If you’ve never heard of the company Barkwheats, definitely perk up your ears! Barkwheats is a organic, grain-free, and gluten-free dog treat company based out my wonderful (though now freezing cold) home state of Maine. Founded in 2007, Barkwheats was inspired by two black-lab pups Baxter and Sabine. The founders wanted to produce a series of treat that were not only grain-free, but also included ingredients that, when purchased to be included in the biscuits, would help support organic, small-scale agriculture in Maine. In doing this, Barkwheats purchases their ingredients directly from family farmers. When Barkwheats wanted to expand their goodie repertoire to include a ginger based biscuit, an ingredient not easily grown in Maine, they found and met with a small group of farmers in Belize who agreed to help them out. Since these “Ginger and Parsley” biscuits are fair-trade certified, the profits gained help the farmers in Belize make a living. The same goes for the countless other farmers who grow the other ingredients for the three other flavors.

Barkwheats is now looking to expand their treat flavors even further in their new line of “Smokehouse Treats.” Of course, this means that there needs to be new, colorful packaging made by the very talented human, Abby Mcmillen of Folk Dog Art who has designs Barkwheats’ packaging. So, Barkwheats is now holding a photo contest to choose the next two pooch faces that Abby will turn into beautiful works of art. Yours truly just happens to be in the running! If you would like to vote for me, or check out the other contestants, please click my photo below. 
You can vote once every 24 hours (so if you vote at 4:00 pm today, you can’t vote again until 4:00 pm tomorrow). The two winners will be announced on the 14th.
If you are interested in purchasing some lovely nibbles for your pup, please check out either Barkwheats’ online shop or their list of stores that carry their products.
Happy tail wags!
