Why Sweet Millie?

A good dog leaves a little sweetness everywhere.

Sweet Millie was our yellow Lab—the kind of dog who made every day better just by being there. She didn’t pollinate flowers, but she sure knew how to make love grow in our hearts.

Her steady, gentle spirit is what we want this company to carry forward: work done with care, neighbors treated right, and something good shared with every season.

For Millie, always.

Faithful to the work.
Gentle with the bees.
