About

Believe it or not, farmers really know how to get down on the farm! By that we mean they're constantly hosting some kind of party or gathering... and you know, with any good party comes good food! It makes sense! They have plenty of land for lots of people to gather and a plethora of fresh ingredients for whipping up some of the best grub. The Farm Dip is a product of this ongoing phenomenon. It's creamy with a hint of tangy ranch and it's loaded with crispy bacon, shredded chicken, and plenty of melty cheese. It tastes the best with your favorite tortilla chips, but we encourage you to get creative. Perfect over a conversation about harvesting, rainfall, or anything really, The Farm Dip is here for some backwoods fun!
