.
We are sustainable and local agriculture believers, family farmers, and long-time devotees to animal husbandry. We take sustainably sourced and USA-grown ingredients to produce nutritious formulas of healthy cold-pressed pellets, grains, seeds, herbs and botanicals.
Union Point is celebrating more than 20 years of pioneering and milling high-quality feeds with the insights and expertise of our nutritionist and millers.
The mill makes feeds for pets and productive animals like chickens, sheep, goats and geese. Choose from our ready-to-order formulas, or hire us to develop something custom for your animals.

Union Point Custom Feeds is a family-owned business. We are devoted to long-term success and ensuring that we stay true to our original vision of high-quality feeds formulated with sustainably sourced products and backed by the science of nutrition. To this day, founder, owner and formally trained nutritionist Alice Royle leads product and formula development. She advises what works, as well as the technical aspects of feed production. An extensive network of top producers, researchers, and professional nutritionists back up her training in nutrition.
How it began: History of the Mill
In operating Union Point Ranch, near Brownsville, Oregon, we regularly wished for a reliable source for the high-quality feeds we wanted for our horses, poultry, sheep, cows, and goats. In our search for the right feeds in the right amounts, we found that we were not alone. There was no longer a source for small quantities of fresh, high-quality custom feeds.
So, in 2001, we went to work. We applied our knowledge of animal husbandry, belief in the central role nutrition plays in the animal health equation, and 25 years of experience in the business world. We talked to other ranchers about their feed needs and concerns and researched the best ways to fill feed orders of all sorts and sizes. We built our own mill to ensure we could meet the demands we had identified. Soon after, we began turning out small amounts of feeds in an old-fashioned tradition that put quality first.
We named the mill after the location of our ranch and the pioneer townsite on which it was built. But after all these years, it's also an appropriate name for what we do as we build each feed: We always deliver the perfect union of ingredients, source, nutrition and form.
Founder Alice Royle has always been horse crazy. The original Union Point inspiration was an old Quarter Horse mare named Tess. Alice's current favorite is a POA gelding named Chips. This September 2021 photo offers a distant view of the mill.
