About Our Story

At Kakadoodle, our story begins with a simple, yet profound realization. Like many parents, our owner, MariKate, used to serve her children eggs almost daily. One day, while cracking open yet another batch of unusually cheap eggs, a troubling thought struck her: "How can these eggs be so affordable?" Something just seemed off. She had a hunch that maybe she should do something different.

Motiviated to make a change, MariKate decided to connect with a local farmer to purchase eggs. She'd pack the kids into the back of the minivan and set off on a 30-minute drive to a farm, only to find, more often than not, the farmer was nowhere to be found. Kids frustrated and screaming in their car seats, MariKate couldn't help but wonder why there isn't a more convenient way to get real local food. In an era of Uber Eats and DoorDash, it just seemed like something that should exist. This recurring frustration sowed the seeds for what would eventually blossom into Kakadoodle.

Fast forward a few years, and life presented a harrowing challenge to MariKate and her family. Marty, her husband, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of cancer linked to glyphosate exposure – a prevalent chemical in conventional farming. Marty's battle and eventual triumph over this illness profoundly impacted their family. It solidified their resolve to make locally-sourced, healthy food more accessible, transforming a deeply personal experience into the driving force behind Kakadoodle.

Today, Kakadoodle stands as a testament to MariKate's family journey and their unwavering commitment. We're more than just a marketplace; we're a community-driven initiative dedicated to reversing the negative impacts of industrial agriculture on our health and environment. Embracing regenerative farming practices, we ensure every product we offer contributes to a healthier, more sustainable world.

Kakadoodle isn't just about selling food; it's about nurturing a community, educating consumers, and providing a trustworthy source of 100% local, chemical-free food. From our farm to your doorstep, we bring the best of dairy, meat, greens, and more, ensuring that families like yours have access to food that's not just good for you, but good for the planet too.
