The Farmer’s Dog was founded on the belief that, like people, pets should be enabled to lead their best possible lives. Their first product is a subscription service that delivers wholesome, freshly-cooked meals for dogs - an antidote to the unregulated, highly processed, preservative-fueled world of commercial pet food.

The Farmer’s Dog launched in 2014 after co-founder Brett Podolsky's battle to solve the stomach issues of his dog, Jada. After testing every pet food on the market without success, Brett tried a fresh, home-cooked diet at his vet’s recommendation. The results were staggering - Jada was cured. Having witnessed first-hand the power of fresh food, he teamed up with Jonathan to rethink the pet food industry from the ground-up and create the simple, healthy product they wished had existed for their own dogs (and dogs everywhere!).

Through her curiosity and love of knitting, Laurie Gonyea discovered the magical and therapeutic properties of yarn spun with pure silver. However, this extraordinary material was not being produced in the U.S. for the hand knitting market. Laurie set out to change that. The result is a collection of modern, elevated essentials that are kind to your skin and the world around you. Each collection is designed and made in the US, infused with pure silver throughout the pieces and is produced in limited runs. Naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial, pure silver inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria and promotes healthy skin. Silver also has great thermal properties and conducts energy, keeping your feet warm. Be the first to know about our latest episode by subscribing www.mindfulbusinessespodcast.com
