As most of you know, I moved home to take over the farm. Part of my plan (long term) is to turn the farm into a direct-to-consumer, farm-to-table enterprise. That will include selling beef cuts directly to you (consumer), but also to your dog too!
I’d like to introduce the first product offering from Bar B Farms – Silly Puppy Dog Treats!
These are small-batch, single ingredient, no preservative added treats made from our beef for your pooch. It’s beef jerky for your dog, without all the crazy ingredients that you can’t pronounce. Our treats have one ingredient, and it’s easy to spell and pronounce – B-E-E-F!
The Silly Puppy name came from my son Rex. When he was learning to talk, he would laugh at our dog Charlie chasing his tail or playing with a toy, and say “Silly Puppy!” And I stole it!
Doing research online, a 4oz package (114 grams) of comparable treats range in price from $12 - $25. None of those are farm-to-dog, they are all from makers who source their ingredients from other places.
I’m charging $15 per bag (plus GST and PST). Initially, to test this out, I am only selling the small bags (4ozs). I find that a bag usually feeds my dog for about 3-4 weeks, depending on how may you give him a day. If interest is there going forward, I will be offering larger bag sizes and packages to help save you money!
Why am I selling my beef as dog treats and not to humans? Good question – this meat is from an animal that was a little older than I would like to butcher for human consumption. While the meat is totally fine, it may be a little “tough” for most people, and I don’t want to tarnish the quality of our beef I sell to you to eat
If you’re interested in trying out Silly Puppy Dog Treats, comment below or send me a message. If you’re not happy or satisfied, or your dog doesn’t like the treats (doubtful!), let me know and I would be happy to refund your money.
