In 1926, Mr. Charles E. Nunn purchased the Harmony Way Mill in Evansville, Indiana, and established Nunn Milling Company. The plant was powered by a steam engine and initially only produced baking flour but that would soon change.

In the 1930’s the company began producing and selling a variety of poultry and livestock feeds. This drove the need for more ingredients so two more grain elevators were purchased which were strategically located closer to farmers who supplied grain.

In 1949 the company started producing and selling Nunn-Better Dog Food. The pet food business started small but soon grew very rapidly and became the main focus of the company.

In the late 1950’s, Nunn Milling Company had as many as 23 Nunn-Better trucks delivering product directly to customers.

In 1962 we began producing and selling Nunn-Better Corn Meal to add to our line of baking products. Demand for product continued to increase.

In 2016 a line of dog food products was introduced as the Butcher’s Best line. The high-quality ingredients and fun kibble shapes resulted in these items selling very well.

In 2018 the company launched an exciting new brand of dog food called Meridian Food for Dogs. This premium line of food is grain-free and made from the highest quality ingredients.

In 2022 the company launched an extension of their popular Butcher’s Best dog food line called Signature Menu. These super-premium products are made with quality proteins and easily digestible whole grains. Perfect for dogs with a sensitive stomach.
