What started as a hobby…
Fair Weather Trading Company started as a simple hobby making home made dog treats, dog toys, soaps and candles. I could be found at various craft fairs, shows and events and that was the only way to find me and my products. Thanks to my husband for supporting and encouraging me and my family and friends for embracing my passion, FWTC is more than a hobby!
Embracing all things OBX!
I have a secret love affair with Outer Banks and so many of my designs and scents have been inspired from my time spent there. Although I have been all throughout the many beaches there, my heart belongs to Hatteras. When my husband and I go on vacation, the dogs come too and they have the same love affair with the beach that I do.
My hopes in designing the OBX collection is to always have a piece of Dare County close at hand…one smell and I’m sitting on the beautiful beach, listening to the waves and watching the world go by.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
There are numerous products that contain tallow.
What is Tallow?
Tallow is rendered suet (fat) which is the hard, fatty layer that surrounds an animals organs, specifically the loins & kidneys. The tallow that is used in my products is beef tallow and is locally sourced from Moore Meats in West Grove, PA. (www.moore-meats.com)
Beef tallow is 50% saturated fat, 42% monounsaturated fat and 4% polyunsaturated fat.
Tallow contains vitamin A, D, E & K. It is the original “body butter” with many health benefits which includes the production of collagen, helps with skin irritation and can speed up skin healing.
