Going Locovore

It's been a while since we've written anything but that's because we've been busy working on some new products we'll introduce this Fall. One of the key parts to any product - new and old - is quality ingredients which is something we take very seriously. We have always strived to put only the highest-quality US-sourced ingredients in our treats and won't settle for anything less. However now we're hoping to raise the bar even further.

We've spent the last several months talking to local farmers to try and find the best possible organic ingredients from small family-owned farms. And I'm happy to say after several months of searching, we just signed on the dotted line this week! The family farm we'll be working with is Oregon-based and has been in business for nearly a century. They started as a honey farm and quickly grew to become a provider or raw ingredients to businesses around the Pacific Northwest. Not only do their ingredients taste wonderful, but they also have a comprehensive safety program to ensure that their ingredients are never tainted (and in the nearly 100 years of business they have never had to issue an ingredient recall). We're very excited to be working with them and can't wait to receive our first order next week.
