Featured at Hy-Vee

Hy-Vee met with me to discuss a marketing idea they came up with. Their idea was to introduce their customers to the stories behind some of the local brands they stock on their shelves.

I loved the idea and I'm proud that they selected our Dogpatch Salad Dressings as the first product to feature in the video series!

I think they did a great job telling our story and I'm proud to be on Hy-Vee store shelves. The next time you're at Hy-Vee be sure to pick up a bottle or two - or just add them to your next Hy-Vee Aisles Online order.

If you're looking to find our salad dressings and elderberry syrup, many stores have them!

In the past year I've tried a number of your chef's creations and have been delighted in the combinations and quality of the ingredients. They have inspired me to be a better cook, combining your produce and other farmers' products in more creative ways than I ever had before. Thank You!

We LOVE your produce! In fact, we LOVE everything! I'm one of the many retired DMACC faculty, and my husband a retired Pioneer plant geneticist. What a joy you have brought to our lives Please tell the family from Cedar Ridge: I have some digestive issues and have stayed away from eggs for years (I can eat in other products but not straight). Well... I now can enjoy breakfast eggs!

We love this!! It's so important for consumers to get to know their farmer! That way, you can really tell they care not only about quality products for them to buy, but also the health of our planet!

We're newer to Iowa and I just wanted to say how stoked I was to find your dressings at HyVee! It's so hard to find dressings that actually taste good that aren't made with shady ingredients and your zesty Italian hits the mark. You've got a new customer for as long as the dressing is available.
