Over the past 18 years, we have built and operated a range of businesses, gaining valuable experience in entrepreneurship, customer service, and community engagement. Our current business brings together everything we’ve learned — guided by strong family values, a belief in hard work, and a desire to serve others well.

One of our key ventures has been Real Dog Food (www.realdogfood.co.nz), where each of our boys has been involved in every part of the journey — from packing dog food to deliveries and everything in between. It hasn’t been easy, but we believe that growing together as a family through challenges is how we develop both personally and professionally.

As a homeschooling family, entrepreneurship is part of our lifestyle. Our boys — especially our two oldest, Jayden (16) and Joel (15) — take on leadership roles in the day-to-day running of the business. They’ve grown up surrounded by real-world learning, problem-solving, teamwork, and responsibility — and they thrive in it.

We welcome feedback, embrace learning, and continue to grow with passion, purpose, and a whole lot of heart. We are deeply grateful for our amazing customers and the support they continue to show us.

Our hope is that every person we serve not only enjoys great food, but also experiences warmth, joy, and kindness — the values that guide our family and our work.
