Big Bluff Ranch
Red Bluff, California
Tyler
Pasture-raised regenerative chicken · No corn, no soy · Air-chilled & flash-frozen · 25+ years on the land
I’m Tyler. I grew up here, then left for college in LA chasing city lights. The farther I went, the faster I wanted to come home. Coming back wasn’t easy — this “chicken scratch country” was a full-time job with a half-time income. Mom asked the hard question: how was I going to make a living here? For 25 years, I’ve been working on the answer.
Hungry Hollow Cattle Company
Woodland, California
Dan Pronsolino
100 cow-calf pairs · Small feeding facility · Yolo County, California
Dan Pronsolino and family raise black angus beef in Yolo County. Dan started by managing an almond hulling facility and was interested in upcycling the almond hulls as cattle food. Fast forward and he is ethically managing a herd of one hundred cow-calf pairs and a small feeding facility just down the road from the almond hulling facility.

The Reality
Challenges for producers
Small, process-focused producers can’t survive the industrial food system. It rewards volume over quality and buries the people doing the real work beneath layers of middlemen, retail overhead, and hollow labels.
The Standard
What Fillco looks for
Producers who set their own honest price, stand behind every word on their label, and let us put their face on the product. We pay them to uphold what they claim — and our success is theirs.
Fillco makes the producer the product — connecting the people who grow your food directly to the people who eat it, with nothing hidden in between.
