newsletter New Pet Treats Are Here 🐶

So today’s email is hitting a little later than usual. We woke up in the city this morning—it was our daughter’s birthday and she wanted to celebrate in Chicago. So we did the whole deal: hotel, nice dinner, and a family-friendly comedy club called ComedySportz. Totally recommend it if you’re looking for something fun to do this winter. Clean, funny, and surprisingly affordable. The kids loved it.

Back on the farm, we’ve been busy (as always). Shoutout to the rain this week—it saved us hours of watering our 1300 baby trees. Seriously… turns out that's a whole thing. Big thanks to our family and friends who’ve been helping us keep everything alive!

🐶 New this week: Pet Treats!

We’ve got a brand-new listing I’m really excited about—dehydrated pet treats made from pasture-raised organ meats. These actually started because our freezers were overflowing. Instead of wasting that nutrient-dense organ meat, we started dehydrating it and giving it to our dogs. They loved it.

It felt good knowing exactly what we were feeding them. No weird fillers or mystery ingredients—just clean, chemical-free meat from animals raised right.

We started bringing them to the farmers market and the response was wild. Repeat customers every week telling us their pets were obsessed. So now we’ve finally got them listed online for delivery.

📉 Something’s not right

This week my mom sent me an article that hit close to home. It talked about how young people in the Midwest are getting cancer at a much higher rate than the rest of the country. I shared some of my own story and thoughts on it in a post you can read here.

Quick background: I had Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The specific kind I had was linked to glyphosate—the chemical found in Roundup. I was actually part of the class-action lawsuit. Didn’t get much from it, but that wasn’t the point.

The point is: we don’t always know what’s causing this stuff. But when you zoom out and see more and more young people getting cancer, especially in heavy farming states… it’s hard to ignore. It lines up too closely with what’s happening in industrial agriculture.

🌱 Why Kakadoodle exists

This is why we’re doing what we’re doing. Regenerative farming. No glyphosate. No synthetic sprays. Just real food, grown clean, the way it should be. Not just for the people eating it—but for the people growing it, the communities around it, and even the pets who get the leftovers.

We know most people don’t think much about organ meat or soil health or glyphosate. That’s okay. You shouldn’t have to. That’s why Kakadoodle exists: to make it easy for you to feed your family clean food without going out of your way.

Thanks for being a part of it.
