I will be buying my cactus from you

Letters like this from our customers is ALWAYS welcome

 Hi,

    I just recently ordered a 5lb box of your cactus and it just arrived today.
You have very fast service and I will be buying my cactus from you in the
 future.  I was wondering what is the best way to store the cactus, I am
 using it for tortoise food and he will only go through about a pad every
 1.5 weeks.  Is there a way to store the rest so that it will last me a
 couple months?
 Thanks

 Hello J,
   We pick depending on the orders that come in and weather, usually most
 orders for fresh leaves go out within three to five days, but in the winter
 storms give us headaches, and sometimes we have to wait over a week to
 pick.. we have to wait until the plants are dry to pick.

    We’re glad you like the cactus. In general the older more mature Grade D
 leaves work best for storing. The grade A and B are gourmet quality for
 humans, and the Grade C is good for kitchens and restaurants… Grade D
 sounds terrible, but for most tort owners it is the best option… older
 tougher leaves have more fiber and store longer due to a thicker skin coating.

    by the way, may I use your comments in our customer testimonials page at
 http://www.nopalcactusblog.com/category/customer-testimonial/ ?  I’ll leave
 your name out and put your initials only…

 Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Sure you can use my comment, Also I did purchase the Grade D, and like
your website said it doesn’t look that bad at all.  Already gave some to
the tortoise and he loves it.

I read up on how to store it, Thanks.

Look forward to ordering with you in the future.
