It's hard to believe it's been a year since our last Blog entry, but times have been crazy busy with the Market season in full swing. We literally bake, bag, load, go, sell, and start the process over on Mondays. The folks and pups we meet are fantastic and we love what we do. To hear the stories of your pups sitting by their dog treat jars waiting for our treats to be handed out, is such a heart warming and happy "tail". But we know what that looks like, because it is played out at our house as well.
Peanut Butter continues to be our strongest leader, but our Sweet Potato is proving to be a strong contender. We truly believe it's because it's sourced locally from a farm in our area that produces a much sweeter potato. The slow roasting helps to keep the sugar inside the potato instead of over flowing onto the pan. And we are hearing such great feed back about our Blueberry treats! But our little Basset and I go round and round about our Blueberry bushes. She believes the bushes belong to her. Some days, I win, some days the win goes to her. Unfortunately, our Apples went to the squirrels this year. We were watching them to pick for the peak of ripeness...and 2 weeks before Labor Day, we woke to stripped trees. Only 6 apples remained. I won't be putting out any corn for the squirrels this winter because I know how many apples they have stored away...they are going to be fat and sassy!
The Farm House is currently in a Hustle and Bustle with preparations for the Nov 1st Christmas Treat release. These treats were such a hit last year, we kept having to bake and ice, bake and ice...so this year, we are trying to get ahead before the season hits so we do not experience any shortage. As last year, they will be in both the Iced and Frosty Free for the Pups who are watching their waist lines. We maintain our All natural ingredients by using Beet Juice for Coloring, right down to the sprinkles. Dogs do not need anything artificial and if you are feeding your pup anything not of nature, please stop!
We will end this Blog entry with a Big Thank You for making this year a great one so far. We appreciate your kind words, the purchases you've made which have allowed us to make our donations to our charities, and to keep doing what we love to do for another day. Have a great Fall and enjoy the beautiful weather...winter is coming.
