NOTE: Jan-Feb 2024: We have been slammed with thousands of requests (20 times the usual amount) so please be patient in the time it will take to receive your starter.
The US Post Office seems to have periodic slowdowns as some starts have been taking 2 months to arrive after we mail them and sometimes it seems they hold the requests and release them all at once. This has been happening since 2019 and we can't tell when it will happen or why. Please be patient with delivery as this is completely out of our control.
