      I just shared your sites on my FB page- both my business and personal page. I hope that helps. I also donated and I hope that helps as well. My dogs LOVE your biscuits and I don't feel guilty when I give them your treats, like I do with other treats...they often get two or three throughout the day actually! Thanks for understanding the love some people have for their dogs :)

      This is for my dear friend, Marge S., who's not an online kinda gurl but met the Barkwheats crew at the Monroe Farmer's Market and loved them and loved the idea of Kickstarter so she wanted to participate! And this is also in memory of her beloved Dobies - Baron, Max and Greta. Woof!

      Chris & Renee - I wish you success and your new machine for production! I'm developing an on-line business so my funds are limited, but am happy that I could at least make a contribution. Hopefully in a few months, I will be one of your wholesale customers! I've found your company vision & operations to be an inspiration as I try to develop my own concept that also speaks from my heart and can effectively serve both a monetary and higher purpose.
      All the best, Marge

Barkwheats offers dogs an opportunity to eat healthy snacks using ingredients that come directly from the farmers who grow them. We work with organic farmers in Maine, Washington State and Belize to bring the best to your dog in a biscuit that has benefits. We're a unique company in the pet industry and our success has been because of our dedication to both farmers and dogs.

We need your help now to buy a new dough moulder to keep up with our quickly growing customer base. Please contribute so we can bring more dogs the healthy snacks they deserve.
