The New School Year Here!
With the new school year just days away, have you been asking yourself which is right for you and your family? Have you wanted to start homeschooling? Are you happy with the public school system and how your child is developing. There are so many choices, only you know what is best for your child but you should always make an informed decision or at least be able to have info to weigh out your options.
Since Covid when the schools went virtual many parents have decided to take their children out of public schools and start homeschooling. Many people are now working remotely there seems to be a huge number of parents taking advantage and educating their children at home after seeing how they were really doing in the school system.

New Shipping Info
We will now be shipping every two weeks for the next couple of months. Our next ship date will be Wednesday September 13. We have been receiving a higher order volume than usual which of course means we have been running out of product faster. Yes, this is a good thing but not good when we can fulfill all orders and have to dissappoint our customers. It is for this reason we have decided to ship every 2 weeks, that does not mean that we won’t try our best to get it to you sooner as we will. We just don’t want for you to sit and wait wondering what is going on.
Also we will not be making any more Yuca pasteles until November for the start of the holiday season. Again we appreciate all your love and support as we continue to grow.
