About Us GLENCADIA GOURMET
Glencadia Gourmet | Premium Chef-Made Food for Dogs
In 2023, Glencadia unveiled a new innovative venture, Glencadia Gourmet, marking a significant leap into the dog food industry. This initiative is the brainchild of a dynamic team: Phil Schools, Director of Operations, brings his extensive background in the Hudson Valley's Farm-to-Table movement; Fernando Castro, a culinary genius with a storied career in Michelin-starred kitchens; Will Pflaum, the visionary founder of Glencadia Corporation; and Ollie Pflaum, the emerging leader poised to steer Glencadia Corporation into the future. Together, they blend unparalleled culinary expertise, deep-rooted business acumen, and over two decades of dedicated dog care to redefine pet nutrition.
At the heart of Glencadia's dog food line is the commitment to harnessing the Hudson Valley's rich bounty. While not every ingredient is locally sourced, our unwavering focus on quality and sustainability guides our selection process, ensuring meals that fulfill the dietary and emotional needs of dogs, making each mealtime a celebration of joy.

Our chef-made food embodies Glencadia's dedication to outstanding care and quality for dogs. This project champions the use of locally-sourced ingredients, transforming them into culinary masterpieces that cater to the unique needs and happiness of our canine companions. Led by the culinary prowess of Phil and Fernando, our recipes feature a harmonious blend of proteins, vegetables, and grains, meticulously crafted to be as healthful as they are flavorful.
In line with Glencadia's sustainability ethos, we've forged partnerships with local farms and businesses such as Roxbury Farm CSA and IRQA Meat Packing. These collaborations not only enrich our offerings but also bolster the local economy and foster environmental stewardship.
The transition to a new commercial kitchen at the erstwhile Love Apple Farm in Ghent, NY—a stone's throw from Glencadia Dog Camp—signals our expansion and ambition to someday cultivate some of the vegetables used in our dog food.
