Carnivorous skunk cabbage. Thankfully, biscuits areโ€ฆ

Whatโ€™s something you used to believe as a kid that seems ridiculous now?

โ€ฆfor sale at the Owen Sound Farmerโ€™s Market. My childhood fear of west coast, British Columbian Lysichiton americanus was odd. They just looked like they attracted flies for consumption. They here was a memorable Scientific American article about the plant. It has heat generating tissue thet allows it to poke through spring snow and attract its pollinators. Flying insects! Hell, according to the forbidden website of knowledge (wikipedia link here), bears eat it as a natural laxative post hibernation.

Open until 12:30 p.m. EST

In the meantime, drop by the market to pick up animal treats.


Saturday May 30/26

The morning chillโ€™s almost gone. Thereโ€™s blue sky. Itโ€™s a good start to an Owen Sound Farmerโ€™s Market (OSFM).

From 8 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
Weโ€™re installing a bear-resistant garbage bin.

Our dry-erase whiteboard, MAAG online document, and selling dog biscuits @ the OSFM! May 2nd.

What gives you direction in life?

Month-At-AGlance shared document gives me a clue and my spouse can update it. Our dry-erase board plans out our workflowโ€ฆ. 7 days at 1 go.

Weโ€™re at the market today. Drop by and shop local, eh.


Every time we set up a sales booth! April 25th โœ…

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

โ€ฆAs we set up at the Owen Sound Farmerโ€™s Market.

We want to offer dog treats, comfortable (pup) jackets, 3D printed kit, paw wax, books, and human-hats. And that means selling our wares. Success? Ask us again at the end of the season!!


If we go to markets, will the dogs be happy?

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

โ€ฆpotentially, yes. Black Dog Biscuits has to be at your local farmerโ€™s or crafting-makers market and set up sales booths.

Even if all we get to do is let your leashed pup try a sample, thatโ€™s how cottage industries work. No guarantees.

Weโ€™re prototyping a CAT TREAT for Felinus domesticus. Its product name will be 50/50 Cat Treats. โ€œWill your cat like the treat?โ€ฆ โ€ฆ โ€ฆ meh, thereโ€™s a 50/50 chance that YES, your house-cougar will like itโ€.

Test market results: yep, thatโ€™s whatโ€™s indeed occurring. Meanwhile, the household dog goes bonkers for them (because they recognize the BDB packaging).


Dawn was seenโ€ฆ

โ€ฆwhen we trekked to the Owen Sound Farmerโ€™s Market.

This morningโ€™s creation!
And another oneโ€™s done โœ…

This spring, summer, and autumnโ€ฆ cutlery sharpening. Today? Biscuits at the market!

January 24/26 dog jacket update.

I can finally reveal Tobeyโ€™s latest dog jacket creation. It was a custom job for the organizer of the Owen Sound Farmerโ€™s Market.

Ms. Kailey Lang is a gifted artist and is successfully managing a wide assortment of business personalities (vendors) at this Saturday event. And KL can pull this off rain-or-shine, year round.

Black Dog Biscuits is proud to be a vendor at this venue. For more information, contact this professional at plants@kaileylang.com . For more information about the market (as a customer, or potential vendor), view https://www.owensoundfarmersmarket.com/

Besides, FFSโ€ฆ look at that dog sweater. Adorable. And the recipient likes it.
