Veterinarians are educated and trained in the “system”, that means going outside the corporate model is not something they can deal with,Continue reading “Your Veterinarian and Raw Meat”
No More Credit Cards
We will no longer take credit cards. After a couple years of dealing with these banks we have learned that it is just not worth it. When we first offered this option to our customers I was surprised how few people used it for farm market sales. Of course internet sales rely heavily on thisContinue reading “No More Credit Cards”

For most of my life, the part where I worked for some corporation or other, I had no dogs around me because I didn’t want any. I have never been anti dog but I was definitely indifferent toward them and small dogs did not have any appeal at all to me. Angie had a smallContinue reading “Living With Dogs – Chapter 1”
