COMPANY OVERVIEW:

RentACoop is a rapidly growing small business with roots on a working farm in Germantown, Maryland. As we continue to expand nationally across multiple product lines and sales channels, we remain grounded in the values that shaped our founding—innovation, integrity, and a deep respect for animals and their caregivers.
Our mission is to design and manufacture practical, high-quality solutions that simplify and enhance the experience of raising chickens, birds, and small animals. From hands-on product development to daily operational execution, our team is driven by a shared passion for creating tools that are both functional and accessible.

We are proud to lead with purpose across our family of brands:

• RAC Paws by RentACoop — focused on enriching the lives of small animals and their caregivers
• Fluffy Layers by RentACoop — a whimsical brand for animal lovers, offering thoughtfully designed gear from coop to kitchen
• The Gilded Hen — refined farmhouse living meets indulgent care—for you and your animals. We believe that tending a flock (or a farm) should feel as beautiful as it is rewarding.

Our growth is fueled not just by what we build, but by why we build it. We believe that raising animals—especially chickens—can be a transformative experience for individuals and families. That belief guides our commitment to giving back: to date, we’ve contributed over $200,000 in products and financial support to public schools, 4-H clubs, camps, Habitat for Humanity, The Salvation Army, and community-based organizations across the United States.
