We're here!

| 5 Comments

Okay, we've been here and moved in, more or less, for a little over a week now. It's a real challenge trying to get the kitchen set up, considering that it's way, way smaller- about 1/3 of the storage of the old place. Man, I'd love to have the big 'ol walk-in pantry back!

We shall muddle through, however. I've already done some basic grilling in the rain, so I'm hardcore!

Thanks for all the good wishes! We're starting to ship orders again now, too.

Hitting the Road

| 5 Comments

Well, we moved out of the house yesterday. Sad, but it sure feels good to have one large part of the move done, at least. We're cleaning up odds and ends today, and we'll hit the road tomorrow morning.

Safe to say, no orders are shipping for the next week or so, until we have some sort of temporary office set up. We'll get caught up as soon as we can, thanks in advance for your patience.

See you on the other side!!!!!! Er, of the country, at least...

If you've ended up here after following any of the Desert Island Foods.com links, we've begun a long process of revamping the Desert Island Foods website. Although it's only 5 years old, that's a lifetime in terms of technology. Our venerable Storefront platform is no longer being supported, and with the changes I've wanted to make as far as what you see and the way the site works, it just was time to make the change.

It's been a goal of mine for a long time to have a more unified and seamless look to what used to be 2 websites smashed together, and the best ecommerce package and the best blogging package that were available 5 years ago just didn't play well together, but we've gritted our teeth to get through it until now.

What really brought this to a head is the other big news- Julie and I are beginning a cross-country move back to the Midwest. During this transition, the only product that will be available is Survival Spice®, which you can purchase by clicking on the links in the left sidebar. To help celebrate the change, I've lowered the price- $4.99 for individual tins, and just $24.99 for a six pack. PayPal is handling the merchant account, but you don't need a PayPal account to order- the credit card you've always used will work just fine!

There are a few kinks to work out, but we'll get them resolved quickly. Thanks so much for your patronage over the years, we love our customers!

Buy Survival Spice®!
