Vendor Profile: Bones du Jour

By: Lesli Ellis, Master Gardener

“Treats so good, you’ll wish you were a dog”

Bring your four-legged friend to the Bones du Jour booth on the north side of the Farmers' Market to fetch some fresh biscuits and say “hello” to owner and chef, Sue Carroll. Sue has been a local Fort Collins business owner and vendor at the Farmer’s Market since about 1993. Sue, who titles herself “Biscuitologist,” hand cuts and bakes her gourmet, all-natural biscuits using whole wheat, stone-ground flour, free range chickens and buffalo, and other quality ingredients. Your dog will love the buffalo liver, peanut-butter, BBQ, cheese, and other assorted flavors of “bare bones” biscuits offered. (Mine did – even the picky eater!) The biscuits are easy to digest and tasty, too—as Buddy and Joey, the taste-testers guarantee. If you are looking for a special treat, consider the doggie S'mores (pictured).

Because Sue uses mostly organic and locally-grown products, purchasing Bones du Jour treats supports our local farm community and economy, helps sustain the environment, and enhances your dog’s vitality and health. How better can you reward your dogs and treat the whole community?

When you aren’t shopping at the Farmer’s Market, the Bones du Jour kitchen and shop is located at 221 W. Prospect Road (about ¼ mile west of College Avenue on the south side). Arrange to bake and decorate your own biscuits or put in special orders for cakes, S’mores, cupcakes, or other fancy treats for your dog celebrations.

Sue is a true canine lover. She started Bones du Jour by baking biscuits for her first search and rescue dog and is now a mom to adopted dogs from shelters. She also offers a greater selection of treats. Sue makes the “Petiquette” posters that you might see around the market. She likes seeing dogs at the Farmers' Market, as “they add to the atmosphere,” but they should mind their manners just like the human customers. The posters at the market help by offering a few good tips.

Prices for Sue's delicious biscuits are $11/lb, or $5.50 for 6 oz. Visit www.dogtreatssogood.com for more information.
