At Northern Biscuits, It was our goal to have every dog try our biscuits! To me, the most logical way was to set out at 4 am every Saturday morning, with my husband and two toddlers in tow to set up a table at the St. Jacobs Farmers Market. There we introduced our special all natural dog biscuits in the brown paper bag. A few vendors were amused but being laughed at and ridiculed was no deterrent for us; we carried on week after week and people started to come back to buy more. On the way home from the market we would stop at surrounding country stores with hopes of getting them on their shelves.
Our first wholesale customer was The Apple Factory who agreed to buy 12 bags of Northern Biscuits on consignment. The Apple Factory is a small, family-run market specializing in organic, natural baked goods, fruits and vegetables. Soon after, we began receiving calls from pet food stores claiming that people were asking for the new Northern Biscuits. And so…with an undying passion, tenacity and whole lot of patience, one store at a time, we started to become a household staple. Things started to run smoothly… for a while. One thing we learned quickly about being in business is that things never run smoothly and always expect the unexpected!
