About Us
Our Story
Each year it is estimated that 70,000 adolescents with autism “age out” of school-based services. What’s next? Studies estimate a staggering 50-75% of the 5.6 million adults with autism in the U.S. are unemployed or underemployed and nearly 50% of 25-year-olds with autism have never held a paying job, despite having the skill sets and expertise to excel in the workplace.
In wanting to find a meaningful employment opportunity for my beautiful son with autism (Henry, 22) after he ages out of the educational system, I thought this was a great idea. He loves being in the kitchen, he loves to mix and cut out the shapes (and he loves to mush & sample the batter lol). The idea just came to me in the car one day, and after some research I learned that the two main places on Island that sell dog treats do not make them on Martha's Vineyard - one uses a wholesale baker in Wareham, MA and one uses a baker in Idaho. I thought, "Why not?" It's creative and fun and something my son and I can do together. We hope your dogs enjoy our treats as much as we enjoy making them. Cheers!
