We have gotten so far away from the understanding of nourishing our dogs system that it’s really a great forgetting of sorts. And I don’t believe this is by accident. To be super clear, food and nutrition are not synonymous. You are either feeding your dog to fill their system, or you are nourishing their…

Feeding the farm that feeds our family that feeds our farm
I am putting this information in table form, as it is easier to understand, and also a reminder to me of everything that is happening. Our farm is biodynamic, meaning that one living organism feeds another, and works together to create sustainable and optimal health. We do not use any chemicals, we feed organic and…

Affordable and healthy food choices for your dog
I work with a good number of dog owners that would like to feed a healthier diet but are concerned with higher costs that are often times associated with healthier food.

Ever wanted to know how the whole kibble thing happened?

The perfect collision – curiosity, knowledge, and food …
All living beings need the whole enchilada, an integrative life, in order to feel balance, to be healthy inside and out, to the core, our essence. All of it. Social, emotional, physical, and nutritional well-being. Unifying separate things. Creating a whole from different parts. Integrative. Fifteen years ago I realized that the pretty dog food…
raw food raw talk II
I’m inviting you all into my home, specifically my kitchen, so you can see what it actually looks like to make a raw meal for your dog. It’s pretty much like a regular cooking demonstration, sans stove and wine! Raw feeding is referred to as biologically appropriate or species specific. Giving your dog the food…
SATURNALIA BREAD
We added the celebration of Saturnalia to our winter kitchen in 2005, and pretty much never looked back.
