Made from memory

A family story
with real crunch.

Charlie’s Chow was created by Fargo chef and founder Clayton Cottman to turn the homemade snacks people remember into something more premium, playful, and unmistakably delicious.

The name honors his great-uncle, Dr. Charles A. Carter—a World War II Buffalo Soldier, frontline Army medic, and pioneering clinical psychologist. Uncle Charlie’s legacy of service and excellence still sets the standard behind every pouch.
