[ ABOUT ]
About Prem-Line
We make living-culture pellets, out of Antrim County in Northern Michigan.
We kept hitting the same wall. The live cultures that make a fermented feed or soil input worth using don't survive the way pellets are normally made: the heat that forms the pellet cooks them off. So we worked out how to make a pellet without that heat, one that keeps the culture alive from the mixer all the way to the bag. We'd spent years fermenting soil and plant inputs already, so this is the same work pointed at feed for livestock and fish, and at amendments for growers.
[ WHAT WE'RE BUILDING ]
It isn't really one product
What we actually built is a way to get a living mix of microbes into a dry pellet that ships and stores like any other. That turns out to be useful well beyond feed.
Feed is where we're starting, because that's where the demand is strongest right now. Soil amendments are in early trials. Other uses will follow, but we'd rather take them one at a time than spread thin. Each one comes with its own rules to follow, and our "custom" line is how we pilot something new without getting ahead of ourselves. One thing we're careful about: we don't make health, disease, or performance claims about animals. We tell you what the product is and how it's made, and leave the rest to the trials.

[ WHERE THINGS STAND ]
Development timeline
-
Up and running
The facility is built and running: pelleting line, hammer mill, mixer, and a climate-controlled space, with our fermentation process and quality checks in place.
-
Samples and field trials
We're running batches and getting samples out to real aquaculture and soil operations for evaluation. The point right now is simple: see how it holds up out in the field.
-
Refine and scale
Take what the trials tell us, adjust the recipes and the process, and build up enough output to supply more customers.
-
Grow the customer base
Add customers as the results come in, add capacity to keep up, and grow our footprint across the region.
[ NEXT STEP ]
Work with us
If you supply ingredients, run animals or crops you'd want to trial this on, or back early-stage ag, we'd like to hear from you. The detailed numbers and the process itself we keep under NDA, so reach out and we'll walk you through it.
