Our Lamb
Our Lamb | A Farm-to-Bowl Philosophy
At Glencadia, we pride ourselves on a unique approach to dog nutrition—one that’s deeply rooted in the philosophy of farm-to-bowl. Central to this philosophy is our use of lamb, sourced directly from Glencadia’s own flock of 67 sheep. These sheep are raised with care on Will Pflaum’s expansive 20-acre farm, which also serves as the home of Glencadia Dog Camp.
This direct sourcing of lamb is not just about providing meals for dogs; it’s about embracing a standard of freshness and wholesomeness that’s rare in the pet food industry. Our commitment ensures that every meal we offer is of exceptional quality, embodying the true essence of what it means to feed our pets food that’s as nutritious as it is delicious.
The choice to include lamb of such fine quality in our dog food has sparked a lively debate within the Glencadia family. Will’s wife, Aenne, and their sons, Leo and Ollie, express concerns that perhaps the lamb, rich in flavor and nutritional value, might be better suited for more traditional culinary pursuits rather than dog food. This conversation underscores a broader dialogue about the value we place on the food we provide our pets, and the lengths to which we’re willing to go to ensure they enjoy a diet that’s not just adequate, but exemplary.
Despite differing opinions, the inclusion of our farm-raised lamb in Glencadia’s dog food recipes stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality. It’s a bold statement in the ongoing discourse on pet nutrition—a statement that elevates the standard for what dogs eat, and challenges us to reconsider the importance of every ingredient that goes into their meals.
Our farm-to-bowl approach is not merely about the logistics of sourcing and production; it’s a philosophy that touches on the ethics of pet care, the sustainability of our practices, and the love we have for our canine companions. By choosing to feed our dogs with lamb raised on our own farm, we’re not just ensuring they have access to fresh, premium-quality ingredients; we’re also embedding a piece of Glencadia’s heart and soul into every meal.
