Hello all! Just wanted to provide a post as it has been a while since I have made any communication on this page. Over the past 2 years, the rising cost of literally everything has affected every aspect of peoples lives and local businesses of all sizes. It has been a very difficult time for getting supplies and navigating drastic price increases. I have spent the better part of the past year trying to find replacements and negotiating sensible prices so I can constantly and consistently provide our Spices and Specialty Salts. While it hasn't been perfect and I cannot bring all of the costs of supplies down, I have managed to at least locate suppliers that will ship to me regularly. The last bottle company I was dealing with was located in Nova Scotia, and after placing my order back in May for a bottle restock, I still have not received that order as of today, Aug 9th. That is incredibly frustrating and I have missed the summer season where our Salts are incredibly popular and I have not been able to partake in the Food Hub store that runs during this time. After cutting ties with them and getting my money refunded, I have to order my bottles from the US again. I managed to locate a supplier that will still ship to Canada.
With that being said, things will be turning around and I will be putting a big push on marketing and having a constant stock available. I will also be adding 1 lb options as I try to locate warehousing for storing large quantities of Spices. I will also be introducing a monthly subscription service that will ship out various s**ces and salts along with recipes every month. This is in the early stages of development, but is something I have been wanting to do for a while.
To all the people that placed orders with me this summer and have been waiting on stock, I can't thank you enough for being understanding and sticking with me. Being an incredibly small company, customer support and happiness is the backbone of my business and either makes or breaks me.
Once these hiccups are taken care of, I will be contact with everyone and will make it up to you all.
Thank you all for the support over the years and sticking with me during the hard times.
