We operate with a Triple Bottom Line, where all stakeholders are considered in our business decisions:

People (& Pups):  Barkwheats Dog Biscuits is dedicated to producing nutritious dog treats that are grain-free as nature intended a dog's diet to be, low calorie and made of beneficial ingredients. Barkwheats is committed to purchasing ingredients directly from small-scale organic farmers.  We partner with neighboring farms in Maine and family farms working with Sustainable Harvest International in Belize to source the quality ingredients at fair wage prices.

Planet: Barkwheats Dog Biscuits believes everyone has a responsibility to be a good steward of this Earth, and as a business we have an even greater capacity to make a difference. We purchase only all-natural or organic ingredients as we believe chemical-free farming is critical to maintaining the integrity of the planet. Our packaging is 100% compostable, so as not to add to any landfill.  We compost, recycle, purchase wind energy, use CFL bulbs and select the most energy efficient equipment to run our facility.

Profits: Barkwheats Dog Biscuits supports the local economy by purchasing ingredients & services locally when possible.  We pay a fair price to producers of our ingredients and we charge for a fair price in turn for our product.  A sustainable business must be profitable and use those profits responsibly.  We seek to have a lasting economic impact on our community and those touched by Barkwheats.

As a business in an industry that is vastly under served by “responsible” practices, we feel we have an even greater capacity to make a difference.  Barkwheats is proud to be the first B-Corporation in the pet industry, joining the ranks of King Arthur Flour, Method, Seventh Generation, just to name a few. B-Corporation ("B" stands for Benefit) is a new type of corporation whose mission is to use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.
