Some brief announcements
Hope everyone is doing well and keeping warm now that the chilly weather has settled in for good. Hard to believe the month is already more than half gone—and the rest is sure to fly by—but I do have a few updates to share.
First, thank you all for your patience. I had a brief health matter that required me to step back for a short time, but I’m back now and catching up. All orders will be fulfilled and shipped. There may be a slight additional delay as I work through the backlog, but everything is moving again, and I truly appreciate your understanding and support.
The OIF will be vending at the Canadian Pet Expo on the 22nd and 23rd at the International Centre in Mississauga. We’ll also be returning on the 30th for the Reptile Expo, which will be our final expo of the year. We’re planning to offer some great deals along with our usual premium stock at fantastic prices. As always, if you’d like to place an order for pickup at either event, just let us know and we’ll have it ready for you.
The OIF Northern Silk (Part 2) project is still moving full steam ahead. All stored mulberry leaves have now been nearly fully ground in preparation for the next stage. Stay tuned as we get closer to the next step in our ongoing journey toward creating our own artificial silkworm diet.
That’s all for this month’s update. Thanks for taking the time to read, and enjoy the rest of the month!
