WELCOME TO THE DOG BLOG

We're sorting through all the dog manure to share the truth about dog farming!

As owners of Elwood's Organic Dog Meat, we do all the work: all the breeding & feeding, milking & culling & quartering--& we do it, right here on the family farm. We get our hands dirty, doing what needs to be done! But we do it all for the dogs. We do it for the "family" "farm."

It’s our passion to teach others about the significance of soil health and why regenerative farming is so important.

Healthy soil --> healthy plants --> healthy dogs --> healthier/more nutrient-dense dog proteins --> healthier humans.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and read about our farm! We can't wait to help you set the table with man's best meat.

4 Big Myths About Veal

(Psst... what lies ahead is an incredible sustainability story!) If you've never been to a farm, you might think veal puppies have it rough, but don't believe the misinformation! While many anti-dog meat people whine "the dog dairy business is the dog meat business," it's part of a natural cycle of life! We impregnate our dairy dogs, they provide milk, we take their puppies away, and male puppies are used for puppy veal. Here's a guest post from someone who recently toured ou

Dog farmers are good people.

When bad things happen, we're here to help. Last night we missed a call from our step-uncle. *sigh* Nothing good comes from a missed call from him at night. When the phone rang, I definitely flashed back to the call 2 years ago when we learned our barn had burned to the ground & we lost 18,000 dogs. Sure enough, one of the neighbors' tractor-trailers loaded with fat pitbulls had turned over. Our step-uncle called us to help, knowing the dogs were stuck on the trailer & would

Harvesting

Elwood's Knows Humane Harvest

We're inviting you in for a "virtual" harvest tour. People keep asking us how we humanely harvest our picnic breeds. Well, we'll tell you! Anti-dog meat activists want to tell you how cruel we are, but they've literally never stepped foot onto a dog farm. If they did, they'd see how humane the process is! How 100% ethical! How much we love our dogs! Last week, we tried to LIVE stream the harvest process but Facebook took us down. So instead, we're offering this blog as a "vir

Onward and Upward

An update on the American dog flu situation. First, we want to say that things are going well and we don't want to alarm anyone. Many of our dog packs are still out in the fields. We're happy and we're thriving! But we want to address the possible American dog flu outbreak, which several people have been writing to us about. No deaths have been directly linked to our farm, but in full transparency, we did want to address some of the news reports and say: Yes, we did have to p

The Dreaded "Call"

This past Wednesday, we had to make a call we’ve never wanted to make. This is a tough story to share as our first blog post. But we started this website, we wanted to be honest and transparent. It's what our customers deserve--and it's the only way we want to be. Our stories aren’t always butterflies and rainbows. Dog farming can humble you more often than not. But at the end of the day, it’s about education for a better future. Harvest season and hurricane season are stress
