Where Treats Come From
Y’all all know where treats come from, right? It’s easy to disconnect with the source of our food. This weekend I spent time at my favorite homestead, hanging out with food-in-waiting. Homesteaders are honest about where treats come from. And their animals are treated with the utmost care and affection. Say hello to my cow, Mignon.
Jones Natural Chews are meat treats. I don’t ever want to lose sight of what that means. It’s one of the reasons that Hunny and I will be moving to our own homestead and raising as much of our own food as possible. We want to be honest with ourselves about our food source. I suspect we’ll eat far more vegetables and far less meat. Probably a lot more eggs and milk product, too.
Jones Natural Chews Come From American Farms
One of the more important things I think people should know about Jones Natural Chews is that their ingredients are ALL grown on farms in the US of A. American ingredients. No mystery about the sourcing, or what might be hidden in the ingredients. As a bonus, all of the ingredients are 100% natural, which just means there’s nothing artificial in our treats. But honestly? They’re mostly meat.
That’s where meat comes from, boys and girls. From animals. I can’t wait to have my own farm.
What About Dog Biscuits?
I touched on this yesterday. Dog biscuits are primarily grain products. While I’ll be growing vegetables on my homestead, they’ll be for me to eat. Yes, my dogs will get fresh veggies, but I won’t be baking biscuits for them. Jones won’t, either. My dogs, when not eating Jones Natural Chews as treats, will be snacking on fresh green beans or a fresh egg in their food.
Biscuits aren’t bad. I just know that once dogs have had Jones for a while, they tend to turn their noses up at biscuits.
Where Jones Natural Chews Come From
Jones Natural Chews come from American farms, but they’re all chopped, baked and packaged in northern Illinois. The Jones family has been in the butcher business for more than 150 years. The Jones siblings who run the business are all children of a butcher, and have been creating Jones chews for about 30 years, so they know meat and they know dog treats. Ask them where treats come from, but be prepared for an extended response. Be prepared to be educated. Hmm. Maybe next time I visit the headquarters, I’ll do a Facebook live video and ask that question.
