Notice of Delays: The news reports significant delays in the US postal system due to recent changes and we have had reports that our endeavor is also affected. These delays may be as long as a month. It is completely out of our control. Our incoming mail may also be affected.

NOTE about the Virus Pandemic: As long as we are able to get to the Post Office and stay healthy and can find flour, we intend to continue sending out the starter. We are following the isolation and sanitary practices recommended by the medical professionals. Recent tests of the virus have shown it doesn't survive outside of the body more than 3 days on any surface so even if we were to be infected unknowingly, the starter and materials should be safe by the time it reaches you. If there is a complete lockdown or we get sick, then we might be unable to continue. So far, we have stayed healthy.
